The Ballad of Smokey
You ever think that certain things happen for a reason? Not in the super meta sense of the phrase.

So after Comic Con, Jay & I fostered one of Heather’s kittens for a night while we found her a home with my co-worker’s sister-in-law. This kitten was the runt of her litter & super tiny. She was absolutely adorable and actually really liked me (animals liking me better than Jay just doesn’t happen). She [...]

UPDATE! Soooooo, it looks like there’s a very good chance my Macbook will be up and running again by Tuesday evening which is relieving. Also, I was able to hook up Jay’s old iMac that’s been sitting on the floor, out of commission for months because the video card didn’t work anymore. SO even if [...]
