Cat's Cradle

[blamebrampton]

I realised why the childhood string game is called cat's cradle today.

Last night Cookie was prancing about with a ball of perle cotton in her mouth, feeling very proud of herself for finding such a treasure.

This evening, when I arrived home, there was a network of threads strung about the living room, around pieces of furniture, through the cat tunnel (in three separate passes), and out into the kitchen. In the middle of the mess were two kitties happily chewing on the threads. I don't think I want to weave anything with that thread anymore ... kitty saliva is a bit manky.

In other kitty news, I have worked out how to podcast! So far all of my test pieces end after a few minutes with "Oof! Monster! You cannot eat the headset, and get off my diaphragm!"
"Mroaw?"
"There are no cats in Sansa's fic!"
"MROAWWWW?"
"You are no help."

Oh, I think everyone should get nekkid and rub all over everything. Leave some love juice for blamebrampton to still be finding weeks from now! :D

I'd say it in a bad Essex accent ;-)

Perhaps you'll need to read a cat!animagus fic to give Monster a chance as a voice actress.

I want to add that my niece sent me a CD of her choir, and it's actually moving to hear babies crying in the background (it was a live recording).

Hahaha. Post-it notes! Very effective for household management.

HA! well, I need to figure out the posting section of the plan, so I'll try and put some failed bits up this weekend ;-)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You will probably get your wish, I think I'll put up some bits this weekend. She is on my shoulder now purring thunderously, the muppet!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

you are a GENIUS! She is such a drama queen, the minute I started writing about her, she came and leapt up onto my shoulder. Doofus kitty!

Yay for kitty-cast! I think that could be a regular feature of your LJ. I can't wait for your podcast! I was actually debating recording one of my own as a bit of a humourous gift for Bri - she seems to think I have a soothing kind auntie voice. Clearly, she's never heard my excited screeching or indoor/outdoor voice confusion. lol

Also, how are you?

God, I hope that doesn't mean it'll evolve into some kind of mindlink where you could pick up my stream of consciousness; you'd be scarred for life!

Are you working with a PC or a MAC? Because in case of the latter you'll have to convert your file to an MP3 file. (You can download a free file converter from the Apple widgets page)
You can also very well record your voice with Quicktime (full version). However, I don't know about posting Quicktime audio files.
This podcast thingie I sent my own audio to only takes MP3 files, but it's very simple to use.

The relationship didn't last that long ;-)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thank you! exactly the sort of tips I need! Off to Apple ...

I am knackered! Which is probably a result of not enough sleep. But getting somewhere with the many unfinished projects, albeit slowly.

You should definitely do one, too. Have you heard Leochi's? V cool indeed!

As for giving these little buggers airtime ... they already think they are the centre of the world. If they weren't so cute, they would be gloves!

This is starting to sound like student share housing all over again ...

I am about as psychic as an orange, so you should be safe.

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

I look forward to it! :D Now, I really must dash off to shag Charlie. Or buy a wedding present. Whichever option turns out to be available downtown.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA! I hope both!

[bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't listened to it yet. I will go check it out. Podcast fics are awesome. I could totally get into a whole new level of fic addiction...

[violetage.livejournal.com]

Oh Audacity rocks exceedingly hard. Go you. I doubt I could do it, I am not a good reader alouder. :)

[violetage.livejournal.com]

LOL. They only want to heeeeeulp you!

That was cute :)

You poor thing though, wasted yarn is sad. :/

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

At least it was just a small ball of perle. Monster went trotting through the house with a giant ball of 14-ply NZ merino the other day, four times the size of her head, proudly holding it in her teeth (just). Haven't found it yet ...

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

I don't think you have a choice. What you're doing is a dramatic reading of Sansa's fic, accompanied by a cat chorus. Her meows could serve to punctuate dramatic bits much as a laugh track emphasizes comedy.

I shudder to think what she'll come up with for the sex scenes ...
