Cutest fuzzbuckets ever

I got a delivery today, and the box is their favorite new toy. I couldn't possibly throw it away. Dangit.


They take turns being the kitten-in-box who pops out to scare the other one. And the kitten on the outside plays whack-a-mole. So cute!

Normal adult hobbies

I forget how we got on the subject, but my friend Jen and I last week were talking about robots.

I said to her, "I love robots" and she asked "Why?" and I said, "because they're cute and cuddly" and she said "No they're not, they're metal and rectangular!" So I said, "No, not the robots of the 21st century, they're more roundy" and so I drew one to prove it... And then she said, "That's not a robot, that's a monster!" bah.



I forget how this next part came about, but I then told her I would make her a robot. So yesterday I went to the hardware store, which I absolutely love to do anyway, and I picked up a full basket of robot-making supplies. The guy at the counter started ringing me up and I'm watching his face just sort of snickering on the inside because my basket of supplies screams "WTF?!" and his face becomes more and more puzzled and my inner giggles get bigger and bigger. He then says to me, "I've worked here a long time and this is by far the most random assortment of things I've ever seen."

Yes! I secretly high-5 myself in my head.

And I offered up no explanation. Because #1: He doesn't need to know that a grown adult woman is making a robot in her spare time, and #2: I don't need that kind of embarrassment.

I then went home, got out even more supplies from my toolbox and sewing box and art supply box and went to town making a robot. Here we go...















Jen came over to pick up her robot tonight and the look on her face when she first set eyes on him was priceless. Another inner high-5. I call him the Utilibot2000 because he has tons of usable supplies all over him. She went to an engineering school and says she will motorize him so that he'll be a fully functioning robot soon. Oh, and she named him Jonathan. Then she took him home, but first we buckled him safely in her backseat...



I secretly want to make more robots.

Time travel

I want to time travel to the 1960s and live in Bob Dylan's hair. I'd set up camp, lay out a tarp, and look up at the stars while listening to Visions of Johanna and a distant harmonica.

I'm pretty sure I'd be kept awake until the early morning hours by Bob's friends and the sounds of hey man and I dig it, and lots of long drags on short cigarettes.

And I'd stay awake just long enough to hear everyone leave, except Joan Baez...

as she ironically sang Bob to sleep with her version of Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands.

Oprah's makeup

@elizorbeth: I wonder what it would look like if you piled up all the makeup Oprah has ever worn.

@JenLuna: That's a very odd thing to wonder. I think u just earned yourself a weirdo point.

Where's your meow?

May as well change the name of this blog to CatBlog2011.

So there was this 'game' I used to play with DaisyCat called "Daisy, where are your arms?!"...

because she always looked like a Hover Cat (tm)...



And now I play a 'game' with Mac called, "Mac, where's your meow?"...

because when he opens his mouth to meow, nothing comes out...

This might be the cutest thing ever

Mindy has started giving Mac cat-baths, and it's ridiculously cute...

Mac Attack and Mindy-Poo

Mac is warming up and coming out of his little furry shell. He's constantly attacking Mindy now...



So his nickname is Mac Attack...


Their cuteness killllls me...

The Joy of Kittens

Yesterday I picked up Mac and Mindy from the adoption center and brought them home. I'm already the annoying cat lady texting kitten photos to friends and family. Permanent smile on face. These guys are killing me with cuteness. Seriously, it hurts.

Bringing the babies home...


Getting familiar with their new home...


Mindy chilling on the couch...


Mac exploring...


Cuddle time...


Mac relaxing in his lil bed...


Turns out Mindy wasn't as quick as Mac in learning where the litter box is and how to use it...


Just had to laugh, poor kitty. This down comforter is the only nice thing in my place, the only thing I actually bought new when I moved to Colorado. Somehow animals must sense these things. This morning Mindy followed Mac to the litter box and actually used it. Nicely done, Mindy.
