I feel like Wingy is very much like this cat, if not worse.

Cat Annoys Sleeping Guy All Night – Pogpog.

Spotted these at Target the other day. Is this a tep in a positive direction for Barbie? Yay for promoting girls having a career but then I noticed how traditionally feminine the career dolls were. A school teacher? A nurse? I hope they have other career dolls like scientist, architect, or stock broker Barbie. I think the most disappointing thing were the little thought bubbles… Take a look, decide for yourself.

I just picked up my new Mac Mini today. If you haven’t heard, my poor old lappy has been on the way out — doing things like not being able to play flash stuff and overheating, and crashing up to 8 times a day even! It’s getting replaced with a new Macbook Pro when the next generation is released. In the meantime though, it’s made me realize I need a stable at-home computer, and that’s wehre the Mac Mini came in. It will now manage all vital files/apps and my old macbook will finally get a rest. Phew! Feels nice to have a desktop again.

Yay!

We brought home our new little friend on Friday. Her name is Wingy. She’s a shorthair orange tabby with little white feet. And I swear, she’s got the sweetest little face, and the loudest purr.

So far, she’s enjoyed squeezing herself into many surprisingly small spaces. Some, which I worried about – like the sofabed… yes, IN the sofabed. But now she’s all tuckered out and sleeping next to us on the couch. I like her.

Last night we learned she sleeps like a person. She got into bed with us, under the covers, and fell asleep. She used my arm as a pillow and her two front paws stuck out over the blanket. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that. It was so bizarre. But here are pictures that I did get… and even one short video:

Have you seen this movie?  (Paranormal Activity). Well, if you like scary movies, and haven’t seen it yet, you should do so as soon as possible. But don’t watch it alone. It’s actually scary.

I haven’t been this frazzled by a scary movie since I was around 7 years old and hid in my parents’ lap from Freddy Krueger. This movie was really well done, and I’m kind of impressed that it wasn’t a big budget production either.

Yeah, I watched some Scrubs to get the memories of scary things away. Now it might be time for bed.

is an awesome awesome book. I’m learning a lot.  

I heard this  discussion on NPR this afternoon regarding sidekicks and thought it was pretty special. Here’s the article covering the subject:

Ed McMahon: The Greatest Sidekick of All Time

And it’s fun to make!  Ginzy got this and has made me many tasty tasty cups of coffee with it. Who knew a toy company could make such a good cup of coffee?

She also wrote this book on cadavers, which I highly recommend. Odd subject, I know, but it’s a great read.

Yup. I finally saw it and it’s awesome. I want to watch it again.
