Natter 39 and Holding
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Laura, I hope it turns out to be nothing. Or at most a wimpy rainstorm.
The cat decided to use me as a springboard, with claws, at 5:13 am. Then I had a hard time falling back to sleep. Then I had ooky dreams. Around 6 I woke myself up laughing because in my dreams I was having ooky dreams and thought I really needed something to laugh at. And so something was provided (now that I remember, it wasn't funny. It was a bottle of handlotion) and I laughed in the dream dream (still following?) and that made me laugh in my dream and it woke me up again.
What in the
hell
did I ingest yesterday?
My cat decided to suck on my sleeve and knead my arm at 3:00 am. I do not quite know what to do about the sucking habit. Websites say it is a comfort for the kitty, but frankly, the kneading hurts. The suggestion is to get the kitty to knead something other than me, but I am sure warm arm feels better to knead than blanket.
I never went back to sleep, even after kicking the cat out of the room.
{{Zmayhems}} Passes extra soft and fragrant tissues.
Happy day to Calli and Burrell!
On Monday, Wilma became the season's 21st named storm, tying the seasonal record first set in 1933.
Holy moly. But I have a question: if it's the 21st named storm, how come it starts with the 23rd letter of the alphabet? Shouldn't it be Hurricane Uma?
Sophia, a friend of mine has a cat with the sucking/kneading issue. He started out especially liking knits, so if you weren't paying attention, you'd end up with cat slobber spots on your tshirts. They eventually found out he liked fleece even more than tshirt/people and got him his own, so whenever he starts up, they throw the fleece at him and he's diverted.
I tell them at least he doesn't hump them.
I hope the Zmayhems get unsick soon.
Shouldn't it be Hurricane Uma?
I believe they skip U, X, Y, and Z. And possibly Q. Pity. If we had to have this many hurricanes in a season, the least they could do would be to name one "Xena". Or "Zod". I'm not picky.
They skip q, u, x, y, and z in the naming scheme.
(Hugely x-posty, natch. Or should that be alpha-posty, since the alphabet ends after W.)
(Leading me to wonder, does the world?)
And super-lamely, the next one would be Alpha. Why not Aaron? And then, um Bbob.
Sophia Brooks - my cat used to do that. But she'd only suck my neck. I've no idea. She'd go nuts over it.
And then she jumped out the window of my flat.
