I have noted that on my phone, when I'm typing "we're," it always wants to autocorrect to "werewolf," so I guess I type that a lot?

Crazy weather lately. Blizzard one minute, over and done and sun coming out 20 minutes later.

In cat news du jour, we finally have proof that Fat Reggie is, in fact, a cat, and not some alien pod thing in a cat's body: He jumped into a box and just sat there like a derp. CATNESS: CONFIRMED.

Oswald has recovered nicely from his intestinal surgery. He now has to have a lion cut at least a couple of times a year, to make sure no more hairball blockages. He looks so doofy now!

I have a Monty too! Though less fluffy.

In terrible news, I am done all of @sblackmoore.bsky.social's Eric Carter books, as well as @byharryconnolly.bsky.social's Great Way and Twenty Palaces books. Now what am I to do?? I'm bereft. Need reading recommendations for books/worlds that are as tremendous as those!

Rewatching True Detective, Season 1. Just as mesmerizing as the first time. I remember when it was airing, we watched it weekly, alternating with eps of S1 of Hannibal. The shows felt like they were in parallel universes that occasionally touched. So eerie. Try it... it is a surreal experience.

Poor Oswald is at the emergency vet going into surgery for an intestinal blockage. Same thing happened a year ago. I hope he makes it. So stressful. He's such a great cat.

Lawd knows, I cannot resist some kitsch. Look at this ridiculous and awesome over-the-top golden deer bowl! I dunno, maybe for draining the blood of your enemies? Or a nice rum punch. Either/or.

This is such an old meme, but boy it cracks me up every time!

I have made this monstrous trifle for today's dessert. It's kind of an improvised dish... sort of an apple pie trifle, with a spice cake base, apple butter, custard, apples and raisins sauteed in cognac, and whipped cream. And toasted almonds. It weighs as much as a fat baby or a Maine Coon Cat.

My husband took this slightly arty shot of our cat Monty, reflected in one of the pics. He's curled up in his hammock and is not so much "lunatique" as the wall plaque says, but more "extremely sedate."

Monty has had a very tiring day, what with so much lying around, napping, snoozing, and vigorous loafing. I'm worn out just thinking of it.

My gawd, I rewatched Twilight... it's even worse than I remember.
Is it worse than Love, Actually though? Hmm. Things to ponder during the holidays.

Looked for this childhood Xmas anthology for YEARS. Last week the title sprang into my head suddenly out of nowhere, and I went and found it online. Thank you, AbeBooks! The satisfaction of bagging this holiday book prey at long last is ENORMOUS!

Tree has survived dismemberment and reconstruction, now with lights that actually work! Haven't been arsed to put up the decorations yet, except for the low-rent silver balls from the dollar store. Don't want to overdo and hang ALL the baubles at once. To the chaise longue to recover!
