Because I’m in the midst of writing several papers, my brain can only handle bullets today.
- Coffee is supposed to go into your mouth…as opposed to down the front of your shirt. Apparently, I confused the two today.
- Laptops = cat beds, but only when you actively need to be typing.
- Cats are very good at emotional blackmail.
- Despite the fact that I have a relatively large desk, I prefer to work from the couch, with my laptop propped on the coffee table and a fortress of books/papers surrounding me. That’s right, I have once again taken over the living room…poor Apparent Dip.
- My life is really boring in the summers. I read. I pretend to write. I read some more. I watch a lot of brainless television. I actively avoid writing. Repeat ad nauseam.
- I really love my camera.
To distract you from the boring-ness of this post, here are some more cat pictures! And a pretty flower!

Meshuggenah spends most of her day sleeping or modeling...

A rare sighting of Edna Furber...who tends to stay under the bed.

Summers are like that. I really miss the stimulation of other researchers around me. Sad though it is, I’m always happiest when Autumn arrives and the new year kicks in. I have never understood people who celebrate the new year in January. Since the age of four mine has started in September.

Sisyphus: I was hoping the cat pictures would make people happy! Huzzah!
Table Talk: I am with you 100%. My birthday is in September as well, so I count autumn as my new year…new school supplies, cooler weather…it’s the greatest time of year for me!

Since I have yet to see Furber in person it was good to see that she does, in fact, exist. Great shots. As far as the coffee goes – perhaps you were too anxious for the caffeine.
