Why yes, I am the crazy cat lady? How could you tell?

Today was beautiful- the weather about 55 and sunny with me not having to go to class. Usually I'd waste this by staying in bed all day, but I didn't. It was just too nice! So I did all those things on my to do list: clean my room, do laundry, mail out cards, get a library card from the town library..

It's so satisfying to put lines through things on my to do list.. If I were a less honest person I'd put lines through them without having done them just to get the satisfaction (note: the satisfying feeling does not come from accomplishing anything- cleaning my room is a pain in the ass. It's purely derived from the act of drawing a line through a word on a list. I know I'm sick, just learn to accept it as I have.).

So I did all this by 2. So now what to do? I'm was not going to go to school on my day off, so I figured, open all the windows, download my new favorite Dr. Who spinoff Torchwood, and drink tea revelling in my line drawing.

And that's when I met El Capitan (translates roughly to The Captain in English for those of you with poor Spanish). El Capitan is the neighborhood tomcat who can be heard at various hours of the evening fighting and having sex. As these are cats, usually it's one and the same.

El Capitan came bounding up our wrought iron spiral staircase (you're jealous, I know) that leads down into the backyard to come hang out. Unfortunately, these stairs lead into Lily's room so I couldn't let him in. We hung out, I petted him, he chatted to me and I took some pictures. The next door neighbors saw all of this and I'm officially an international crazy cat lady.

Whatever. This cat is a badass. He has one yellow eye and one blue eye and is covered in scars. Everyone should hang out petting El Capitan if they have the time. He is second only to Handsome George of Episkopi in terms of tomcat greatness. I have pictures of both of these cats in case anyone wants to see them.

Anyway, here is a picture of me with super teased hair (no hairspray necessary!) which will probably help you visualize me in 10 years (add stinky grey sweater and 20 more cats).
