Waiting

[bloodyrosemccoy]

So I broke down crying tonight because Charlie continues not to be around. It’s possible she’s just taken off till the emotions blow over, and she’ll be back at some point, but it’s also quite likely that my rather stupid cat went and got herself et or blowed up or something.

And tonight it became apparent that the uncertainty is stressing me out just a tad.

I’m always surprsied at how physical distress is—I kind of feel like vampires got me. I’m mostly sitting around aimlessly watching MST3k and doing logic puzzles, although sometimes I’ll summon the energy to ruin some sci-fi or do some art or something.* Not very exciting, but I think I need a little bit of a break from the world again.

That’s the plan, anyway. With luck this funk will either end with the return of the cat, or my graceful acceptance of her absence as I also attempt to gracefully accept my uncle’s absence. I just hope that ends soon. I hate being sad.


*When I get back to the sewing thing again, there will be a few new outfits for Daja. And I will also have some questions for you folks about a project I’m toying with …

To be the bearer of grim possibilities

I really hate to do this, but I figure it's best you to know that cats sometimes have the tendency to wander off before they die. My cat, before he was put to sleep, disappeared for a couple of days. When he came back, he was in real bad shape. Now I really, really, really hope Charlie isn't like my cat, KC. I hope everything works out for the best. I really do. I hope maybe she's lost and someone will return her. Have you tried Lost Kitty postings on CraigsList?

Sorry to be an ass about that. :/

On brighter notes, what project would that be? Knowing you, I bet its interesting.

RiffTrax live is coming to Portland in a couple of days. Maybe they'll be in your area soon, too. Might be a good distraction.

I had considered this feline tendency as one possibility--Desmond Morris addressed it in one of his cat books. There's been a lot of romanticizing about cats going off to die, but Morris points out, rather unfortunately, that it's probably just the cat trying to hide from whatever is ailing it. (Cats are stupid.)

As far as I know, though, Charlie was pretty healthy. My best guess is that she was scared by a thunderstorm and ran away from THAT, and got lost. Either way, she's still not back, which sucks, but I'm starting to get used to the idea that she might be Gone Foreverz.

I'll be watching the August 19th live Rifftrax (and hell, I entered the contest to win an iPad, because why not). Should be a good distraction, yes!

I will let you know about the project once I get it viable! At this point it has hit a setback, in the form of Not Enough Of One Thing I Need. We will fix that soon enough!

I hope you find enough and a little extra of that one thing you need. If it's what I'm thinking, I'm massively short on it as well. hooray going back to school for a completely different Bachelor's degree!

I guess there's another showing on the 24th for Rifftrax, too. I've only seen one RIfftrax, and it was at your house. I forgot what it was for.

I also remember watching some sort of Korean or Japanese horror movie about a mutant fish. I liked that movie. Cheesy, but I want to watch it again.
