Cats Make Everything Better
[20th Jun, 2007|13:47]
[Tags|, , ]



Last night an abandoned kitten was discovered in the parking lot at work. The cat has been adopted by city hall and now lives in my office since I have the only office with both a door that closes and no motion sensor (it's impossible to access my office without passing though an area the does have a motion sensor).


EDIT 4:14 p.m.: Office kitty has been adopted to a good home and won't be living in city hall after all.

A Short Example on How To Get People to Look at You Like You Just Sprouted a Second Head with the Effective Use of Obscure Trivia

Today I was attending a meeting in Port Moody city hall's Brovold Room, which if you look at the icon with this post, is the room in the circular tower over city hall. The room has a balcony most of the way around it. Before the meeting officially started I was chatting with some co-workers about how the balcony is under-utilized. My suggestion of cat-flinging came, apparently, from somewhere outside the realm of common knowledge.

Ode to [info]tharsis in Honour of his Birthday
[12th Apr, 2006|10:00]
[Tags|, ]

His claws are long and his fangs are fearsome
— Even mighty squirrels won't come near him.
The survey says (and we agree)
That weiner dogs best let him be.

With voiciferous song he lets us know
Whenever the kibble is running low.
He has burly arms and skookum frame.
When you're [info]tharsis everything's a game.

There's hiding and chasing and running,
And summer sun balcony sunning,
Morning treats and bedtime wuzzles,
And tickling [info]_jazz_'s feet when he really wants trouble.

So let the bells ring out and the trumpets play,
For [info]tharsis is eight years old today.
Born on Easter 1998
No other cat is near as great.

TTL-BlitzKabel für BlitzSchuh

[Current Mood | excited]

A new bit of gear I won on eBay arrived today, just in time for the Red Chair shoot:


It's a cable that allows me to use the flash up to five feet away from the camera. This gives me all sorts of improved lighting possibilities.

Of course the cats were conscripted as test subjects:


Meep.


We are not amused.

More animal testing )
