Sunday morning miscellaneous
Jul. 21st, 2002 09:39 amBetty: Turns out she's a shadow chasing cat! I've seen these but never had one. She's hilarious. At night, while I'm reading in bed, she stations herself so she can attack the shadows from my reading lamp. I have a plastic bookmark with a tassle that drives her crazy. She chases the shadow like mad and then, once in a while, hops on the bed to see if she can capture the tassle. Soon, however, she realizes that while she's up there with the tassle, there's another shadow down on the floor and she goes after it.
Yesterday afternoon, I was reading and she was chasing. I put the bookmark in the book and left it on the bed. When I got there last night I found that she had not only 'rescued' the bookmark from the book, but had attacked it and pretty much chewed it to death. So, I pulled out my backup tassle bookmark and therein ensued mass confusion. Which bookmark should she chase? What was the difference? Why did one cause a "NO" and the wrinkled, chewed one, allow her to capture and chew even more? Life is such a puzzle.
Pictures: I got tired of my LJ pictures and found some more and then went to the Kodak site to play with them. (Kodak Playground) The default picture du jour is probably the best photo of me ever taken. It was at the Oregon shore taken by an ex-boyfriend about 10 years (and 50 pounds) ago. It feels fraudulent to use the unaltered version but, somehow, I'm ok about using this one.
Website Toys: I was looking through
joyofmacs's friends list and one of her friends had this very cool GuestMap linked to her profile. I fell instantly in love with it and added it to my site and my profile. I'm such a snob about so many web toys and such a sucker for others.
The basketball has started up but I've had to close all the blinds and turn on the air conditioner until the sun gets off my terrace.
