( Fin )I'm so happy I don't feel anything.

Penny's occasional nickname, Destructo-kitty, has suddenly become very appropriate.

Last night I was vacuuming the livingroom.  Unbeknownst to me Penny had unwound a ribbon and hauled it just underneath the couch where it was obscured by the couch skirt.  My very awesome (new) vacuum cleaner's amazing suction power (<3!!!) totally grabbed onto this ribbon, and before I realized what had happened it was hopelessly entangled in the brush mechanism.  There was a significant amount of smoke and my apartment still smells like burnt rubber.  After the smoke cleared I checked everything out, and the vacuum still has suction, but the brushes don't spin.  I honestly don't know if there is a separate motor to control the brush mechanism that may have been damaged by the incident.  But, I'm hoping there is only one motor (cuz if so, I know it works fine) and replacing the belt will fix the problem.  =X  I've only had that vacuum for ~2-3 months.

Then, this morning I got up and did some tidying (don't try to sort clothes in front of a kitten.  Just don't.) before work.  As I was leaving I grabbed my iPod only to discover that something was not quite right. . .



Fail, Kitty!  Fail!  Hopefully copper doesn't give her indigestion.

For those of you who weren't aware, I decided to name the kitten Penny, despite the fact that she responds better to "kittenface" and "Thundercat Hoooo!"

Hey guys!  I need your help naming my new housemate.

I realized the other night that I actually have friends on this account now, so maybe I should actually update. I mean, it's a bit rude to just stalk all of you. Unfortunately, I don't particularly think my life is of any interest to . . . well, anyone.

Example: Today I went to work. Worked like a mad scientist, meaning I didn't eat lunch until I got home at 6ish. (Tassie brought me some peanut butter crackers because she is awesome <3) Eventually, I shall go to sleep. The End.

But, most of my LJ friends are into cosplay, so maybe I'll talk about that?

I'm driving down to Nashicon on Saturday with Tohma. I'm kinda undecided as to who I'd actually bring, but I'm thinking it may end up being Ichimaru Gin (Hueco Mundo version - because I can take off layers as needed if it gets too hot). Hello, breezy hakama! I know a handful of cosplayers who will be there, so it should be really fun. I get to spend some more time with people who I was too shy to really interact with at Katsucon. I'm funny that way - I get so attached to people but then when I see them in person I just feel like I'm crashing a pre-established group. So, I usually end up absconding.
