Kittysitting part 2: Finding time to play

By Uncategorized No Comments

Allis! There’s a mouse on the floor behind you!

Cats seem to be pretty good at fitting in playtime. Allis and I had a great game of mouse this evening. I really like it when she rushes over to a corner wall before me to indicate how/where she’d like to play next.

Kitty Hi also had some playtime, taking a moment in our after-work walk to juggle a few autumn leaves that had gotten him feral.

And now it’s my turn. It is Friday after a long week, so I am looking forward to some gaming tonight. I haven’t decided yet what to pick up: I’ve been running a Bukkit Minecraft server lately, been known to delve quite a bit into World of Warcraft, and Civilization is always a good call for nerd night. I wonder what else is out there nowadays…

Allis has finished her munch.

Kittysitting part 1: Allis Chalmers

Meet Miss Allis Chalmers. I’ll be hanging out periodically with this fine feline over the next two weeks, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a series of quick entries while visiting her. I’m taking the time while she chomps some dinner to post an update each night.

Allis is a very soft and friendly animal who likes to touch noses and play with toys.

Today I mainly worked on picking up a few computer part upgrades. I have settled on the i7 3770K chip and I am still figuring out the version of the Asus Z77 [P8Z77-V or the Sabertooth] board. Any thoughts out there on piecing together a new pc?

Also watched a great NFB film, Being Caribou, in one browser window while researching the computer parts in another. That led to a silent, black and white film Beaver People, about beavers, Grey Owl, and his lady friend. It is really cute watching the beaver play wrestle.

Allis is done eating.
