Yesterday the little ones visited us at the library and got non-candy treats. My favorite was the thumb-sucking Batman, but there was much to love. There were princesses (natch), an Incredible Hulk, even a little girl pirate with no trace of princess about her.

During the break, the head of the youth department told me that Spider Man took off his mask to have a snack, and one of his friends exclaimed, "Wyatt!" I love how the little kid brain works, don't you? Don't answer that.

Things that make me happy while I wait for November 4th to get here

Cooking with violetisblue. Even if it's just a little thing, it's relaxing to hash out the WTF parts of one's day over a vegetable curry or a chickpea cutlet.

The Neuter Scooter visited the area today, spaying and neutering 25 cats. That's not a lot for them, but they did 102 in Crown Point the day before so I think they deserve a break. By the time I arrived they were already done, so I got to see owners pick up their cats which was really sweet. I love how goofy people are about their pets, or their ferals or strays they want to protect. Dr. Peavy went home with some homemade vegan cholent as a teeny expression of my thanks.

Twilight. All the kids on fandomsecrets went on and on and on and ON about how this series is the Death of Grate Litriture and that Stephenie Meyer gave them rectal cancer that I had to give this book a go, and now I love it. It's big and silly and gothic romance for high schoolers (and me) and it's just the thing I'm in the mood for reading right now. I love Meyer turned the Pacific Northwest (a "damp green hole," her words) into The Moor. I love how Bella is so a 35 year old teenager, how Stephenie Meyer really grooves on young guys impossibly handsome Edward is, and how much Bella turns him on and how *totally her fault* it is. She's so meen! I think everyone needs to be a little bit more careful about all the accidental on-turning there is here. I even giggled at the whole "vegetarian vampires" thing-- only a Mormon would think snacking on a mountain lion is vegetarian in any sense of the word. Let the mass defriending commence!

My new screensaver, it are lovely and a little creepy.

Cat meme

If you are reading this, post a picture of a cat in your journal. (Your cat, a lolcat, or someone else's cat. But preferably yours, if possible.)



Taken this evening, a picture of bad baby bastard lounging in the lap o' luxury.

I wish I could snap a photo of her now, she's doing the adorable sleeping wif crossed paws thing. She sleeps 37 hours a day you'd think I'd be able to catch her on film doing it once in a while.
