Where's the love for the ferret?

Have you missed me? It's only been a month since I've posted anything. Barely kept up with the flist either. Lots of stuff have gone down. Been sick. Almost had a nervous breakdown (possibly due to bening sick). Been completely sucked into Big Brother UK (and it's fair to say that these two are a good part of that. It doesn't hurt that the male half looks like this plus an Australian accent to boot! And trust me, their dramas could give soap operas a run for their money.) And then there's what I did Thursday day night (if you follow my Twitter you know what I did) but more on that later. I have pictures to catch up with! There will be kitties as that's mainly what I've taken pictures of.

We bug bombed the house a few weeks ago so the kitties went to visit the office and explored. Cassie made herself comfortable.


Be back later with another pic!

On Thursday I kept hearing this tweeting outside the window in my living room. Finally I went to the door to see where it was coming from. I discovered it was outside the window where I was sitting! This is what I found:



It probably sat there, happily chirping away for an hour or so. You can tell it's still a baby because of the downy feathers on it (which you can see by clicking for the full size). My mom saw the mama yesterday and said she was huge.

( Bonus!Grey )

The New York Times Photo Blog had this thing that kalleah brought to my attention. The info is here. Basically, then wanted you to take a picture of what was happening wherever you were in the world at the same exact moment. They go many more entries than expected but eventually they will have a mosaic of all the photos but not quite yet. I thought it appropriate to use my entry for my pic this week.

This happened at 11:00 AM at my house this past Sunday. (Click for the full size!)


Side note: I have yet to stop being amused by the fact the kitten in my icon and the Kitten Virtual Gift look just like Grey.

I've had a terrible couple of weeks. Culminating in hitting a severe wall while out and about today (all kinds of ailments including exhaustion, heart pain, queasiness,pain, and some other things I won't share here; a little better now)As such I've missed a picture post. I'll post two (of Cassie) in this one to make up for it.

First, I give you how I feel about the past two weeks: Cassie sticking out her tongue at the injustices of world:


( And another behind the cut just to be saucy )

To sum up, if you feel so inclined, I wouldn't mind efforts to cheer me up/make me feel better/forget about the bad that has befallen me.

As the Sinus Infection O' Doom reaches week 8, I've done nothing of note to take pictures of. And as we only got two inches of snow, it hardly compares to what those of you who got hit, got hit with. And so, you get a sleeping kitty instead.

Grey conked out next to me last night. When he woke up, he had to be helped up as there was a bit of flailing involved on his part.

I missed last weeks Pic-a-Week post as errands and general exhausting happened. Yes, I'm now at the month and half mark of the Sinus Infection of Doom! Went back to the doctor this week and am now on my third antibiotic (which can also be used in preventing or slowing exposure to anthrax). My doctor (Dr. Smith, hee!) said the next step will be to take me out and shoot me.

All that to say this: You'll be getting two posts today. And yes, one will be kitty-riffic.

This one, not as much. This about a book I recently purchased and read (rather quickly). It's the smuttiest thing I've ever read but still had plot! The book was this (click to make bigger):


This author has also done versions of The Phantom of the Opera and The Count of Monte Cristo. I have (but not read) the Phantom one and this one was cheap and I needed to round out an Amazon order.

But what really caught my eye was when I actually got the book. This is the dedication page:

Needless to say, I liked the ending.
