The orange one is Nevada, Jersey is the one hiding. This was taken a few weeks ago. Littermates, they came in feral and I've been having fun socializing them as of late. Jersey loves to cry and wail and fuss about how OMG MEANE I am to him as soon as I pick him up-- until I swaddle him in a towel and plop him on my lap, then he'll stay there for at least a half hour purring and getting his snuggle on. I always know when he's had enough because usually after 30 minutes he'll all of a sudden jump out of my lap and start leaping in the air at the door like he's trying to turn the handle himself. Nevada couldn't be more different. He likes to be held, but never ever in my lap. He's a bit more adjusted than Jersey is overall. Another difference-- Nevada loves to chase toys; Jersey doesn't. I've also been clipping their nails, mostly because they're young and it's not too late to get them used to get their paws handled, but partly because I LOVE PAIN. Today Jersey screamed his head off but it didn't occur to him to rip my throat out-- a good sign. And Nevada meowed at me! First time he's ever done that. I'd love for them to be adopted together but I don't think they'd be heartbroken if they weren't.

This week I ate things with lots of lovely butter in them and immediately feel all happy and purry. Think why don't I eat like this all the time? Then remember why. Ow tummy ow ow ow. That's why my cholesterol is so low-- it hurts too much to really be bad for me. It's good to have an internal vice mechanism.

I'm listening to Jane Fonda read My Life So Far and really enjoying it. Anyone who makes that many white guys that mad is doing something right. I read it last year but her reading it is just too cool. Theatrical in the best way. At one point I'm like, wow, she sure talks about herself a lot-- then remembered, well, it IS her autobiography. If you can't talk about yourself then...

This morning I couldn't take my hair in my eyes anymore, so I grabbed the bandage scissors and cut straight across. Now I look like a sexy Romulan babe who got a haircut from her kindergartner. I like it. I suits me.

Am waiting Invasion of the Dinosaurs with Mouse. I love the special effects. Why can't all movies and tv shows be like this? And I love Sarah Jane Smith so much! Why can't her audio adventures be as good as she is? She's all intrepid and bossy and stuff. And I'm sorry, I refuse to believe she's pined over the Doctor ever since she was dropped off in Aberdeen. Her and K-9 had a good laugh at Ten's expense.
