EW!

Three things I have:
* A sofa with high arms.
* A lovely but naughty Monster cat who likes to sit on the arms and back of the sofa.
* Rather long hair.

Some of you will have guessed what happens next.

Mon often reaches out to bunt the back of my head and demand chin scratching. Sometimes she just leans her head against the back of mine and purrs at me, or leans out and clambers onto me for a cuddle. Tonight she was sitting behind me having a good old groom. Then I went to stand up. My hair was caught, I assumed she was sitting on some of it. Oh no.

She had swallowed 18 inches of a lock.

Cat digestive juices ... ew! Thank goodness it's hair washing night!

Oh, wow! All the machinery's ganging up on me again! VYVYAN!

Darling! Tried to put together a picspam post including images of the girls wearing their lovely woolies, but my camera (so recently rediscovered!) is now haivng issues with the memory card. I had assumed that, my camera and Blondie's defunct one both being Kodak EasyShares of similar vintage that I would just be able to take his memory card and put it in my camera. Alas! My camera claims that the pictures I took are on the memory card, but when I put the card into the computer, the computer says 'Nope! No new pictures here, only the streaky, oddly coloured pictures you took on the dying camera last week!" It is all very strange, and if this comment makes no sense we shall have to blame the half a bottle of chardonnay I just drank in an effort to get [livejournal.com profile] remuslives23's rather overdue birthday ficlet rewritten (dear eccentric netbook just ate a whole's day's work on it!).

I must stop thinking about that [livejournal.com profile] merlin_muses prompt and write my [livejournal.com profile] hd_fan_fair fic instead!

There's probably a hamster in it!

As to the eccentric eatings, did you check your recent files to see if it was accidentally saved as something else? I had a computer that used to do that now and then!

Leave Merlin for a week or two! It will write itself! or we can do it together over IM ;-)

So, it looks like you've signed up for three fests during your festless period, right? *offers cookies of solidarity* Me, too! ;)

It was like that bit in Alice Through The Looking Glass, when Alice is in the Looking Glass Garden and no matter how hard she tries to reach the hill she just keeps walking in at the back door! o.O

I am now banking on not making the hols lottery, and on my muses fic writing itself...

I am SO superior. I only signed up for one.

Travel fair, for I am weak. I am going to help Treacle with her Merlin fic, though, we have shared friends who we need to vent about!

Oh, Travel fair... Yes, I signed up for that, too... I already forgot to worry about it, I've signed up for lots of other fests since... *drumroll headdesk*

I should try smaller objectives, I think. Say, endure one week without signing up for anything ELSE and have a cookie!
