happy chile, kathryn!

we got a new kitty! we called her veronica, after ronnie spektor. like 'just like ronnie sang.' pictures included for comparison. we got her from the peninsula humane society. she is 11 months old and the best kitty in the world. she also looks kind of like muu muu. as my mom has said, 'isn't it amazing that we've had the best cat in the world three times in a row?' it IS pretty incredible, actually.

i uploaded a new album of pictures onto the facebook. there are silly pictures of all of you in it, i'm sure. so go comment, fools.

i started working on the kids book. it's gonna be pretty sweet. i just need to figure out how to sit still for that long and make stuff. when i get into it, it's awesome, but it's hard not to be distracted/unfocused. especially with a new cat. and a freaking comfortable bed. i end up sleeping too much.

it's also raining a lot, but our power hasn't gone out yet. we're going to go to berkeley tomorrow and get indian food anyway. i mean, and do other things too.

so the new year is starting well, if a little lazily. i think i'm going to try to get allie to play some intense cards with me. also, all of the pictures of the cupcakes are on her camera and she's not uploading them. maybe i'll steal it. then you could see more of what's been happening in my life, if you felt so inclined.
