Easter Spirit Arrives with Ears

It was worth one dollar to harass the cat with it for just five minutes. Then I decided everyone else needed to pose with it. I’m looking forward to Easter and Spring.

P.S. I think this is the first shot of me where you get to see my new glasses, which I got online for $30. Woo-hoo!

Movie: Alien Trespass

Went to see a sneak preview of the movie Alien Trespass tonight. It’s done in honor of 1950’s era monster/alien films, and I think they hit just the right note. Not mocking, but not taking it seriously either, which I believe is in the spirit of those old movies. Good acting, with lots of familiar faces. Great sets and props (we even got to have a polaroid geek moment over the modified camera used by Cody in the film). The story was well paced with a good amount of humor that kept us smiling all the way thru, and chuckling regularly. And last but not least, they had a real theremin player. Quite fun!

Simon Exploring

More cute shots of Simon from March & April here.

Simon used to be the basement cat here. But since Sylvani died, we decided to introduce Simon to the rest of the house. We had to bribe him with treats at first, to come to the top of the stairs, then into the kitchen, next room, and so on. But then he finally started exploring on his own. His territory has tripled in size, and he seems pretty happy with that.
