can't be bothered to craft a subject line today

Thanks for the virtual chocolates, dude. I hope you don't regret having sent them after reading my comments.

Poor Mal must think it's Torture the Kitten day or something. First I pinned him down to clip his nails (razor sharp, as my legs can attest). Then, he and Thor were lurking around the edges of the tub while I took a soak, they squabbled, and Thor pushed him in! His hind legs and belly all got pretty thoroughly wet. Much to my impressed surprise, he didn't take off like a rocket, though. He did disappear for a minute or two, but then came back and spent a lot of time staring at the water, testing it with a paw to see if it would hold him, prowling around the edges of the tub, etc. I think he liked my attempts to dry him off even less than getting wet in the first place. He's too hyper-energetic to put up with being wrapped in a towel and rubbed for very long.

I consider it all fair payback though. Yesterday I got home from work to find that dear, sweet Mal had somehow unplugged the refrigerator. I don't think the power was off long enough for the mayo and such to go bad (pretty much the only food I currently have in the fridge is condiments) but I won't know until I test it all. The leftover Padthai from Wednesday seems to have been alright - ate it last night and haven't got sick yet.

In an oddly coincidental move, the power was off at some point early yesterday afternoon. Not only did I find the fridge unplugged, but all the digital clocks in the apartment were blinking at me. It was all just very weird.

(no subject)

I had a babysitting interview today. I guess I passed muster since they asked me to sit for them tomorrow afternoon.

In the process, I discovered a very cute little coffee shop that's about a ten minute walk from my apartment. Their prices are no worse than Starbucks and they sell a decent scone (this is nearly as important as having good coffee) and their Mocha is yummy so I'll definitely be going back.
