Sylvee is so cute!

Today I came home and before starting to cook played with Sylvee a bit instead of doing it right before going to sleep. And then it was the cooking and eating while enjoying the latest from Omid Djalili. While I was watching it though, I saw Sylvee go upstairs. So far nothing out of the ordinary. What followed, however, was just too cute.

Sylvee managed to find her bag of treats and then manged to get it down and carried it all the way to me downstairs. It was just so cute!! How can I say no treats to a cutie pie like that?

Something different

Today was a bit different for me. To start I’m testing a HDTV tuner. I don’t watch that much TV, but sometimes I want to. HDTV has weird channel numbering schemes so I haven’t found all the channels yet. But we’ll get there. I have a couple of weeks to return the thing if I don’t like it.

The other thing is that I got a Rubik’s cube. I saw this really good tutorial online and wanted to really learn it this time. I could always do one side without a problem, but I figured it was time to explore further. And after a couple of painful hours with several mishaps that made me restart. But I did it!! That’s the big news for the day. Sorry to anyone who called me during then because I really couldn’t concentrate on anything else.

On other news, Big Cat is going to get a new name since some people are revolting against it. I’m thinking Vombol Daas. What do you think? The weird thing is that sometimes I get afraid that he’ll scratch me. It is weird because if anyone met me in the last year, they know I am all scratched up. But that’s by Sylvee, and she was there with me since she was a baby. Anyway, we’ll see whatever ends up happening with Vombol.

Of cats and food

By now, I’m pretty sure that I’m feeding two cats – Sylvee and the cat from across the street whom I aptly named Big Cat. Just a few nights back, I got home and proceeded to go through my get-in-and-settle-down ritual, when I was greeted by Big Cat comfortably taking a nap on my desk. Well, it was a bit over 0º C (32º F) outside, but what I don’t understand is why not got back to his house.

At that point I realized that Big Cat doesn’t have a collar. I don’t think I have ever seen a collar on him. May be he just lives around here and doesn’t really have a home? Got to figure that out. Because if that is the case, then he needs to go in for some mandatory shots.
