in lieu of content, kittens

I was going to write up a list of things that were making me happy despite the impending snow, like Downton Abbey and Dashiell Hammett novels.
But then I cut my hand in a feat of particularly impressive clumsiness, making it rather difficult to type.
So here are some recent photos of the kittens. I’m going to go hide until the Year of the Rabbit gets here.
bucket + snow

We have snow. Again. Lots of it.
I went to take some photos out the back door and Bucket got curious.
She’s usually not the curious cat type, so I was impressed that she actually took two whole steps before retreating back inside.
More snow photos over on Flickr.

I am slightly less congested, and Tessa has a new box.
boring, with computer & kitten.

I have had this update window open for hours. I can’t decide if I have nothing to say or too much to boil down to a proper post.
I went from being crazy busy to not busy at all last week, so of course I managed to get a head cold. And now I’m busy again. I keep forgetting what day it is. I thought it was Wednesday for most of the morning, but apparently it is only Tuesday. That’s good, probably.
Here’s another view of Friday’s visual aid:
Shiny, shiny new MacBook Air. I keep thinking I’m going to put it down somewhere and lose it, it’s so skinny! Still getting used to it, but so far it’s been fabulous.
And now I’ve had this half-a-post in progress for several additional hours.
I might have to just face facts and admit that I am boring today. Or possibly this week. I am all to-do lists and Kleenex and learning about accounting. None of which makes for interesting blogging.
And the mailman neglected to pick up my outgoing mail. That is the height of excitement around here today, dear readers.
Here, in lieu of more interesting content, have a Tessa. She looks how I feel:
And she’s sitting on my book contract. Sigh.
tessa and a box. again.

Yet another Tessa + Box = TRUE LOVE story that will leave the kitten crushed and broken-hearted when I must recycle the box.
She’ll find another (inevitably doomed) cardboard love. She’s resilient.
regularly scheduled kittens

There’s been far too much book excitement around here, and not enough of what is truly the heart of this blog: the kittens.
So, here are the fluffmonsters in their natural habitat, cardboard boxes.
Tessa is actually sitting on even more of the crumply paper. She’s been in there for hours, though, so it must be more comfortable than it looks.
Bucket is managing to sit in the sunshine and in a cardboard box at the same time. Talented, talented kitty that she is.
beyond revisionland & also an albino squirrel
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
I am out of Revisionland for the moment. Beyond Revisionland looks an awful lot like Revisionland, but Septembery.
I spent most of last week finishing & polishing & re-polishing. I’ve lost all perspective, which is usually a sign that I need to stop looking at it for awhile, so it’s gone off to Agentland.
I spent all day yesterday reading Mockingjay. I’m very conflicted about it, and I suspect I’ll be processing my thoughts on it for a good long while. I mostly enjoyed it while I was reading but I just didn’t love it the way I loved The Hunger Games & Catching Fire. I think part of it is the scope. While HG & CF had a lovely, intimate immediacy to the circumstances, Mockingjay is much more vast, and I’m not sure how well it wears it.
Also, during Revisionland internet hiatus, I got my albino squirrel from Sleepy King.
Because, well, I needed an albino squirrel.
Squirrel photo taken with my new camera lens that just came in the mail today. I’ve been meaning to take more photos & I always get good Salem shots in the autumn, so I figured I’d invest in a new lens. It’s a Canon 50mm f/1.8 II and no, I totally don’t know what it means other than it does that fuzzy background thing I love, and from a few minutes of playing around with it, it takes gorgeous photos of kittens.
This may be the first time I’ve ever caught the Tessa yell on camera.
Still getting used to it, but so far I kind of love it. A few more shots of Tess are over on my oft-neglected Flickr photostream.
In other news, summer decided to have a last hurrah so it is far too hot, and I kind of don’t know what to do with myself now that I’m out of Revisionland. Maybe I’ll take more photos of kittens. Or peek at one of those WIPs that I’ve been neglecting. Or knit. Or something.
