There is nothing lovelier than the slow dawning awareness of a roughly 1 year old former shelter cat discovering that laps are quite nice things really. The way she stopped on her way to the back of the couch, and just sort of sank onto me? Lovely wee girl. Took her since March to get there.

Cannot recommend enough seeing Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine) on his current tour. So. Fucking. Good. Great music, yes, but also a lot of story-telling about his life and a really very clear point of view.
Plus he kept the (Canadian) audience up to date on how the Jays were doing :-)

At neighbourhood theatre listening to Tom Morello. If you get the chance, go. One man show. Fucking brilliant. Funny. Sad. Beautiful. Just what I needed.

This morning: Cat in another room realises I'm awake, comes running to greet me AT THE SAME TIME I, facing in the other direction, shove my foot out from under the covers and into the space currently occupied by the face of the cat.
Cue guilt for me, and cat eating foie gras, for the rest of time.

Was just wandering through the feed and realised I havn't talked about Charlie in a while. The attached photo is several months old at this time. So! She has settled in well to the life of a pampered house cat. While she still doesn't understand the concept of laps, she generally hops up on...

Given that I live a reasonably large distance from a Great Lake, and that the lake closest to me can be easily swum across, I have questions about the foghorn/large cruise ship noises I'm hearing this morning.

When you're going along with your life and you get a bill for a medical procedure and it is less than usual and you suddenly remember that you are, now, officially government levels of old and find yourself surprisingly quite content with that truth ;-)

Just me and the cat in the room. Cat, lying on the back of the sofa, purring happily, suddenly focuses intently on the wall, stops purring completely.
Well, this isn't even remotely terrifying.

Who do I have to pay to get a recording of Alexander Rossi explaining how things work? Man, it hits my competence kink hard!
(No, I have no desire to actually meet him or talk to him or anything. Just the voice, TYVM)
Also, hi. Long time no... anything here, really. Trying to get back into it.

OMG the weather appears to have broken after two weeks of unbearable humidity it has rained and there's a breeze and I can open all the windows and let in non-steamy air and there's a possibility I might cry I am so fucking happy!

I am not a person who enjoys getting caught up in the conversations of people I don't know. I am, however, polite (unless I know you and then you get to hear all of my swears, lucky you). Today is laundry day. Laundry room is in the basement.

For those of you who woke up this morning to an eerie silence and wondered where the birds have gone, don't worry. All of them ALL OF THEM are apparently having their annual conference in the trees outside my bedroom window.
It appears there are some contentious issues they still need to sort out.

There is nothing quite like the joy of a cat who had just been gifted the cardboard of the empty toilet roll.

I have just had my hand smacked by my cat. No claws, but three fast hard smacks on my hand. I had dared to touch her belly. I have been TOLD!
Note to cat: If you don't want me to touch it why are you rolling over and showing it to me? Huh? HUH?????
