OH! Love!

Schrödinger’s Pawn

Played with two chessboards. With this game, it's possible for a chess piece to be in two spaces at once (a la quantum superposition). And one can then collapse the two positions into one....

OMG I LOVE this bookcase!

Cool. You could totally add an LCD computer monitor that could flip down for you to use, and fold up when you're not using it.

What a great bookshelf!

Hey Kat, how's your healing going? Are you still having much pain?

Not too much. Just occasional twinges. By afternoon it's worse, but that seems to be the story of my life...I feel fine in the morning and by afternoon I feel ragged.

Ibuprofen is my friend.

There's a bit on pet insurance on the Today show...And seriously? It doesn't cover preventive care so what's the point?

They don't cover pre-existing conditions like hip dysplasia, either. I think it's for drastic emergencies like "hit by a car" or other trauma.

My coffee tastes funny. I think maybe that's because I just had some blackberry yogurt, but still. Not good. Blergh.

Julia is home with an assache. Literally. We went to my mother's for Easter dinner. Julia was in the den before dinner, went to sit in mum's desk chair, and somehow pushed it back (it's on wheels), and plopped on the floor, instead. I think she may have bruised her tailbone. Everything looks fine, but she says it hurts her to bend. She was a little ouchy going up over the stairs last night, too. It wasn't a big deal at the time. I didn't even know about the fall 'til she told me, after dinner.

I'm glad it hass eased up, some. Ibuprofen is a good, good friend.

The bookcase is very cool, but misses being my dream bookcase by having the cave at ground level - I always wanted a cosy nook on top of a big bookcase.

I used to* climb trees to get this effect, but they're not very comfortable and carrying more than one book up gets pretty heavy.

*used to includes up through grad school.

That sounds very normal, if not much fun for you.

Oh, yay - someone has put Superthunderstingcar online! (This is Peter Cook & Dudley Moore's unbelievably brilliant Thunderbirds parody. Possibly NSFW in an open plan office if you don't want co-workers asking what you're laughing about.)

OMG I LOVE this bookcase!

If that seat were just a big higher, for older, less limber folk, that would be so perfect. And the ideal cat tree when unoccupied.
