Last Saturday we took home 2 kittens, now named Bella and Hobbes. They're roughly 9-10 weeks old, and considering their rough start (found dumped at a pet store at ~4 weeks old, no mom, living in a foster home since then) they're pretty well adjusted now. They've bonded with my fiance and I nicely.

Because they were abandoned at such a young age, Bella (who is also the runt) has retained a habit of suckling. Obviously if she's just suckling on a toy or her bed, I don't mind. The problem is she's suckling on Hobbes... ( in a place that I'll put under a cut so people reading at work don't get in trouble )

Here we go again; daily tweets:

It's Convention time again this weekend in Chicago. You can check up on the guest list and their schedule here on the Creation site.

The Twitter hashtag for the Con is #chicon. To follow this you simply enter #chicon in the search box on your Twitter page or click here. You can add #chicon anywhere in your tweet and it will show up in this stream.

Reports, pics, vids and tweets of note will be added to the Chicago Con page on the Sueprnatural Wiki. Please feel free to add links to your own reports or any stuff you find.

The Wiki page also contains the Twitter addresses of guests who will be at the Con and might Tweet (yes Misha I'm looking at you!).

Do remember that while Twitter is instantaneous, it still takes time for fans to upload stuff, esp as many will be travelling home on Sunday after the J2 panel. I am sure some dedicated and generous fans will get stuff up quickly, but I'd expect the bulk of pics and videos to appear from Monday onwards.

Just keep checking the Super Wiki!

Dan and I went to see The Box today, both of us thinking it looked like kind of a nifty psychological thriller movie. A remake of a Twilight Zone episode, can't be too bad, right?

Wrong. All the good parts were in the trailer. I had to wake Dan up about a third of the way through, and it went all Spielbergian at the halfway point and never returned to being an even remotely okay movie again.

Also, Cameron Diaz has a very striking shape, and I love her character's clothing style in the movie, but her face looks way older than the rest of her.

Here's some I know of:

• Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure
• Lock's Quest
• Nostalgia

Know any more? :D

So I have been hearing a lot about Aion since it came out. Thing is, I'm not hearing in-depth opinions on it. I refuse to play WoW because I am a natural obsessor and am too afraid I'll start ignoring my real life to play it. LOL. Not that likely, but I'm not risking it. Hubbs played WoW for less than 6 months before he ran out of stuff to do/obtain and got bored with it and quit.

Hubbs' friend lent us his cd, but we still need to cough up $50 for a cd key and we're not willing to do it without significant understanding of the game [since we can't try it out].

So, here's what I'd like to know from those of you who play/played Aion.

- Pros
- Cons
- Similarities to WoW
- Differences from WoW

Thanks in advance!

Hihi. I have a cat, and he has (what I assume is) kitty pink eye. He is scheduled to go see the vet on Friday (my vet had surgery, so she isn't available asap), so I'm not looking to fix the problem or diagnose it.

It's just... he's wiping it a lot, and he's holding his eye closed, and he doesn't seem very comfortable. That makes me sad. :(

So I am wondering if any of you have a suggestion for what I could do between now and when he goes to see his vet to maybe make him a little more comfortable? I read on this here internet that saline solution (like for contacts) can be used to flush the eye, but I'm not going to do just any old thing I read.



Also: is kitty pink eye contagious? He loves to play with one of my other cats, and I don't want her to get it, too. I am assuming it is, since human pink eye is contagious, but you never know.


Thanks in advance!

Pairing: Gen, focus on the Friendship/Bromance between Aaron Hotchner and John Blackwolf.
Summary: Where Hotch went for those 34 days after Foyet's attack.
Author Notes: Again, I can not thank everybody enough for taking a moment to let me know you're enjoying this story! I will be wrapping the story up in the next couple of days but this is my favorite part and I wanted to get it out today.

The last part, wibble! There is an author's note at the end. Thank you again, everybody for your support and going on this ride with me. It's been a great deal of fun!

I also need to give big, HUGE props to my beta cala_jane who is tasked with keeping me on track both for the case as well as the character development.

I in no way own any rights to the Criminal Mind characters or their universe, I'm just hobby playing in the sandbox.

We're getting to the end now and I have good news, at least I hope it's good news. Parts 5 and 6 are going up tonight. I'm doing this because, they're done and I'm going to be away on business the next few days without internet access.

Since everyone has been so wonderfully supportive I figured it would be better to put up the last two parts before I go than to leave everyone hanging on the end. :D It's been a wonderful ride everybody, thank you so much for your support of this fic!!

"I realized just how effective the demonization of welfare has been when I was actually shocked to hear kids, in a show targeted at other kids, being led in a chant that said being poor or on welfare shouldn’t be shameful and did not reduce their worth as human beings. Can you imagine a TV show, even on PBS, putting something like this on the air today? Our public discourse at this point says that being on welfare is shameful, and that those receiving it in fact aren’t “somebody.” They are dependents, lazy loafers, and their kids are just additional burdens on the state; they don’t have the same rights to dignity and respect as other citizens, and they certainly shouldn’t expect to get it."

This picked up my mood considerably today. And while it's not specifically advice or a suggestion of some kind, maybe it'll pick up someone's mood too?
