“There is a mouse-width trough through my loaf of bread. I think our cats are defective.” -me, 2008-10-07 It now appears that we have a pair of mousers. Last weekend, Kim discovered that Norman caught a mouse in the back yard. I don’t find the video disturbing–if I hadn’t known it was a real mouse, … Continue reading The food chain in action

The Disappearing Cat
As I’m always happy to say, I live in a house that celebrated its hundred year birthday this year. As such, there are some weird architecture bits. You may have also heard me mention Norman, the kitty who routinely hangs from windows, sits on the OUTSIDE of the windowsills, and whatnot. These two points intersect … Continue reading The Disappearing Cat
My life, the bad sitcom
Kim: Did the timer go off? Me: I didn’t hear it. Kim: You didn’t hear it? Timer: *brrrrrring* Me: The timer went off. In other news, Ebenezer — the nekkid cat — has reaffirmed some of his quirks. He is the only cat I know that is indifferent toward catnip, yet loves bleach. Kim is … Continue reading My life, the bad sitcom
Photoblogtastico!
Last weekend, this is where I biked to. There were people making out, people in a far-off drum circle, a crazy old lady with a harmonica, a pair of young Italian guys playing bocce ball, and lots of people walking their dogs. The reservoir has funny little processing buildings that look like a combination between … Continue reading Photoblogtastico!
Photos, Themes, & Cool Cats
Based on feedback, both online and off, I think I am going to go with a Flickr Pro account for my photo hosting. The Aperture integration is beautiful and the functionality is great. I’ll miss being able to pull up stats and the ability to mess with people who hot-link pictures from MySpace. I’m waiting … Continue reading Photos, Themes, & Cool Cats
Jungle Cats
As I tweeted earlier, “Almost 8am. Almost 80 degrees out. This does not bode well for the rest of the day.” My (wannabe) jungle cats! Let you show you them! And, of course, there are many more photos like those ones. Posted in:
Pictures, Invites, and Question
Pictures! This is my entry in the ColorWars reverse-caption contest: It was warm and sunny this afternoon. Everyone was enjoying it. It’s amazing what a little work and less than $20 worth of supplies from the hardware store can do to get you more organized. This is my “network closet” (you can’t really see the … Continue reading Pictures, Invites, and Question
The floor is made of lava
Did you ever play the lava game as a kid? The subject came up again last night as we were steam cleaning the carpet for a houseguest this weekend. It seems like everyone I talk to has played it, or at least some minor variant. Technically, I think the label “game” is less accurate than … Continue reading The floor is made of lava
Atop the lap
When the lap is occupied by the laptop, Ebenezer is forced to be creative. I think he’s the only cat I know that enjoys being upside-down. On a related note: in the same situation, I am forced to be a little creative in how I type. Posted in:
Sense.
The vending machine at work confuses me. Water is twice the price of soda. Sure, the Cokes are 12oz and water is 20oz, but it’s water! I can get filtered water for free from the refrigerator. In other news, I went to a site with a cute little CAPTCHA today. Sure, it’s not quite KittenAuth, … Continue reading Sense.
