ION, I am awake, showered, and have eaten blueberry pancakes for breakfast (thanks, smonster, for the inspiration!) I worked up a sweat just getting dressed and putting on a load of laundry. Is gonna be a warm day today.

Waiting for word from our friends from Austin, one of whom we haven't seen for like a year plus. (but her husband was the guy who videotaped me around town during the early days of Mardi Gras a couple of months ago.)

I am still recovering from the last couple days of Vortex & Co. whirlwind, I tell you what.

I am not doing anything I am supposed to be doing. This is because I don't want to do the most important thing, and everything else is backed up behind that.

Maybe I'll go see Avengers again. I haven't seen it in 2D yet.

I joined Tumblr. I didn't really mean to, I just wanted to comment on a thing. I don't understand how to navigate through this person's tumblr blog thing. It doesn't seem to be linear. I want to be able to just click on Next and get the next thing! This means I'm old, doesn't it? Everyone else on tumblr seems to be a teenager. I was reading someone's review of Avengers and then she said she had to convince her dad to give her more money so she could see it again, and I almost wept.

I should be working.

It's a beautiful day. I should go outside.

I would weep.

You can do that on tumblr, unless someone's adopted a theme that doesn't work with your browser. I've stumbled on a couple of those, but it's like a 1% sort of a thing.

Indoor destruction starts at my house next week, as I have two very small rooms knocked together into a larger room with a closet that is larger than a refrigerator. I'm stoked, but also kind of nervous about one thing in particular.

My worry is the cat, and how he'll handle everything. I have an offer to relocate to my mom's house during the worst of things, and I'm wondering if that will be easier on him than dealing with the upset and chaos in the house. The poor little guy is nearly 14, and like most cats, he hates having his routine disrupted.

Zen, there are a few grown-ass adults on Tumblr. Every once in a while there'll be a "grown-ups represent" post that gets reblogged.

Oh, I found it! It's in tiny tiny type at the very bottom. Asshole, make your fucking blog thing usable.

Yes. Or we make other posts gently mocking the infants.

Anne, that's a tough question. It is hard to guess which would be more annoying to the cat. I think mine would rather stay with construction than go on a vacation. She hates travel. Would you be able to keep him out of the construction zone?
