Nasty Cat
This morning, because of the rain I was quite pleased that I didn't have to water the "lawn" (I wonder how long it'll be before I'm okay with calling it just a lawn without the quotes...) so I got up early and went for a run. Uneventful, so that was a good thing.
Came back, was sweating because it was getting into the sweltering temperature range. So I sit on my computer and start to check www.cnn.com. All the sudden Pud jumps into my lap. You know when you just get finished working out, your face is all red, you are just dripping sweat and then a cat rubs her shedding body against your arm. Not the most pleasant thing. So I throw her to the ground (lightly) and continue. Bastard animal did it again...and again! So I said screw it and I went outside.
And who did I find outside? Yep.. it was the Mother Cat. I think I'm going to name her. I think that from now on, she will be known as Princess Jill. Why? Why not. Anyway, so Princess Jill was out there, hanging out in the "lawn". Just sitting there, so I brought her some food and it out. She ran away (as usual) , but I was surprised to not see her kittens around. I wonder where they went. Hmmm.. We'll see. I'm sure they'll be back. Especially if I keep shelling out more money for cat food. Speaking of which, I can't forget to get some of that tonight or poor Seven will wilt away... not that it would be a bad thing for him to shed a few pounds.
So Seven is a pretty sharp cat. He knows that if he comes into the room when I'm about to fall asleep and starts to meow, I'll pick him up. He knows that I'm lazy and won't use two hands. He, being the corpulent blog of fat and bone that he is, assumes the "hook position" so that I can extend my arm from lying in the bed, and he puts his body, perfectly balanced in "the hook" and I tow him up into the bed. It works out well for everyone involved.
Allison is going to be here on Friday evening, so that's exciting. Haven't seen her in ages. I have also been given a task. On Sat. I am going to Happy Deli and getting beer for the evening. For those of you that don't know, Happy Deli rivals Disney World as "the happiest place on earth" apart from having the stoic Russian guys behind the counter, they have perhaps one of the best beer selections (bit overpriced) in Manhattan. Either way, it'll be a great time.
So one of my perennial favorite web pages, www.beeradvocate.com just instituted a "want" and "got" list. You put up the beers that you are looking to try and the beers that you have, and people contact you for a trade. I really like the system. I already found someone that'll trade something with me, so we'll see how that goes. I'm only doing a one bottle test run so as to not get too badly burned. I know how this bastard of an internet works. Anyway.
I should get back to working on this deposition.
