The new place.
A separate bathroom to lock each cat into when they get out of hand. A walk-in closet. Large storage area. A private entrance. MY OWN WASHER AND DRYER! Is this not beautiful to behold?

Day Nine of Death by Caroling.
At least I won’t have to come up with clever titles for a month or so. Right now there’s a version of “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” that sounds like it was stripped out of a Las Vegas casino’s holiday extravaganza. It really sounds like Wayne Newton singing, but I didn’t hear the credits,…
The cats didn’t pick this time.
OK, I’m still talking to the cats, but they aren’t talking back yet, so I figure I’m sane enough. I’ve done four more DVD’s since I last updated: “The Ice Storm” (absolutely excellent and why did I wait so long to rent this?), “Seabiscuit” (OK, but way too long), “Pirates of the Caribbean” (also way…
Songs 1-6
Unlike later updates to The List, there is a common theme with these songs – they got me through some bad times. These are the songs that hit my list first, not necessarily because they were the most important to me (though some do hit me powerfully) but because they are all tied to periods…
The Mystery (Plant) Deepens
No, the mystery plant has not yet bloomed, and it’s starting to drive me nuts. The largest of the buds is now nearly two inches long and tubular. This is what it looked like yesterday” The bud turned white sometime during the day today, and is just starting to part at the tip. It doesn’t…

Changes, Landscapes and Escapes
The trees this year apparently can’t decide whether or not to throw their lot in with the changing of the seasons. As I drove to work this morning I noted that a fair number of maples were particularly schizophrenic regarding the changing of the seasons, with green, gold and red leaves all on the same…
I used to have a friend who would go looking for baby birds every spring then raise them. She could never understand why they would get caught by a cat as soon as she released them. She finally figured it all out and just left them be!

baby bird time, kitten time, and the increase in road kill time. i love spring, and i hate spring at the same time.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, I haven’t seen that movie in so long it would be new to me.
I love old movies. I just rented ”The Quiet Man” (John Wayne, MaureenO’Hara)
”Leave Her to Heaven”
and ”Laura”
*munches popcorn*
VCR…great invention =)
My favorite part: I was wondering why there were other birds behind me, screaming at me too….
Oh I love that movie! I read the book too… very interesting moral to it. Enjoy! Oh and congrats on the apartment!
congratulations on the apartment, sal!! the bird story was oddly amusing. i remember poking a fat bird with a stick as a child because it wasn’t flying or reacting to our presence (though it was alive. seemed to just be chilling) i don’t remember it screaming, though. it might have been in the same situation.
There was a band back home called Dorion Gray.
I can’t remember if they were any good… I’m sure the movie is better! 🙂
I love how you know the name of plants! I need to buy gardening for dummies, if there is such a thing. I feel so inept when people start talking plants.

Wow! I’m jealous as hell!
Looks great!
in case you were wondering, no, I didn’t read Shay’s comment before I left mine…
It’s massive! But does it have an automatic garage door opener?
Your own washer and dryer adjacent to the bedroom where most of the laundry comes from….BONUS!!!

~~AWESOME!~~

Awwwww, I would’ve done the same thign your sister did,lol. Poor baby bird!! LoL…
Nice house, looks spacious, big, whoooo!! I cant wait to get a place of my own. Now I know I’ll regret saying that when I do,lol!
Love,Alaina
Wow, look at all that room! The layout looks really nice. Our family of five went from 800 square feet to 1800 sq feet five years ago. It was great to stretch out, only problem was that we did not have enough furniture to spread out with us.
It’s gorgeous!! 😀
That looks like a big apartment!! You’re lucky :).
It is a beautiful thing. I don’t believe I could ever go back to communal laundry. It’s so much easier to toss it in and forget it in the dryer for a day or two….
Your own washer and dryer. One of life’s best luxuries!
