Cats and Mice.

2.13.2008

This Christmas, my mom enacted a policy of "no presents from China" - which meant a lot of hand made stuff. She was kind enough to include the kitties in the gift-giving. She knitted these wool mice, and filled them with organic catnip. Do the kitties like them? Why, yes, they like them very much. They get very excited when we go near the drawer where the mice are stored.

Time Flies When You're Coding.

12.27.2007

I figured I'd spend a minutes doing just a bit of coding for the imminent version 2.0 of Pew Pew Laser Blog. Here I am, two hours later and needing a shower. At least I got the authentication query written.

As for the news in brief, the kitties survived their trip down to the Portland area - they only meowed for the first hour. Christmas was very pleasant, and disaster was avoided on all counts. The husband likes his new lens, and I'm looking forward to going to Teatro Zinzanni.

Halloween Wrap.

11.1.2007

I'm pleased to report that the trick-or-treaters liked the PlayDoh that I was worried about giving out. Sadly, we got less than a dozen spooky visitors. So we're just going to have to find some way to use the remains of the three bags of candy that we bought.

I just finished reading Idlewild, by Nick Sagan. (Yes, Nick is Carl's son.) Idlewild was delightfully appropriate for the season, and the best substitute for not having a new Gaiman book to read. It was tightly crafted dark fantasy, and I enjoyed how Sagan communicated a deep and emotional world with economic word use. I look forward to reading more of his work.
