Simplification
I decided that taking Pixel to the vet was more important than buying a laptop. Guess I need to go get some network cards…

Shall we play a game?
It’s really hard to play a game when an 8-week-old kitten decides to use your lap as a bed.
Avoiding buying a new laptop…
I am getting really tired of some of the… idiosyncracies of my wonderful current laptop… that is now 5.5 years old. Tarot has some issues (Not the Tarot you’re thinking of, unless you know why my desktop is named Ghostwheel, and my other desktop Logrus…). He’s just been abused for several years. I want a new laptop.
Glitch Glitch
Glitch is not the smartest cat in the shed. He is sometimes brilliant, but sometimes really, really, REALLY dumb. At least from a human perspective. It’s currently 5:30 in the morning. I don’t want to be awake. I got bumped just enough by a cat to wake up, and see Glitch looking out the window
Saddest thing I saw today…
Long story short: Mandrina and I adopted two new kittens. There are stories and pictures, but I don’t have the time right now. Instead, I’m going to tell you a cute, cute story about a little kitten that can’t see. Bit came downstairs with her brother, Pixel, and were playing throughout the ground floor of
Babylon 5 Revisited
The show is still as stilted and contrived as I remember, but from the perspective of someone who’s read “If Chins Could Kill” multiple times, I do appreciate the fact that major characters who were around for a season or two are consistently brought back in major roles. The sense of continuity is fairly impressive.

Cute Cat On All Wood Floors
While Mandrina and I are still adjusting, we both are happy in our new house. Except, of course, for the boxes, and lack of clothing (not completely, just a scarcity of available clothing). Glitch, on the other hand, is being a pain in the rear. He was uprooted from where he had lived most of
New house!
So I’ve been absent for over a month, now. I’ve been busy. Short version: Mandrina and I closed on our new house (see an old picture, above), on March 27, 2006. As of today, we’re more or less moved in. The long version includes such side quests as “Nightmare Electrician: Upgrading the Electrical in a
Scary thoughts about weight
I usually care about my weight only in the “am I healthy”, and “how’s my endurance” categories. Today, however, I weighed myself after taking a shower, and although the weight was right in the neighborhood I expected, I found myself thinking… “How much does the water still in my hair weigh?”
