Surplus Cats

Let’s see if I can remember all of the things that have happened since the last time I made one of these update lists:

• Was hit by a car while walking to work. (I’m doing ok! Bruises/torn ligament? Not too big a deal.)
• Saw Peter Murphy.
• Got a promotion / suddenly feel good about waking up and going into the office.
• Spent Thanksgiving alone, which was kind of awesome. Grilled cheese and tomato soup! No travel/traffic!
• Ran into an old friend from high school on a night I planned to wild out alone among strangers. Life is funny.
• Started seeing that friend. Life is really funny.
• One of my friends gave me a tv he was getting rid of and I ordered a Roku player — changing my life. (read: addicted to Miss Marple & Columbo)
• Spent a weird week and a half, feverish and mostly sleeping. Woke up and decided it was time to look for my own place.
• Promptly got sick again? Currently have the sorest throat because my room warps into a dry riverbed at night that I flop around in gasping for breath. Yes, like a fish. Picture one of those fancy egg shaped goldfish with the black ruffly fins. Spooky and sad.
• Oh and check this out, I managed to reach Reader Zero in the same week I hit Inbox Zero at the office:
