Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!

I don’t think I can ever say enough just how much I love cats. I’m sure I’ll be singing their praises until I die. And you know, it’s not just my own cat that I love (though I do love him considerably more than any other cat that exists) but all of them (give or take a few). The last three days, as they’ve been so unbelievably nice, and not too hot, I’ve spent a large amount of my time outside on my Mom’s lawn chair, and during this time I’ve had many cats with me. The one who has been most loyal and has spent the most time with me is, of course, Sid. He’s willing to sleep at my feet on the lawn chair as long as I’ll let him (or until my own cat comes and chases him off, because Tobi is quite the bully). Right now I’ve got Sid, Timmy and Tobi with me, and it’s really nice. This is why I love cats, they like to be with you, but they’re not all over you all the time, for them it’s nice enough just to be in your presence, and the feeling to me is mutual. What wonderful creatures they are!
I thought I would come over here and tell you all this for a few reasons. Reason 1) is because I really love cats and I want everyone to know about it, reason 2) is because I’ve let a lot of time lapse since my last blog post and reason 3) is because I’m stalling. You see all day yesterday I spent finishing Crime and Punishment (which ended perfectly by the way, giving it high marks in my opinion) and I was going to do some writing after that but then I went on a walk with Mom and when I got back out on the lawn chair the mosquitos were trying to suck all my lifeblood away from me, and I really couldn’t have that happen. Then I just let myself get distracted for the rest of the evening, deciding I would do my writing today. And now it’s today, and I’m stalling. Story of my life.
And now before I go I have a couple of little bits of knowledge to share with you.
One) I got the new mewithoutYou cd, and while very different from their previous albums, it is wholly amazing, and I am particularly in love with the song ‘the King Beetle on a Coconut Estate’, it’s beautiful, and I mean that in every possible sense of the word.
Two) I have in fact finished Crime and Punishment and I’m so unbelievably pleased with the way it ended. I really had no hopes of it having a happy ending, but it really did, and I’m so glad.
Three) Now that C&P is finished I can officially begin my summer Reading List. I’ve already ordered the first three books from the library (Of Mice and Men, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) and I hope to pick them up as soon as possible.
Four) I will likely be posting something very soon on Apricotpie, as I’ve finished something I’ve sort of but not really been working on for a month, which means I started it a month ago and then just finished it the other night.
Five) That is all, thank you.
