“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
Please meet Yossi, the new addition to our family.
Yossi is between three and four months old. We got her from a cat shelter yesterday; it seems she is an ex-stray who was picked up at only six weeks old. She’s bursting with energy, but can’t seem to decide if she wants to play with her toys or nurse with her new parents. She is very affectionate.
It’s been over seven years since we’ve had a kitten. This should be fun…
I am requesting good, high resolution photographs of anyone reading this. Please mail them to my email address. I’m looking for nice, print-quality images.
Also, please email me your current street address just to be sure I have it correct. I am going to send out Christmas cards this year (shock!) and I want to be sure none go astray.
‘Twas a busy week this week, which is a strange thing to say since I don’t feel like I accomplished a great deal at school. Spent far too much time troubleshooting a lab only to find out that the interference we’d been struggling to remove (by optimizing a circuit) was due to our new voltage probes reading a 60 kHz signal from ‘the air’!!
Home time has been spent playing the mighty Final Fantasy XII, which is worldofwarcraftian in it’s addictiveness. In fact, it’s so good that I hesitate to speculate whether The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (for Wii, due next Sunday) could tear me away.
Last last weeks Doctor Who – Rise Of The Cybermen – was disappointing. I think it was the first episode of the new series I would describe as anything less than fantastic. Sadly, we were unable to see the concluding episode (Age Of Steel) due to our PVR mysteriously not taping it (while we were off seing Borat at the cinema). So I can’t say therefore whether or not the alternate Cybermen origin tale redeemed itself. As it stood though, the Madame Pompadour episode previous was such a tour-de-force of good writing most any episode would have seemed a letdown as a followup.
And yes, Borat was an amazingly funny film. I haven’t laughed that much at a movie in years (if ever).
Not much else to tell except to watch this space. There may be a seismic announcement in the next few days…
