piranha | lameness is me

so my cunning plan for regular, say, weekly LJ updates while i am in monomaniacal work mode is not working. i shall have to endeavour to devise a better plan. other than communication with fellow human beings i am doing great; i even fought off a cold; it got stuck in my throat for a mere 5 days (which was unpleasant, sure, but better than if it had marched on into my sinuses and head). still working all day, every day, and having a blast. this is the longest work streak i've had in years, and i am so happy about it.

in the meantime, i offer some cat pictures to make up for my absence. i finally got some nice shots of persis -- black cats are very hard to photograph. she's settled in completely -- i'll never figure out cat hierarchies; she is the smallest and youngest (albeit no longer a kitten), but she isn't afraid of any of the others; she even chases bacchus when it pleases her. she's getting along with all of them decently; just last week her and cal slept together on the same spot for the first time. only bang remains a little stand-offish, but he no longer hisses everytime he sees her. she sleeps more than the others, but when she's awake, she is also more curious (and less fearful). her favourite sleeping place appears to be on top of the paramour or myself when we are sleeping. she really is like a little familiar -- maybe i should try and get her to ride on my shoulder, *snicker*. she's also started to play; the old shoelace does its magic for this cat as well. cheapest toy ever!

	persis in bacchus's filebox nest just for size comparisons -- this is the lid of a normal filebox. bacchus pretty much fills it. persis ... not so much.
	snoozing on the warm monitor how can one work if there is so much cuteness in the world.
	i'm watching you just to make sure you're not sneaking any chicken into your stomach without sharing.
	wanna play? enough with the cute sleepiness already. onward to cute wakefulness!
