Life here is simply scintillating

About 30 minutes ago I dropped a pomegranate seed. I quickly scurried to find it--I'm told pomegranate juice stains permanently--but I never did. Not inside the chair or on the floor or in my lap. It was just...gone. I was starting to think that perhaps I hadn't dropped it at all, that it had fallen into my mouth or back into the bowl. And then, a minute ago, I located the seed. It was in my bra. It's really too bad this week's Photo Friday theme isn't "E is for--." E is for Embarrassing.

Every 30 minutes or so an ant crawls across my laptop screen. My location is irrelevant--at the table, in the lounge chair, on the sofa. I haven't seen ants IN any of these places. Is it possible that there an ant colony IN MY LAPTOP?

Chapin the Cat is asking for food almost constantly these days. I typically feed him twice a day, but lately he eats most of what's in his bowl quickly and immediately starts begging for more. I only indulge him at night because I don't want him to wake me at 2 in the morning asking for a refill. As one might expect, he seems to be growing. And growing. And God, is he growing. Have I ever mentioned how huge he is to begin with? It's like one of those bad Japanese films from the 50s about nuclear experiments gone awry--anybody ever seen "Mothra"? I've got freaking Catra living in my house.
