My cat Spooks loves this toy so much it's silly. I don't even have to do anything-- she'll play with it all by herself for like an hour. I should buy a few more. It's so simple too. Rolls of cardboard threaded on some wire. She'll pick it up by one end to carry it, then get freaked out and pounce on the other end when it follows her. So cute!

So it's official. No Colorado for me. I switched my ticket to Texas for Thanksgiving. I'm actually kind of excited about this because I haven't seen my sister in a couple years and I've never been to Texas. Apparently there is Renaissance Festival plans and we might take an overnight trip to San Antonio to see the Alamo and Riverwalk too. *glee* But I'm still kinda sad about not getting to visit loose_pages_sd and tameiki1 in Colorado. :/

No one said it would be consecutive:

day 01 | a song
day 02 | a picture
day 03 | a book/ebook/fanfic
day 04 | a site
day 05 | a youtube clip
day 06 | a quote
day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy

OMG:


( I cut the rest because I love you )


Food, then Target, then TV and editing my Vancouver pics. Hmmm, maybe I should have sorted them before uploading.


Man, the ebook comm must have got tos'd. There was some stuff there I wanted to grab too.

Another scattered post written at various times over the previous week.

( That painting thing )


Hmm, what happened to sanyin? I loved her fanfic. It's a shame it's gone.

Which also reminds me, roundtable recs.


( Work )

( My dad )


tl;dr version: Wow, my life is boring even me.

Ahahaha! My Tinhat, let me showz you it. I was reading friendsfriends and someone was talking about an article in SPIN Magazine... I'm sure you can see where this is going... I almost even clicked on the link before my brain caught on.


Top Five Happy things today:
1) The Supernatural gag reel has been all over lately. After watching, I am slightly embarrassed for the boys! Eeee, who knew I had an embarrassment squick. But destina has a glorious picspam to celebrate the fact that we can all throw away our tinhats now.

2) "The best film of the year is on HBO." I can't wait to see what people have to say after the last part airs tomorrow. I'll actually miss these guys. Or the actors who play these guys. Has anyone read the book? I am tempted to buy it.

3) (This should probably be number one, but I just found out and don't feel like renumbering.) My dad will be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. \o/ He's still got a lot of recovery to do and he'll be on a special diet possibly for at least a year. And he'll have to have more chemo, ( cut for possible squickiness ) But yaye, he'll be out of the hospital! Scribbles (well, Ste, actually) suggested a pedometer and I thought that might be a nice "get well soon" present. Anyone use one of those or have any recs for makes or models? (I'm thinking of this one.)

4) A fic rec that I'm not gonna use at spnroundtable (I try not to recycle other people's recs and this one's been making the rounds recently, but it's a lovely story and you should all go read it.) And the Devil Makes Three by killabeez. A future fic that picks up five years after "All Hell Breaks Loose." A kinda painful fic where Dean has a life after hunting and Sam can't let go. You can really feel the love between the brothers in this one. Sam/Dean, NC17.

5) More Supernatural doujinshi for me!

5a) New pants for $10. I have a coupon which is the best excuse ever to shop!



I have no idea what to make for food this week. Usually I cook one big main dish and eat the leftovers off and on during the week for my dinner breaks, interspersed with takeout and frozen dinners. Last week was taco salad, but I don't know what I want this week. Hmmm, I do have pasta in the freezer and lemon artichoke pesto from Trader Joe's.

Now I should go shower so I can go shopping. Whee! (I am in a much better mood than I was all last week, in case you can't tell.)
