Cutest Kitty in the World
Polly
She's soft and round and sweet, and she has the tiniest little meow you've ever heard.

Title of the Day
A pamphlet from 1950, with information on what to do if someone drops an atomic bomb on your head. It was by far the most entertaining thing I saw all day.

Charging Station
Polly, bless her heart, has a lifelong issue with chewing on cables. Her favorite are headphone and gadget charging cables. That means that I can't leave them sitting out, so cable management is important. What to do? I had this cheap-ass wooden box.
It really is cheap. So cheap that I was afraid to remove the hardware before painting it, because it might not survive the trauma.
The first step was to use my Dremel to make a hole in the back, for the cords to pass through. I am not a woodworker. I did not do a very tidy job of it. The wood split. I used a grinder attachment to even it out as well as I could, but I am also not the princess of patience. A lick of paint will hide a multitude of sins, right?
So I sanded the whole thing, mixed up some teal paint, and went to work.
It took a couple of coats of paint. After it had dried, I cut some scrapbooking paper to size, to line the drawers and the top.
Et voila. The finished product has room to charge a Kindle, phone, and an iPod. It also has two shallow drawers to hold all the small junk that accumulates on the table inside my front drawer, keeping the cats out of it.
Altogether, the whole project took me about three hours, and that included the time it took me to figure out where in the hell I'd hidden my Dremel.

Little Fishy
One of my fish died a few days ago. I feel badly for the remaining fish. He seems fine, but they were clearly very attached to each other. They swam the tank, side by side, like they were attached at their little fishy hips.
