Cats are magical creatures. I’m just saying, because at the moment I have one wrapped around my lap (not precisely on it), purring madly and doing her best to rub her entire body against all of my exposed surfaces, including my fingers as they type. She’s succeeding, too. It’s annoying yet (this is the magical bit) endearing as hell.

She just shoved her entire face into my nostril. Thought you might enjoy that image.

Onward to my blog entry of the day, or rather, the past several days. If you want to see a picture of the cat, see my last blog entry. Otherwise, you’ll have to settle for this shot of me in front of the house. That’s my bedroom window up there.

There’s a thrift shop in this town; the last time I was there I found the find of the year so far! Maybe even last year too! Yes! It’s a gorgeous cut-work velvet scarf that is so lush and elegant it makes me happy just to think about. See, I’m not so very hard to make happy.

This cat is crossing the boundary from endearing into seriously annoying and is beginning to trigger desires (which I allow myself to feel, if not act on) to toss her out that same bedroom window, which at the moment is located directly behind me. Yaahh!!

There, she settled into my lap. Goood kitty. Now she’s peacefully combing my hair with her claws. Oh, yes. That’s nice.

In the next shot, I indulge my images of greatness, kind of like where you take a picture of Mount Rushmore with your head in one of the presidents’ positions. Here I am in the Chemainus mural! You know the one–it’s the famous one on all the billboards and promotional material. My head is occupying the central position.

One day, this town will be famous cuzza ME [insert maniacal laughter here].

Sorry. It’s the influence of this cat. She’s a fey, strange and dark creature with a large, assertive presence. I’m quite certain she deems herself to be the absolute ruler of the world, and I’m not convinced she’s wrong about that.

In fact, I’d wager she stopped annoying me purely out of regal graciousness and not because I intimidated her into it.

Last and definitely least, here’s today’s self-portrait: me hunched over the computer screen. The look on my face says it all. Yep, that’s how I feel. Whatever. It’s Sunday, and Sunday has always felt like a throw-away day.

However, the good news is, my new website is up and running! You can find it at newbiehelp.earthmatrix.net. I’ll be promo-ing it some more soon. It’s perfect timing, because Mercury has recently ended its retrograde period. It is not considered wise to launch new ventures that involve communications and technology while Mercury is retrograde.

Check it out, all. Tell your friends in the area. I’ll be putting some helpie-type content up there soon, too. I just now finished creating the masthead image. Kinda cool, no?

Actually, I’ll probably be still fiddling with it quite a bit. So maybe the announcement is premature. Bear with me…
