1> I've opened [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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...

Noted on my calendar, and my address is linked from my userinfo page - click on "current contact info" (it's in a friends-only entry).

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?
