Friday Cat Blogging: potted kitteh

on the bed, originally uploaded by rahen z. Rahen Z takes the best “street” cat photos I’ve ever seen, and this one made me all squishy inside.

All podded out

I got my iPod. I’d take a picture of it to prove this, but I also got my work Blackberry this week and last night I was reintroduced to the joys of being on call, so I really can’t be bothered to put in extra effort. I’m only awake now because I’m waiting for my [...]
