1> I've opened mimble as my MLIS journal.

2> My house has a kitten! Kitten kitten kitten kitten! Black and grey tabby KITTEN! She is very fluffy, and three months old, and cute even by the normally high kitten standards. Her eyes are still a murky grey, and I'm wondering what they will settle on. Her human mother, my housemate, has named her Miss Molly Malone. My apologies to all of you (especially spaced) who now have an earworm.

With interactive encouragement, she can play for an hour and a half straight (under the desk, pause, run and LEAP to land dead-center on the pouncing practice target, run back under the desk...). Then she sleeps for four hours. Then she does it again.

I know. This is what kittens do. But she's so cuuuuute!

Psst: you know about the pah-tays at the Metaphorest (10/21) and Nerdvana (10/29), yes? Be there? Pretty please with leather on top?

Yes, yes, alright.

Now you have to feed her cockles and mussels! :)

Now I have kitten envy...

... and please say you'll be at the Metaphorest do on the 21st. It think it will be a fine thing to see you, perhaps also a "safety in numbers/hombase" kind of thing.

Must get your new mailing address soon too...

You are the first of two posts in a row about new kittens coming into your home. It must have been a wild and crazy summer for all the cats.

Drat. Now I can never come to your domicile again without first taking medication that makes me drowsy and dopey. Sad me. >

Oh. Sorry. Damn. Um. We could put a hypoallergenic filter bag over your head when you come in instead?

Well, is she a short hair or a long hair? I tend to do better with short hairs, as they shed less prolificaly. This will mitigate things enough that if I remember to brush off my clothes and wash my hands immediately after touching her for more than a few seconds, I should not have much, if any, reaction.

Um. Long hair. Quite fluffy. We can keep her from touching you, though...

P.S. We better do dinner in my neighborhood; I have 25 papers to read today. Give a call when you're leaving campus?
