When you have the right audience, dead parent humor is the best. For example, I am going to buy myself this shirt (or a version of it) at some point

5am. Yet a different cat made an appearance. This one sat at the crossroads of all 4 houses.
Is word getting out that Harvey is fun to troll?

Not sure if I am being blessed by the cat distribution system or if the universe has decided to troll H.
On Wednesday, my sister was over but I was in the office. J sent me a text telling me H has a friend and sent this pic:

There is a storm coming so I am posting this from bed, having been herded into the bedroom and bossed into closing the blinds to make to room dark. Harvey is currently crouched at my feet, ready to protect me and headbutt my feet when I’m allowed to get up again.

This dingleberry’s “proof” of how he came to the number of 5-10% of Star Trek fans being women. His complete lack of comprehension is hilarious.
Also, if you manage to get through all his blathering down to the end of the article, he says he grew up on “real” Trek. What a dipshit.

WT has a powerlifting comp next week so is currently in the final stages of prep. In order to do this she has to drink 4.5 litres of water today and is still avoiding most carbs.

Day 13: a book with a colour in the title
A few years ago I got it in my head to read Toni Morrison’s novels in order of publication. Then life happened. I will get back to it but in the meantime, I find this randomly pops into my head at the oddest moments.

Day 12: a “popular” book you hate
Oh I wish this weren’t so easy. I tried twice to read this and never got very far as I found all the pop culture references to be distracting and condescending.

It’s that time of year when the morning sun is hitting some of Harvey’s fave places to snooze.
I gotta move some of the shoes out of his way (not all of them, he does have a shoe fetish after all) so he can spread out a bit more.
And vacuum. I desperately need to vacuum.

Day 11: literary character you want to have dinner (or drinks!) with
This is a two for the price of one deal: Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin. They’d tell some awesome stories (once you could coax them out of them), and if you were at The Treadmill, you might get to see them practice.
