Details of the Day: Showers, Cats, and Fail Whales

  • 01:21 Snoring cats are super-cute. They're quiet enough not to be obnoxious, but who doesn't love a cute flawed thing?

Snoring cats are super-cute.

They are, aren't they?

Especially when they're proper and finicky and graceful and, well, catly when they're awake--and then they start snoring as soon as they fall asleep.

Ze mystique, eet ees gone!

Huh. Interesting. I find that unless I'm scrubbing them or I'm using a lot of water, stuff in the tub gets coated with an amalgam of soap, oil, and mineral deposits that is difficult and annoying to remove. Of course our water and soap are likely different.

cats - :)

twitter - I presume that you've come across this (http://laurel.livejournal.com/1050891.html) post of [livejournal.com profile] laurel's already? I feel that I should say that I'm satisfied with the way that you currently twit to lj.

No, I hadn't--but thanks for pointing it out to me! I have some friends on Twitter who need to be whapped over the head with this....

(And thanks. I try to keep it useful, interesting, or at least optimistic. But I can still make improvements--for one, I didn't know I could flag which posts would be mirrored. That's *useful*.)

You're welcome.

I hope that you keep the time stamps when you're making changes. Knowing how far apart some of the thoughts were helps them make sense to me.

Unrelated - nice new userpics. If you don't mind my asking, why those keywords for 'dark mirror'?

Really? Hmm. I was going to kill the time stamps, but between you and another person's comment, I think I'll let 'em live. ;)

As far as dark mirror, I'm not sure--there's a mirror, and it's dark, but beyond that there's something about the facial expression that fits it. Sorry--the title comes from the same incomprehensible place as most of my writing ideas.
