Just prepping.

Later today, Watson and I will be having a serious talk about laptop boundaries.

Above anything else, I so wish I was better at making poached eggs.*. *join me for other deep, personal revelations as the week unfolds

We're now in the winter period I call Cat Sleep Deprivation Time. If you're a fellow CSDT sufferer, it involves said cat waking you up throughout the night due to its overwhelming frustration of not liking rain/cold but also needing seven tons of food each night. For five months.

Perhaps it's time this happened (signifying the beginning of the end of social media)? But, actually, if the last tech guy leaving the X building could just leave a small battery on to power the platform for ten years we could have it to ourselves.

Yes, very much this. A certain straight-to-the-point brutality in storytelling for children is often necessary to match the emotional intensity (and no-holds-barred approach) of being that age.

I find these missing cat stories to be both traumatic and wonderful from a human perspective (Watson went missing for 8 weeks once), whereas I suspect from the cat's pov it's more "oh hey guys, I'm back, went out for a bit, how many Dreamies did I miss?".

RT @buitengebieden: A little smile for your timeline. 😊
