y'all I took a week off work and I did not REALISE how badly I needed that, but also I probably actually needed two weeks. Tragically: staffing. BUT IT WAS A VERY GOOD WEEK OFF. I: broke my sleep schedule entirely!; napped so, so much; brushed the cat; brushed the cat; brushed the cat; oh my god how does she still want more brushing; malibu pls; played a lot of Horizon: Zero Dawn AND FINISHED THE GAME; took mom to see Thor 4 (A+); did not fold my laundry whoops; brushed the cat; AND got caught up in FFXIV, just last night, just barely in time for the big patch this evening/tomorrow.

Speaking of Horizon: Zero Dawn, how are so many of the male characters in that game so wholly oblivious to Aloy's obvious gay energy. Guys, she's just not that into you. It was a very good game! Very pretty, combat was fun once I got the hang of it and started using weapons other than "normal bow and arrow." The story was good, too, though perhaps a little optimistic (a post-apocalyptic game as optimistic?? Well, the apocalypse didn't happen until the 2060s, and they talk about all the changes humanity made to try to deal with climate change before then, so, uh. Yeah. Optimistic. sob). There's a couple jokes I wanna make but they're related to some FFXIV spoilers so I have and will continue to refrain from doing so. Looking forward to playing the sequel eventually, though I wanna do Stray next. CAT GAME CAT GAME CAT GAME CAT GAME

anyway i just spent the like 7 minutes tag-teaming the cat with my roommate because "pinning the cat" and "removing the stuck poo from the cat's butt" is really a two-person job (yes ofc i did the poo clean-up, she's my cat), how are your mornings going?

It's not exactly a secret that I have a very small opinion of Malibu's intelligence. Look, she tries, okay? But she's an IDIOT. I love her. She wouldn't survive 5 minutes outside on her own.

Sazy was smart. She was clever. She was, this is important, a GREAT hunter.


Anyway so there's a mouse in the apartment, right? Happens every year. Sazy kept them in line. Or. Well. She killed them, anyway. She could run like the wind and break their little necks in a flash.

Malibu spent like half an hour chasing one around in circles (under my bed.....) last night. She finally caught it, but then she put it back down. And then it walked away and she was confused and couldn't find it. Meanwhile, me, pointing at it, Mal, Mal, MALIBU LOOK, mAL. Nope. Ran around the bed a few more times and then collapsed on the floor panting in exhaustion.


Anyway so when I said there's a mouse in the apartment what I meant was, there's probably a mouse corpse somewhere in the apartment because she definitely bit it and it was moving pretty slow when it waddled out from my room.



In unrelated news I've officially been working from home for a year and I haven't worn a bra in just as long and I don't think I can ever recover from these things.

Here I will carry, carry, carry you"


Sazy died suddenly and unexpectedly a week ago.

things about her I don't want to forget, wip )

I miss her and I'll always miss her. She was my baby.

I was going to write an entry, but then the cat commandeered my lap and laptop and now I no longer remember what I was going to type out, other than that it probably included a thing I said today ("He's afraid of dragons. ... Drago-? I meant doctors. He's afraid of *doctors*"). So here is the message Sazy wrote for you, instead, because it's been a month and I guess I should post something:

i can haz dw? )


Anyone want to take a shot at translating it? :P
I need the whiteboard on my door for cat-care instructions, so I suppose it's time I take this down.

It was written by me! And a former roommate (the one the cat hated).


Sazy the stairwell demon
has to two shiny eyes that glow
and though you'll never see her
when she's very near, you'll know
'cause of the way she hisses
endlessly and without pause
but - fortunately for you - she has not got any claws!

In the darkness she will lurk
waiting on the stair
She'll fill your apartment up
with great globs of ripped out hair

Then she will hold dominion
Over all who venture near
Sazy the stairwell demon
filling all your hearts with fear!



mew


At least I didn't sing it for you!
