Monday, August 11, 2003 Today I am feeling: hot and annoyed 
Books I am reading: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Freankweiler E. L. Konigsburg Life Everywhere - The Maverick Science of Astrobiology D. Darling Do What You Are - P. Tieger & B. Barron-Tieger Games I am playing: Asheron's Call [online RPG] Asheron's Call 2: Fallen Kings (free trial) [online RPG] Ok, this cat has got me ticked off, first she disappears overnight a couple weeks ago, then the other night, she pops in and says "Hi!" about 1/2 hour before "come inside it's almost dark" time but then disappears, and I can't find her ... it gets dark, finally I find her, on the roof, but she's either playing "Nah, nah, you can't get me!" or she's scared to come down. So I leave her up there, after trying feebly to get her down using a ladder and bribing her with treats. So, about 1/2 hour later I hear a "thump" sound like she makes when she jumps off the roof onto the fence, so I go out and snatch her and put her in her room. Then, a couple days later, she non-chalantly sneaks up on me while I'm calling her ... sans jingle. She has a bell on her collar, mostly to clue birds in she's coming, but it also makes a nifty way for me to find her or know she's coming by followig her jingle. But this time, all of a sudden a little furry cat appeared at my feet. Apparently, she had either lost or removed her collar. So ... now she has no collar (or ID tag or bell.) This means kitty gets to stay inside ALL day even if it is 100 degrees outside. She shoulda known better. But now I gotta make a trip to the pet store and pay too much for one of those "instant" ID tags or else I gotta order one which means kitty gets to stay inside for a week or more. Muhahaha. If it wasn't so damn hot in the house with no A/C I would probably do that. Well, if she didn't tear apart the room that is. So far (and it's only 11:51am) she's ripped my calendar on the wall, torn up one of my textbooks (from last semester, no refund now I guess), ripped a small hole in the bedsheet into a large hole, and swatted her grooming brush behind the dresser where I can't get it without major furniture moving. Can we say "behavior problems"? Hehe do they make training classes for cats? Or psycho-therapy? Poor thing though, she's a wild kitty, loves outdoors and it drives her nutso to be cooped up inside. In other news, I'm taking two more online classes through Barnes & Noble University. One is a find your perfect career kinda thing and one is a writing children's literature class. So, if you were wondering why I'm reading another kiddie book that's why, I got three books from the library, 2 of which were ones I read when I was a kid (Mixed up Files and also A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle) and also a newer one called The Giver by Lois Lowry which I'd started to read before but got distracted by life. I did notice, however, that the "young adult" section of the library is MUCH more sophisticated than when I was a kid. The stories used to be so innocent, about first crushes, or puberty problems or annoying friends; now they're about teen pregnancy and drug addiction and mental illness. No wonder 13 year old girls look 35 now. School starts in 3 weeks and I'm getting antsy. I gotta get back on a normal schedule soon though, no more staying up late till 2 or 3 am, cuz I will have morning classes, and I'll be taking the bus probably cuz I don't wanna hassle with the huge parking problems at the university. Amazingly, I would have to leave home earlier to drive than to take the bus, that doesn't happen very often. Anyway, I gotta go buy a new collar/bell/pet tag for my naughty minion.
