Sophie and Zorie had their first weekend alone and there was an actual house when we returned, not just a smoking hole in the ground. I won't go so far as to say they missed us, but they did still recognize us ( Read more... ) -
Obscure Movies
Saw Mongol last night, a film about the early life of Ghengis Khan. It was great, with lovely vistas, engaging battle scenes, and a compelling story. Also, excellent hats and plenty of horses. It's playing at the Shirlington, you should see it if you like Kurosawa's films - or hats.
The gore level is pretty minimal considering the subject matter. ( Read more... ) -
Home Theater
I tried giving the kittens the run of the house over the weekend. I did shut the door to the basement when I fed Mr. B, so he could eat in peace, but other than that they were loose. I think it worked well; a few things got knocked over or pulled out (such as the CDs) but there were no real traumas for anyone. The kittens are becoming quite ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Your First Record
The Partridge Family Album was the first I owned, and yes, I've grown beyond it. First one I bought for myself was Kansas, but I'm not sure of the title. It had "Point of No Return" on it. -

Evcelt is handling the sad business of clearing Molly's presence from the house - he took her crate apart and out of the living room, put away her bowls, put her collar on the Ghede altar, and found a shelter with a client who has Addison's Disease. We had just gotten a new shipment of Florinef when Molly died, so we were left with 5 unopened ( Read more... ) -
Th e Terror Twins Discover the Scratching Post
We have been letting the kittens out of durance vile in the bathroom for little get acquainted sessions with the rest of the house. Yesterday evcelt moved the old scratching post out to a spot where they couldn't miss it, and the games began. We are well nigh dead of cute - the way one will clamber up on top, then fight with the other, is just ( Read more... ) -
Self-Doubt re: Kittens
I've been reading enough about "Kitten Care" to put the fear into me. We will refill the bathroom litterbox with non-clumping litter tonight. S and Z have tested negative for FeLeuk and FIV, but I am still worried that they may have had False Negatives. And what about worms! (Yes, they've been wormed, and had their first set of vaccinations...) I ( Read more... ) -

Ours Goes To Eleven
Had a good festival this year, much of which can be attributed to being in the cool and shady Cabin 11. Other than the tornado incident, nothing disturbing happened. Even the power going out on Saturday didn't cause much of a problem (for me, others' MMV). Didn't go to many classes this year, but the ones I caught were excellent.
There were two fire ( Read more... )
