My computer's hard drive crashed. No idea how long this connection will last, since the recovery disk seems to have worked only partially. Don't forget me, flist!

I have a leather rocker/recliner with an ottoman in my apartment. For the first, oh, two months or so that I had Alanna, the chair was usually covered with clothes or bags or something. I finally cleaned it off, and Alanna has claimed it as hers. I mean really, people, she actually gives out that grumpy meow and gives me a mean look when I dare ( Read more... )

Alanna is stalking-- something--that I can't see, and it's FREAKING ME OUT! Why can't she do this stuff in the daytime, instead of in the dark of night?

ETA: It turned out to be a large black ant. Know how I know that I really love my cat? I went to bed and let her keep stalking it, instead of disposing of the pesky thing!

While Alanna continues to be lovely, she also won't play with any of the toys I bought her, or any of the toys that I've made her, thanks to all your lovely suggestions.

NOW we know where he got the idea--from a fashion-challenged villain from a cheesy 80s movie! I'm never gonna quit being amused by this. :DDD ( Read more... )

I slept on the floor last night hoping it would make my back feel better. It worked, but Alanna had no idea what was going on, lol!

Printed out 2 copies of my play and my children's book, then went to the library and checked out some books to help me improve my chances of getting published, or at least, read. Now I'm off to a meeting with some ( Read more... )

I'm done with revising my play! \o/ I turned it from a monologue play geared toward high school students, to a regular, full-length, dialogue play with three acts. I damn near had to re-write the entire thing, but I did it, and I'm finished ( Read more... )

I finished my children's book today! \o/ I sat out on the back patio with coffee and wrote for two and a half hours. It's done, done, done! *does happydance ( Read more... )
