... to foxgrrl !!! Have a great one!!

First off, my apologies for the lousy picture quality. We have a really good camera, thanks to foxgrrl , but I am a terrible photographer who cannot hold a camera steady one-handed to save her life. Also, unfortunately there are no macro shots, because either we don't have a suitable lens for it or I don't know how to use our existing lenses properly (the latter is far more likely). But these...

Just now I heard a repetitive, high-pitched "mew" outside that can be only one thing: a hungry kitten. I went out to look for it, mewed a few times to see if it would answer, and caught a glimpse of a little tail going under a car. I knelt down to look under the car and spotted it; it appears to be grey (though, in the dark, all cats are grey), and is probably about eight or nine weeks old. I'm pretty...

We're having an awesome little discussion about gender words on foxgrrl 's journal. It started out about the word "tranny", and I've brought up my feelings about the word "cisgender" too. I thought the discussion might interest some of you folks, too, especially since I often talk about how much I can't stand the word "cisgender" and in this discussion I'm having the chance to really clarify...

I spent most of my Christmas vacation working on an 18th century tailcoat. Brocade, velvet, lace trim, gold buttons, the works. dv_girl did the shirt for me on very short notice. I say the aristocratic fop look is coming back in a big way, and I'm here to show and tell. foxgrrl has actually taken professional-looking photos of me while I was dressed up and high, but she's...

Meredith for Victory: Associated Press just covered her DIY home-genetically-engineered "glowgurt" Meredith and I met in SF earlier this month through (The Amazing) Julia and immediately bonded over my improbable desire to have kittens implanted in my womb. She is, how you say, awesome . I'm glad everyone else is starting to find that out too. Of course, as it likely goes without saying...

Yesterday was a good day, and it was made that way by two occurrences: me going to my study counselor, and meeting foxgrrl for breakfast. We had vindaloo, which was a first ever for me, and we chatted. foxgrrl is basically the spitting image of a hacker chick, with her multicolored hair, her cute fox backpack, eye for bringing out aesthetics, quiet voice and complete lack of ego...

Oh dear. I seem to have developed some sort of throat unpleasantness, which oddly consists more of swelling than outright pain. I'm hyperaware of my tonsils, and there are some very swollen lymph nodes in my neck. No wonder I've been feeling so out of it and despondent the last few days. Fortunately, I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled Monday for something else entirely, so I will have...
