I had my ten minutes of fame on Friday, when my three-song set was selected to be the Halloween edition for “My Three Songs” on the Current. (Why, yes, I did select songs about vampires and werewolves. You’re so not surprised, I can tell.)
The return of Standard Time. Close to dark when I get home from work. Kitties convinced I am torturing them by delaying their dinner an hour. Blech.
What Chaos is doing when I’m not home? Or maybe he’s doing something like this?
Check out a more scholarly look at vampire romance than you’ll find ’round here.
Inquiring minds want to know – what is Halloween Nog?!
Besides the many wonderful bloggers I “know” in Jersey (Hi Trek! Hi Van! Hi Chappysmom!), there’s also a bookstore devoted entirely to the paranormal.
Of the feline kind…
*bite bite bite bite bite bite* -Chaos
*hug nip hug nip* -Mayhem
Eeew! Does somebody have dandruff?
Hee, I know Mae surfs the Internet when I’m at work.
Oooo, a case of g/f cookies?! I’m in! The way I’ve been eating lately, it should fit right in to my stellar diet.
I’m going to assume Chaos and Mayhem have cast their vote already?
Chaos, Mayhem! Who won?
Nice round-up of links! Congrats on your 3-song lineup at the Current.
Oh kitties…
LOL! No, that would catnip…
I’m in awe–you got the 3 songs of the day on the Current! Wish I’d heard it.
Kittehs not s’posed to neck!
Chris- A Neil Gaiman autographed knitting pattern? There’s one for my collection.
Happy Election day!
Is it snowing catnip? Cool. Here, we just get that white wet stuff.
glitter for the holidays?
Hmm…I’m guessing that someone’s phone call didn’t go well.
Ha! Cats wrestling in catnip. Now I’ve seen it all!
Glad you cleared that up – thought maybe they’d been rolling in kitty litter…
Kitties and their catnip. I feel a bit of a voyeur.
My dad taught Rip the word, “Wait!” when Rippy didn’t understand daylight savings time changes (or anytime Rippy tried for an early dinner–i.e. everyday). “Wait” was a word Rip did not like, but he understood it. He’d leave off meowing for a whole five minutes after hearing it.
Do you think the person who broke the phone has a problem with listening?
Love the nip covered kitties!!
I’d love to have seen how that happened with the phone.
Thanks for the link, Chris–here’s hoping you get many opportunities to win!
LOL! Chaos and May have a serious catnip problem!
Congrats on your songs being selected!
I know what the ferrets do when I’m late, or just in the other room. They get on my computer, do searches, and send ferret mail.
I was expecting to see Werewolves of London in your set, but I guess that was too obvious. Probably too ancient, too.
Oh – Tinkerbell dust!! All their wishes will come tru now!
I like Deb’s explanation better. Chaos and Mayhem can fly!
. . . wait. No, on second thought, I don’t think that’s such a good idea.
o my. I wonder if my kitties have figured out how to turn on my computer………. for surely they already know how to knock the mouse off onto the floor, and shove it all around
hmmm, off to check my computer’s viewing history now, looking for catnip sites (a sure sign).
