Disco is a two year old silver cat. Boogie is her daughter. She’s a 4-5 month old black cat.
Disco came home with us. Boogie needs to be spayed and clear a couple of medical checks before she can come home too.
Disco came out of the cat carrier and instantly hid under the bed. Just like Patches did 13 years ago. She was spayed yesterday so we aren’t expecting a whole lot of oomph from her today.
We will change their names, just as we did with Patches. The front runners right now are Robin and Lily though given their original names I thought Donna and Summer might be fitting.
We may have a new friend. Also, this friend has a five month old kitten so we might have two new friends. Nothing set in stone yet. We will let you know how it goes.
I went to the veterinary hospital today to pick up Patches’ remains. She will sit on the window sill for now, but once the weather clears up she’ll go outside into the garden.
The RPM Challenge starts in 11 days and I haven’t touched my guitar in ages. I need to practice my ass off in the time remaining to get myself into playing shape. I swapped an overdrive pedal on my board today in the hopes it would trick me into playing tonight. It didn’t work.
I just read about another music guy who apparently passed away. I didn’t catch when. It wasn’t someone particularly famous, but he owned Boston’s best recoding studio, Fort Apache, and he produced some of my favorite records by some of my favorite bands, House Tornado by Throwing Muses and Surfer Rosa by The Pixies, and he managed some of my favorite bands, Belly and Juliana Hatfield. His name was Gary Smith and it sucks that he’s gone.
I fought against it for as long as I could, but I just couldn’t hold it off any longer.
I shoveled the driveway. Today wasn’t the first snow of the season, but it was the first snow that needed shoveling. I didn’t want to, but I just had to.
I am happy that the first shoveling didn’t happen until the later half of January, but I am sad that it still had to happen. Maybe we’ll get lucky and it won’t happen again until after our new windows are installed next month.
On January 9th we started the day at Magic Kingdom, then went back to the hotel to flake out for a while. That was the last recap post. That night we went back to Magic Kingdom for the fireworks show and stayed for an after hours event. The event required a separate ticket and took place after the park closed. That means the joint was virtually empty. We did a ton of rides with little to no wait. It was awesome.
Here are a ton of pointless photos.
I was really ready for the xmas stuff to go away.
Fireworks… in manual mode. Like a crazy person
Hey, bunny
This is me putting my feet up on the nearly empty People Mover, which we rode I think four times that night.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin (my favorite Magic Kingdom Ride not called Splash Mountain) was a walk on. Glorious.
Harry took this
Blurry background, babie!
I really wanted a slow shutter speed shot of the spinning merry go round, but not enough that I would stand there and wait for the ride to start. Sorry.
He’s especially good at expectorating.
That’s it. The next post will bring us back to Epcot and I think it’s going to be a long one. Lots of pictures from the last stop at Epcot. After that there will be another day at Hollywood Studios and then I think that’s it.
