Today’s translation of “random” post: “Hey, look! Pictures!”
Mel, wondering why I kept shining lights in his face. (Mostly the autofocus thingy.)
Oscar, one of the cats I’m co-catsitting for Min.
Felix “pretending to be cute”, as Min put it.
Mel, far enough away from the camera that it’s not disturbing him. (This was a couple of weeks ago, when it was cooler.)
Knitting! I’m making good progress on my sunflower shawl, thanks to the knitters’ housewarming I attended on Saturday and the Momix show I attended on Sunday. (Yes, it’s tricky to knit lace in a dark theater, but I only made one mistake. And I was exhausted, so the fidgeting helped counteract the darkness-with-soothing-music. It helped that I was on the aisle, so I could use the emergency lights in the stairs to read my (backlit) stitches.) Please pretend I vacuumed before taking that photo. I meant to, but I couldn’t bear to disturb Mel, who was napping peacefully a couple feet away.

And on my way to Min’s yesterday evening, I stopped at the pet-supply store, mostly to ask about the cat-for-adoption (from a local rescue org) whom I hadn’t seen recently (he’s been adopted, and seems to have taken to his new family quite nicely). I wound up chatting with the storekeeper, though, because she asked about my Mirah shirt, and whether it meant I was going to Mirah’s show at the Unitarian Church next month. I’ve now checked the R5 show listings, and I’ve found two I want to attend: Mirah, even though she’ll be here the Monday after I move, and Stars. I’m sorta happy and sorta frustrated, since I haven’t had lots of spare energy lately even without concerts… (Also, I wish they were at World Cafe Live instead of the Church. I like being able to sit at shows–it means I can see better, and it means I can knit more easily. And WCL has better (i.e., palpable) air conditioning.)
