Poor Kitty
My cat, Kaktus, sheds a lot. He's 9 years old - will be 10 this spring. He's a calm and cuddly old cat. Never moves much. My partner and I usually joke that "Whoah careful there, you wouldn't want to strain yourself!" Whenever he gets up, to lie down in a different position. But yeah, he sheds a lot. In the morning he comes up to me in the bed and ( Read more... ) -
Philosophy
You scored as a Existentialism
Your life is guided by the concept of Existentialism: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life.
“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”
“It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.”
--Jean-Paul Sartre
“It is man's natural sickness to believe that ( Read more... ) -
Funny Quote of the Week
I have no idea who said it, and I've translated it from Danish, so bear with me. I love it :D
"Of all musical instruments the banjo is the one that most resembles the human voice, it merely lacks the ferocity of the harp."
Laugh with me, people.
Oh yeah, I'm thinking of buying a harp, that's why I remembered this one. -
Internet again
Wooot!
It only took them two weeks to not set up my connection in the new place. So I called them yesterday and asked what the hell was going on.
They were all "Oh something seems to have gone wrong in the process. We'll fix it now."
Well, gee, thanks. But now it's all working fine, and I'm back online. -

I have grown tired of LJ, so I am moving all my political and otherwise opinionated posts to wordpress.

Downtime
I haven't been terribly active lately. Things have been going on in my personal life, among them is (for once) a happy fact. Namely that I have now started dating the man I've been interested in for quite a while. There's a lot of new discoveries to be made with this, and I'm spending a lot of time with him these days ( Read more... ) -
Spring?
It's early February. The weather ought to be cold and wet, possibly even with heavy snows. But no. We have high sun and it's actually fairly warm. 14 degrees Celsius is nice, and I decided to go spend some time writing on a bench in the park. As it turned out the wind was a tad too cold for it to be really comfortable, but just as I was concocting ( Read more... ) -
Considerate behaviour
In the bus on my way home today, I saw the blind man and his black lab guide dog. I see him quite often on the bus routes I use. He usually sits in the front seat. Today at the central station, it was after 5 PM, and by then there's a bus every hour instead of every 20 minutes. That means the bus fills up more than usual. There were still plenty of ( Read more... ) -
A terrier thing...
I don't know if it is, but I just saw an airedale mix on Animal Cops Houston and it behaved in exactly the same way as my folks' Irish terrier when petted. The exact same movements, the exact same mimicry. It's difficult to describe exactly what it is, but this dog, though much bigger, was so similar to Kian in mannerisms. It's scary. I wonder if ( Read more... )
