we had snow, starting friday night. it was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season. big white fluffy flakes. [its all gone now, of course.]
i would like to recommend the hot chocolate at Pasquini's [32nd & Zuni]. but make sure you order it from the nice guy with the dreads. were talking late cup of very good hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, choc. syrup and carmel. if you are, or are with a cute girl, let her order first. you are more likely to actually get this version of the coco.
I turn 25 on Sunday. its wednesday and i havent sent out birthday plans to anyone. still not really sure what i want to do. prolly i should just pick a restaront and call it good.

KITTENS!
So, i got Kabuki last night.
She is happy and purring and eating and exploring. she has not been introduced to the other cats yet, but is desperate to explore the rest of the house.
little orange kitten didn't come home with us. we got to the shelter and he had an upper respiratory infection, so we left him there to be treated. hopefully we will be able to bring him home in 10 days or so.

omgkittens!!!111
YEA! i'm getting Kitties for my bday!
...yes.. you heard right... plural kitties...
we have now crossed, very quickly over the boundary from "people with a cat or 2" to "crazy cat people."
see... we have looked at a lot of kittens in the past week, [and ill tell you i was not impressed with Dumb Friends League] and I found a place called the Rocky Mt. Alley Cat Alliance. these people work to spay/neuter stray cats. some are release back and some are kept, rehabilitated and adopted out to loving family's.
you can go by the main office- which unfortunately, most of the kittens were in quarantine for 2 weeks, to get re-tested for feline leukemia. I really did not want to fall in love, and wait for a kitten, only to lean that it was sick. how ever, they also had other cats at a local pet boutique.
there we found 2 yr old all black girl. and a 10 week old orange kitten. - there were also at least 2 other cats that we loved.. but Jesus, we just cant take 4.
so we are waiting for our adoption papers to go through, and hopefully we will have 2 new kitties to add the the bunch.

color coordinating
many days on my way to work i see this little old Asian woman walking up The Hill. and every day shoe has a different, completely color coordinated head to toe outfit.
i have been meaning to keep track of what she wears for a while now. i post now, what she was wearing today, and we'll see if i ever post about it again.
today: tan sherling hat, tan purse, tan pants, brown fur jacket- and i didn't see her shoes.

get me the fuck out of here, or give me somethign to do.
man, nothing riles me up like being left out.
its not that i expect to know everything- but i feel that myself and others should get some credit where its due.
also, don't tell me that your swamped with work- but don't want any help, only to complain later that your swamped and that no one is offering to help, when clearly they aren't doing anything.
and don't act like I'm "growing" and that my presence is "valued" when you don't intend to show me that in anyway. don't make false promises to me. don't tell me I'm "moving up" and then take away all responsibility.
i am on my knees, begging for projects, involvement, learning and responsibility. i get a smile and a pat on the back in return.
i wonder if i'll make it through the holidays before they let me go. nothing builds resentment and dis trust like ignoring someone.
if they're doing something wrong, sit them down, and set it strait. if they're doing a good job, then reward them.

test...
Your result for The Camelot Test...
Lancelot
Honourable and passionate. You never back down from a challenge. Your friends are very important to you. You believe in justice and duty far above your own personal security and comfort.
Congratulations! This was the most challenging result to get. You are one of a kind.

"advanced people skills a must"
when looking at job requirements, what does the phrase: "Advanced people skills a must" mean?
based on experience, i would say it means dealing with bitchy, difficult people. maybe my experience is just full of bitchy difficult people. i dont know.

insite
I was watching Globe Trekker on PBS the other night. This is one of my all time favorite travel shows. usually the young people have a rout they are going to take- off the beaten path- with some sleeping arrangements made ahead of time. they carrie their own bag, have a set amount of money [i presume] and maybe a bicycle, or use the public transport.
last week they went to Peru, to some festival or another at the top of the Andies. [this is where i'm too lazy to check google, and hope to god that what poped into my head is the correct mt. range, on the correct content.] Like most festivals there was dancing and music, etc. what was really intresting though, was the masks worn instead of paint. they look very simalar to the freaky clown mask i posted a few entries down. in that setting, not trying to be clowns, and in all seriousness, the maskes were very intresting.
this new insite, does not, infact, make the knitted clown mask below any less terrifying.

fonts
there are days when i am terribly disappointed in the world.
this morning is one of them.
no one has made a Ric-Rac font. so very sad.
on the plus side, i did find a font called "faeries wear boots"

holly shit, its November already
is it wrong to think, in this day and age, that "Meriwether" is a good name for a child?
i was behind a truck today, whose badges stated that it was the "big horn edition."

i....have to share this with you...
Sleek Cat Hideaway
The cats I've owned have always appreciated a snug hide-away. They've made holes so that they could sleep in the bottom of my box spring, climbed into a washing machine full of dirty clothes, and made a nest on my computer keyboard.
This under-chair cat hide-away is the perfect example of beautiful, functional, cat-inspired design. It was made by Gabriel Sierra of San Juan. You can see more of his work at Designboom.

O-B-A-M-A
We went to the Obama Rally Sunday morning. they said 25,000 were expected. later reports were saying more like 100,000 people attended.
we couldn't see anything. when Obama came on, some people had shifted- Tim said he could see him occasionally... the same way you can see a friend across a football stadium- tiny stick figure blob mostly. He came on an hour late. i couldn't really hear him. i heard "change" and a couple other words occasionally. but that's it.
Still, we were there.
afterwords we bee lined to Pints Pub for some warming up and beer. we beat the rush, and both ordered things that needed nothing more than warming up.
admittedly it was not a terribly productive day. thought i got to see High School Musical III. it was ...not worth the $8- but i would have watched it on TV.
Tim was saved by having people over to watch a movie about Wear Sheep. yea. he was happy.

growing up
i'm going to blame society. because we all know that its important to put the blame on something- anything as long as its not yourself and society is nice and big a vague.
you send the first 20 some odd years with a direct path to follow. you will go to school. you will pick a college, and a major [theoretically], the goal from there is to get a job in your chosen field.
check, check and check. Ok. Great, now what?
fall in love, get married, find a home, get a pet, have some kids.
check, check, check, check and.... wait, were not ready for kids yet.
ok. so now i'm 25 [almost] i have a job- but i'm board..and now what. now there is a mind boggling amount of unplanned vastness in my future and i don't have the damdest idea what i want.
i'm tired of my job. its a terrible time to change jobs- overall economy wise. i'm worried and afraid of everything from foreclosure to the lawn never being weed free. i feel like i don't have nearly enough time in the day to do remotely everything i want to do and feel that work takes up way too much time, when i could being doing something enjoyable.
sigh....vent.....sigh.
talking about things helps- but also getting things written down makes a big difference too. things are a lot less scary when they stop swimming around in your head.

sappy
Americas got talent.
horrible show. we've cought bits and pieces of it this season. mostly horrible acts trying to make it big. but there is some actual talent mingled in there.
to night was the finally. 1 million dollars and a stint in Veges. as we all know by now and one in the top 5 will get a carrier out of it. or at least an initial contract.
i watched. i cried. cried through the whole thing. as cheese as it is, these people are living their dream. a chance in a million life times.
prolly in a month or 2 they will be less humble. prolly some diva will set in. but for those few moments cought on tape they are in total aw of what is happening to their life.
the top 2 guys are both great. both seem like the nice guys who are just trying to "make it." people you would want to be friends with.
congratulations to everyone out there who have ever made their dream come true.
