I got the best, most wonderful gift from [livejournal.com profile] birdfigment in the mail yesterday!! A while back, there was that meme where one promises to make things for the first five people who commented (Yes, I'm still wavering on what I want to make--but you'll still get something. Once I decide what it is. I was thinking writing, but now I think I should find something less obvious. Or something.).

What she made for me was the cutest hat ever! It's made from fleece and super-soft, and it fits perfectly, and it has kitty-cat ears. The best part is that my shadow now has cat ears. Also, strangers smile at me a lot.

The cats find this a bit strange. The house is frequently cold, so I wore it at home, too. There was sniffing and staring at my head. I told the Mad Scientist this and so he put on the hat. This very much freaked the cats out.

Observers have decided that I now need a really long matching scarf with hand-pockets on the ends, with hand-pockets that have kitty-cat claws on them.

Picture of hat to come in a few weeks, probably (yes, I also need a digital camera).

Conclusions:
1. I have an awesome hat.
2. [livejournal.com profile] birdfigment is fabulous.
3. The cats see me as being more naturally feline than the Mad Scientist.

Poem: "How to Live" by Charles Harper Webb, from Amplified Dog. © Red Hen Press.

Seems like a pretty fine way to live to me. Read in Writer's Almanac newsletter.


How to Live

"I don't know how to live."
–Sharon Olds


Eat lots of steak and salmon and Thai curry and mu shu
pork and fresh green beans and baked potatoes
and fresh strawberries with vanilla ice cream.
Kick-box three days a week. Stay strong and lean.
Go fly-fishing every chance you get, with friends
Rest of the poem. )
