For ’80s Night, oh yeah!

Now we look like superheroes! We have rad powers of Bowie and friendship.

My sister Kayla was here for 11 days and although I was sick off and on we still had a nice visit. Every day was a cuddlefest! We tried to make her very dark brown-with-some-black-leftover-in-it hair

blonde for summer, and the result is that now we both have anime hair. Hurray!

Heather’s birthday was last Sunday and we went to Senor Moose for a delicious Mexican brunch! I took a few pictures which now live in the Friends section of Photos. Some are before while we waited for a table and then there are a couple after we ate. I guess I got too excited about the food and company to remember to take pictures during the event. But oh well! I am so happy Heather was born! Yay!

I had a silly mishap with one of those push-style motorized scooters where I managed to run into my own leg with the durn thing and now I have a totally badass bruise! It has only gotten better–and by that I most likely mean “grosser”–with time.

Also in the Friends section there’s some pics of a trip we took to Kubota Gardens (at the beginning of the month?). So many fun times!

I had my birthday too and it was a good one for the first time in many years. There aren’t any pictures though because come on, let’s take these things one step at a time. Anyway, now I’m older I guess. The same age as my mom was when I was born, which is a little weird.

Instead of pondering the universe in search of insights and meaningful joy, I’ve been working a lot, taking a kind-of-stupid class, and getting chemicals put on my head.

Heather has been staying with us for a couple weeks while in-between apartments. It’s been pretty low key, and really she hasn’t been around much, so the most exciting houseguest goings-on have been cat related, for she has two of them.

This is Marigold. She is a voracious lover, possibly autistic, and has either cat-pica or an oral fixation.

This is Toast. His hind quarters are fully grown but his front half is still all kitten. He likes looking at things and being a brat.

This is a video of Toast chasing his tail after taking a bath. I guess he didn’t recognize it in its totally-not-fluffy state? I don’t know, but this went on for entirely too long. It’s a gigantic file so be warned! (I’m trying to figure out how to make this smaller and maybe streamable? We’ll see. . .)

Kitty cats are so badass!
