AWWW! KYUTE KITTEH!

Is it yours, or just some random cute kitteh?

[The Dark Monk]

That cat looks absolutely mouth watering.

[shadowfurry23]

Yep, that's my kitten, enjoying my wife's yarn.

She kinda fell out of the sky recently.  Herd some mewling after a party and she wandered onto our deck; couldn't've been more than 2 weeks old.  We made a (admittedly minimal) attempt to see of anyone had lost a kitten, but nope...

She looks very like our other cat, who we adopted on the other side of the continent - they adore each other, and there is much cuteness, and playfighting, and curling up and cleaning each other.  First time I've had a kitten, and it's kinda fun - but my toes are no longer safe.

2 weeks old is INSANELY young. Poor thing is lucky she survived.

My two male cats do this, too. They are adorable.

Me, too!

I will have to get one when I take my cat to live with me. He's never really not had another cat around, so he'd be lonely if I didn't get one. That's my excuse, anyway.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder what happened to her siblings.  :S

I'm willing to bet they were lunch.

Right, so after using the same wallpaper for so long, I decided to change to something from Fallout 3. Unfortunately, I didn't like any of their pre-made wallpapers, so I made my own.

[saturnine]

I like that you were listening to The Ink Spots at the time 



I could has clutter much?

Actually this is relatively clean for my desktop ... but it is due for some sorting. Those Post-Its are as handy as they are ugly.

You have many interesting things on your desktop, saturnine. I'm curious about the "Satanic Death Budget 666".

Just so you know, Laurell K. Hamilton is really good erotic fantasy. Although, if you get into the Anita Blake series, the plot starts going down at about book 8. By book 15, it's like a porno: just enough plot to string the sex scenes together. The Meredith Gentry series hasn't really hit that, though there is more sex in it, in a way, and it's a lot shorter. It's only like 6 books or something so far. I'll get to read the latest one soon because my mom is sending it to me. Gotta love her.

I know that Post-It note that says "For Val:" isn't directed at me, but it made me go O.O and laugh.

What are the Post-Its? Is it a program or something? I'm thinking it would be useful for me to have...

[saturnine]

Ha!   Yeah, I kind of skimmed my desktop before I posted it, like, "is there anything too sensitive on here to post?"

Nope! 

So, "Satanic Death Budget 666" is just my regular old budget. But budgeting is such a fucking difficult and mind-numbing activity for me (I was an English major; I'm actually math-phobic -- it makes me really anxious) that I decided the only way I was going to buckle down and do it was if I actually made it the MOST METAL BUDGET I COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

Behold!



Moral of my budget: KILL YOUR CAR BEFORE IT KILLS YOU.

Thanks for 2nding the Hamilton rec. I can't wait to get all steamy reading some. (You should send me some in the mail -- I promise not to get the pages too dirty!) Right now I've got enough books on my plate to kill a small scrid. I'm currently reading:

The Gypsies by Jan Yoors
Dynamic Anatomy by Burne Hogarth
Tell Me, Pretty Maiden: The Victorian and Edwardian Nude by Ronald Pearsall
S.E.X.: The All-You-Need-To-Know Progressive Sexuality Guide by Heather Corinna
Sex for One by Betty Dodson PhD
Mudraland vol. 1
Herotica vol. 2
Paint it Black by Janet Fitch

Basically, my reading diet consists of sex, violence, and art. I'm still waiting for the gypsies to give me one of those three 

My friend Val is bi and poly like me, and I would have asked her out ages ago if our common link wasn't my ex-girlfriend/roommate. So as it stands, we are wonderful friends, and I am trying to help her regain a sense of sexual confidence and stability after some difficult events. I'm putting together lots of resources on DVDs for her, because she doesn't have internets at home and could really use a sense of community!

Yes, the Post-Its are a program ... I gather that Macs come with something like it pre-loaded. I have mine set to load on startup, and you can make stickies in any color, size, font ... It's really useful if you're a writer like me and are constantly encountering/forgetting useful snippets. I can probably send you the install file if you want!

I would consider it, but I have none of the books. They were all my mom's. I actually only have one pleasure book, and only because a friend sent it to me for my birthday. Couldn't bring my bookcase full because there was no room in the dorm room. I was sad...

Just so you know, the Anita Blake series, much more so than the Meredith Gentry series, fulfills those first two 'requirements'. Possibly the third, if you consider writing an art. 

My friend Val is bi and poly like me, and I would have asked her out ages ago if our common link wasn't my ex-girlfriend/roommate. So as it stands, we are wonderful friends, and I am trying to help her regain a sense of sexual confidence and stability after she was raped. I'm putting together lots of resources on DVDs for her, because she doesn't have internets at home and could really use a sense of community!

A pity she doesn't have internet; you could bring her on here. And why is your common link preventing you from asking her out? I only know of the "Don't go after friend's exes" rule, so unless she's your ex's ex, too... (There's probably more to it than that, and it's probably none of my business. Feel free to ignore that question.)

Damn you, Macs! If I hadn't just gotten a new computer for Christmas, I would so get one... But yes, I would like you to send me the install file, if you have the time and inclination. I can only imagine how cluttered my desktop is about to become...
