Bits and pieces

- There is a small cat asleep beside me, despite my committing the terrible affront of brushing her earlier.

- Latest books: Miss Smithers by Susan Just, sequel to Alice, I Think. Every bit as tonuge-in-cheek cynical as the first book. Fun. Chu-Ju's House by Gloria Whelan. Historical, very young YA, set in communist China. Good, but not as good as Homeless Bird.

- My morning glories have started blooming! The one plant, at least. Great, big purple flowers. It's too bad they don't last longer. Nasturtiums should be blooming in the next day or so, and the asters have buds. I seem to have gotten rid of most of the aphids, but the Thai basil and cilantro are suffering from something indefinite.

- Hoping for a slash panel at Conversion, but they only want to do one fanfic panel, and are probably going to aim for something more general. (Yes, let's have a panel just on fanfic. All of it. Any of it. Makes for incredibly vague conversation and an incredibly dull panel, for the most part. Of course, that could just be residual frustration from Animethon's fanfic panel.)

- Speaking of which, still need to cobble together con report.

- Also, blueberries and cottage cheese mixed together? Yummy!

Purely Eyecandy

Catwoman, that is. The plot was fluff, and I don't doubt that there were plot holes a truck could drive through. If I stopped to think about it. I seem to remember (very, VERY vaguely) the origins of Catwoman being a much darker story. But it was mildly entertaining fluff that had Halle Berry. And her breasts. In leather. Heh.

In other news, naked_bandit has pierced the nipples of one of her dolls and added a leash. *g* We played dress-up with her dollies. But then she had to go pick up the boy from school, and I had to go borrow a rubber snake in hopes of keeping the birds from stealing my ripe strawberries. Grr!
