Got a pic
...and she let me pet her, sitting next to her on the floor, for 20 minutes. I think all will be awesome.

The aforementioned cat
I have a cat! Her name is Jetty. Surprisingly, she is not black - shorthair gray with white paws. I expected a black cat after hearing the name, but apparently she was actually named after the thing that sticks out from the beach, since the prior owner lives on Cape Cod.
I have her because her owner found it difficult to continue to take care of her ( Read more... ) -
pandemic cat
So apparently I'm getting a cat. This is an old cat, who has medical issues, and I'm mostly taking it because the person who is caring for it can't really manage it anymore due to their own issues. It arrives tomorrow. It is unclear how long this cat will last. Probably "exactly as long as it takes for me to bond with it". This entry was ( Read more... ) -
Circus!
Once again, I forget to tell people about Jocelyn's performance until it's nearly too late.
Jocelyn's Circus group in San Diego is putting on show tomorrow evening Sunday, January 17 at 5 PM Pacific time; 8 PM Eastern time. (I guess I'm not going to the Arisia masquerade after all, since it conflicts.)
You can buy tickets at http://www.sdcctickets. ( Read more... ) -
Arisia
So it's Arisia weekend. I usually go. I had a free membership, because I worked enough hours last year, so I thought I would stop in at the online thing. I'm glad I didn't have to pay. It's pretty lame. Usually on Saturday afternoon IRL the gaming room has over 100 people in it. There were two of us in the gaming Zoom. Maybe secretly there were 15 ( Read more... ) -
boring
I am boring. I kinna wish I had something interesting to post about. Getting tired of being boring. But at this point, probably anything interesting would be bad news.
Weather's even boring. High 40 low 25 for the past couple days and the next like 5 days running.
The kid is back in San Diego. Occasionally sending us email about stuff she needs ( Read more... ) -

Bicycling: "more than 2525" - there was the odometer crash and I had remembered a particular round number, but I really have no idea how much I bicycled after that. Including the round number and all of the other computations I ended up having to do, what with estimating each ride ( Read more... ) -
Happy new year!
We normally celebrate New Year's Eve at 7 PM, which is midnight GMT. However, this time Jocelyn was going to her boyfriend's house earlier than that (Covid safe? Maybe.), so we decided to celebrate at noon, where it turns out to be midnight in Thailand, among other places. The advantage of noon is that you actually get to see your clock saying 11: ( Read more... ) -
Less wise
Jocelyn came home for the holidays, and did what many freshmen do at that time: got her wisdom teeth out.
She seems to have had an easier time of it than I remember having at the same age (I did mine the summer before I went to college, another common time). She was slightly uncomfortable yesterday, but by today the bleeding has stopped and she ( Read more... )
