a heart, mints, and a cat
Nothing too serious today. Just a couple of pictures I took this weekend.
This first one is a heart that I made out of peppermints while laying in bed bored. My girlfriend was on the computer playing some silly game. So, I--left alone with chocolate--just did what came naturally. I played with it.
I hadn't been eating chocolate for most of February due to that diet restriction I was on and so the bargain candy I bought after St Valentine's Day was languishing in a drawer. This was the first bag I attacked. Chocolate!
But I did pause long enough to make pretty shapes with the mints---the shiny red foil was too gosh durn pretty not to play with--before stripping those covers off and eating them. :-)
Here's a picture of a black... cat. Ha! I bet you thought I'd use some other word but you're wrong! (I did think the other word tho)
It's a boy and the most recent adoptee by my girlfriend. He's something like 5 years old and the people that used to own him (assuming that people own cats--an assumption few cats would agree with) had to toss him out due to one of their kids becoming very allergic to the fellow.
Kid or cat? Cat or kid? Tough choice, huh? The cat's pretty good, as cats go--I've not seen the kid so I don't know if they chose right or not.
I just finished watching the DVD of The Devil Wears Prada. It was very different in tone from the book but it was still quite enjoyable. I was expecting to not like it since it'd have been difficult to provide in the movie what the book delivered--but they were smart. They didn't try to copy the elements that just wouldn't come off the page, and so on a movie level it worked just fine.
One thing that annoyed me tho is that the assistant was being judged as this "ugly duckling" when she's beautiful. I hate when they cast extremely good looking people to play plain or ugly people. It just makes it all seem to surreal.

If Nyssa's plans fall together as she would like, she will be heading back to the state of her birth... Oklahoma. There to do graduate work in meteorology, as they have the best program in the country. We will see. That is fine though. Her first year was in Tennessee at Sewanee and I expect her to fly away. Let's see, I went to college in Oklahoma when my parents lived in Pennsylvania... then they moved to Delaware. We've done the nest thing gradually so it's ok.
Pretty kitty. He'd make a good companion for my two black girls.
I would have adopted that cat too... I don't like cats but they don't answer back like kids do.:o)
BTW--thanks for the encouragement. I wish I agreed, but it is a man-desert here in the middle of Hellsville USA. I was rather quiet about the negative on Joseph because I kept hoping that I was over-reacting. Instead I am left saddened by a man who does not know if he can truly appreciate and love "Total Package", a great person who gave him the most normal dating experiences he has ever had (to quote him). Manspeak for "Sassy you are a big loser again in the dating/romance/love game". Dammit!
Yaeli, I have an almost unlimited ability to eat chocolate. A 15 ounce bag is nothing--however peppermints aren't my favorite and I only buy them for occasional snacking.
I'm here via Michele today. Have a terrific weekend.
I quite liked that film too - and that was exactly the same thing that annoyed me. There was no way she was ugly or even plain!
Michele sent me this time.
I guess casting directors are afraid of casting true ugliness. How sad.
