“New fashion of this Spring! It’s gonna hit big! She’s kind of froggy…”
Oh. My. God. (No, that’s no my cat.) I love the Japanese. Check out this page of costumes for cats. The descriptions are as funny as the pictures. What kind of person dresses their cat up as “Anne of Green Gables”? I do like the “gentleman’s” shirt and tie though. It’s “the least that handsome boy needs.” And don’t forget to give you cat a “hub” afterwards!
I’ve made an unofficial start on the Cheesylove sweater my sister and I are doing as a knitalong. (She’s not doing the ruffle and I am, so I’m starting a little early.) Good grief. Do you know how long it takes to cast on 504 stitches? Frickin’ ages! And technically you have to do that twice, because the real ruffle’s supposed to be 1008 stitches. Now I understand why they have you do it in two parts, otherwise you’d need a circular needle about three feet long.
What?? Princess Di had an affair with General Zod??
New seasonal site theme for the week… Remember kids, Guinness is good for you!
Attention Sydney reality TV fans: Channel Seven has just started rebroadcasting the first season of The Amazing Race! It’s on Sunday mornings at 11:00. The Snook and I are enjoying seeing how it all began.
Grrrr. I woke up this morning to discover I’d been spammed by the “brokenman.net” guy (not a link to his site). He’s got an album launch happening soon or something. I wrote him back to say, “It’s bad enough I have to see your spam all over the sidewalk, but now I have to get it in my Inbox too? Please take me off your mailing list.” I’m all for underground fight-the-power guerilla marketing tactics myself but this is getting ridiculous.
Happy birthday to me…
Why yes, those are Wonder Woman Underoos. I was a cool three-year-old.
Cat Scratch Fever
Amy’s officially been with us for a week now so we’re tentatively giving her the run of the house. (She’s been spending nights and workdays in our big guest bathroom.) Last night we left the door open so she could sleep wherever she wanted. She spent some time curled up beside me on the bed but in the morning she got antsy and started clawing the blankets, so I locked her out. She didn’t like that. She hasn’t gotten into any trouble though, and she hasn’t pulled any bookcases down on herself. We may try leaving her out tomorrow during the day.
Oh, and did I mention the scratches? Because I’m covered in them. I made the mistake of pulling on shorts yesterday morning and I regretted it the first time she tried to jump in my lap. Not good. Everyone in the gym’s going to think I’m a battered housewife or something. We headed to the pet store this morning for some nail clippers and a brush, so hopefully we’ll do some much needed grooming today. The Snook also has plans to make her another scratching post, hopefully an ultra-mega tall one that she can really stretch out on. We were going to buy one but they’re expensive! It’ll be cheaper to nail a piece of wood to a board and then buy a premade cover to slip over it.
Aww, man, I’d kill for some Girl Scout cookies, no matter what you call ’em. I love all three of those kinds if anybody’s got some extras. 🙂
Aussie underwear maker Bonds is launching a swimwear line. Cool. I really hope they do an underwire bikini top.

Really excellent. It’s had a Much extended run here so who knows!
Ooh, lovely. I bought the script and read it, but it would have been amazing to see live!
Incidentally we saw Giant last October at the Royal Court (with John Lithgow) which was a fascinating glimpse into Dahl…
