woodwardiocom-Spent the past weekend catsitting for two friends, Frank & Jodi, who were out of town at a wedding. A little Benadryl made the difference between annoying and entertaining. Two cats, an older one named Midori who mostly likes to sleep and is friendly enough, and a kitten named Murphy who is, how shall I put this, insane. Can climb any vaguely clawable surface like Spider-Man, loves to sit as close as felinely possible to one's mouth, and switches between cuddly and MUST ATTACK! behavior like a stoplight on meth.
-This was in theory a weekend when I would be working on my chapter for an as-yet unannounced GURPS book, and I did get around 2000 words done, which puts me on-schedule but not ahead. F&J's home was just too full of distractions. Frank is exactly like me, if I was a few years older, from New York, slightly more obsessed with action figures and less with anime, and black, while Jodi is exactly like me, if I was shorter, more female, more spiritual, more obsessed with dragons and tLotR, and less obsessed with, eh, gotta go with anime again. So watched Brotherhood of the Wolf (too long, but otherwise cool), Perfect Blue (really creepy but brilliant), and volume two of Battle of the Planets. (The latter two were about half of the anime they own, and almost all of the anime they own but I don't.) Is it just me, or was BotP about absent and/or dead fathers even more than it was about fighting Galactor/Spectra?
