The Chez Mew mind this week
Filed in: lists, personal, Wed, Jan 19 2005 19:55 PT
Our household is undergoing some degree of obsessive-compulsive behavior this week. This post contrasts the mental imbalances that have appeared at home, and their various outward manifestations.
- Current obsession
- K: A new cat.
- Matt: Hardware that functions.
- Recent purchases:
- K: Litter box, kitten food, jingly and crinkly cat toys, one of those grooming combs you stick on the wall.
- Matt: Antec aluminum case, 6dB gain WiFi antenna
- Objects of attention:
- K: Cat breeder sites, Gmail (waiting impatiently for email from breeders)
- Matt: Stupid-ass Vaio that bluescreens when he installs the goddamn Alps touchpad driver on XP, Google (hunting down any clue as to what’s going on)
- Most frequently-used word, past 5 days:
- K: Cat (and derivatives thereof)
- Matt: Fuck (and derivatives thereof)
- Places visited:
- K: Cat show 100 miles south of town; breeder 15 miles north of town
- Matt: Fry’s, Re-PC, massage therapist, breeder 15 miles north of town
- Sample blog/LJ post from last week:
- K: Kitty. Kitty! I like kitties. I especially like Bengals and pixie bobs. Kitties and kitties and oooh! Kitty! So cute! (yawns) I’m tired. Time to go to bed and dream about kitties. (Oh, and I have a new job.)
- Matt: (didn’t blog)
- Favorite football team
- K: Bengals
- Matt: Go Pats wooooooooooo
I think “8000 piece puzzles are hard, let’s talk about cats” should go in there somewhere too. :^)
