Overrun

I stated in my first post that I would include some cat pics, so I figured now is as good a time as any. Enter Mina and Atticus.

They are brother and sister of the Devon Rex type; Atticus being the larger, grumpier, lazier, older brother and Mina as the small, energetic, annoying, inquisitive, rambunctious bitch of a younger sister. Truthfully I like Mina better; she's a sassy bitch, but she's my sassy bitch. And she keeps to herself. Atticus on the other hand needs constant attention and food, and therefore is willing to nudge, meow, or sit on your face until he gets either one. And he's usually looking for both.

In an attempt to give Mina more places to roam (stay off the fridge bitch) and Atticus any reason to move, I have assisted my lady in creating some shelves around her cozy apartment for them to climb upon. I'm no carpenter, but they do their job and are easy enough to modify for future paint, carpet, toys, etc.

Messy room with nothing for a cat to climb on (hence no cats)

Cat takes notice...

Boom! Cat Paradise

With a little time, a few power tools, some cheap anchors, and a short discussion ('I think it should go here, or maybe here. Should we measure? I don't know, just make it'), we now have a cat paradise! Okay, so we're a little ways from paradise but its a base we can work from, and it is was all done in a single Wednesday evening. 

Speaking of successful week nights, my local broomball team snatched their first 'W' of the season. Nice work SoMo! It's our first year, and although I feel we could have won a previous game it's been super fun and I'm having a blast. 

We have also now instituted 'Movie Night' each Thursday so I don't have to beg to watch movies anymore, and that means you get consistent movie reviews. Up next we'll be tackling Jurassic Park and The Lost World; a pair of movies my lady has written off as a waste of time, but I plan to show her the light. Who doesn't like dinosaurs? Actually apparently most women have little interest in dinosaurs (now or ever in their lifetime) according to my poll of girlfriend and 2 female co-workers. Whatev, I get to choose the first few movies and I choose the FX porn known as JP 1 and 2. (I do own all 3 JP movies, but we won't waste time with number 3 for obvious reasons). I also got a gem from Amazon this week that will definitely be making it into a post in the near future. 

So what do you have planned for your weeknights? Keep 'er easy.
