A photograph of two of our cats, Vivi and Halo. Vivi is a tuxedo cat, while Halo is white with tabby markings. They're standing on a desk against the window at the back of the room.

Stars, so. We made a point to watch the ‘Liberation Day’ broadcast last night. I’d referred the tariffs on the UK as ‘mate’s rates’, so that’s apparently never leaving my head now. Z kept commenting on just how made up the numbers being used were, and yeah, news reporting overnight/this morning backs that right the eff up. I’m not quite… Read more »

A photograph of two tuxedo cats on a light brown cat tree. They are both giving dubious looks to the photographer.

Uh yeah, so, um… hi, yeah. *laughs* I’m kind of impressed at how long I fell off the wagon here. I’m still managing daily elsewhere, but I don’t know. I guess I didn’t know what to say here about anything. I can report that if I did find my missing friend (now better known as ‘idiot fren’), he didn’t want… Read more »

Stars, I will get back into the habit of blogging here at some point. I mean, it’s not like there’s tonnes of exciting things in my life. The last couple of weeks have been me dealing with the absolutely dumbest shit. I had a dream about an old friend, which slammed me into the deepest grief I’ve ever experienced in… Read more »

Again, the cats with their various nap tubes. Vivi likes to nap at the midpoint of the tube, where he can be ‘alone’, but can also receive pets through the gap. He’d kind of lolled when I was petting him on this day, so he’d flipped his head out. Then rolled over and gave me A Look™®. Mate, mate. *laughs*… Read more »

Stars, I’m alive, honest. Things have been *waves hands* busy-ish. Which means me up to my usual gaming and crafting and work, the things that make up my normal day-to-day. We also had our annual family holiday, which was rather nice. The main thing a soul needs to know about that is that it was more accessible this time around,… Read more »

The Question

I keep surprising myself by pulling out opinionated posts on FB this week. Like, self, do we really have the spoons for this? But with the one I just posted, I hit the question of questions — why do people persist in doing things that hurt my friends and family? In this case, consuming anything Harry Potter, due to Rowling’s insistence… Read more »

Spaghetti Dinner

Spouse and eldest are in town to see Avril Lavigne today, so younger and I are doing our own thing. We went to the Post Office and bought some lovely junky. I made a huge pot of spaghetti, which Smaller was ridiculously excited about. I mean, I guess I was too, because it’s not a dish we normally get to… Read more »

Littler decided a bit back that she wanted to take flute lessons at school. Hey, I have a flute, maybe I should actually like, bother to practice. And I have, near daily, for the past… some amount of time. Month or two? *checks* About two months, yeah. I can’t say I’m getting spectacular at it, but I’m actually finally developing… Read more »
