five things on a Sunday, too.

On the list of things NYC dogs hear that yours probably don't: "no, don't pee on the Czech consulate, darlin'." (the building, not the actual consul. That would have been...unfortunate)

Massive Wind in NYC Saturday night -- this morning's walk revealed a large branch down across the hood of someone's car. On closer inspection it didn't look as though there was any damage, but some poor bastard had a momentary heart attack when they went out for bagels. I hope s/he'd had coffee, first.

Got some work done this weekend, although not enough, due to a combination of Social, Puppy, and actual Pleasure Reading -- I finally finished SPADE AND ARCHER (a 'prequel' to the Maltese Falcon), which was interesting both as a book and a craft-exercise, but didn't blow my socks off. Ate a lot of good food, had some good wine, missed my kittens a lot. If I could pack them in my suitcase for the next few trips.. ok, maybe not.

Speaking of: Pandora is sleeping on mt left hand. Trying to move it results in grab-and-groom, a move she stole from Boomer. Guess she missed me, too. I should go install the new cat perch, but that would require moving both Pandora, and Boomer, who has taken possession of my toes. Therefore, I must Stay Put.

Meanwhile, the Possible New Project now has both a title and a overall universe-name to go with its growing details. The short story due tomorrow still lacks a new title. Also, final revisions. Ooops. Writerbrain is avoidant. Back to it, me...

I managed to finish a fabulous book where one of the major components was how to use magic to investigate crimes. I stayed up reading it until 5:30am before I just couldn't keep going, so getting to finish it was neat. Title = Hard Magic. Can't wait for the next one--it dovetails beautifully with what it already out there about the Cosa Nostradamos, and the characters practically leapt off the page.
Then we went to see Iron Man 2. And I called my mom to wish her a happy Mother's Day.
And I unpacked a few more boxes. Of books.
Bonnie is clearly very motivating.

You could just let them pack themselves? Mine have always been willing to cooperate with that...

Pandora always packs herself where her shedding can do the most damage, and Boomer would need a reinforced frame...

Hee. Big boy, Boomer?

I used to have a pink military-style kitbag (well, I still do; I just don't use it any more), which every time I packed it, the last thing I had to do was reach way down inside and unpack the small warm purry element...

Boomer is 20+ pounds, of which nearly 17 is muscle and bone, not fat, and measures about 3 feet from toes-to-nose, not including rudder, er, tail. He's a puma-wannabe.

Pandora, in the above icon, had just been spotted hiding in the side pocket of my garment bag, before we left for a cruise. She was determined not to be left behind, that time (the bag was about to be left by the door, so she almost made it).
