xparrot: Chopper reading (doctor meow)

on presents

*yawn* Kitties woke me at 7 AM, a couple hours before I had to be up - they'd somehow gotten into a bag of Christmas ribbons and bows, and Anna was coming and depositing bows on my chest. Christmas ribbons are surprisingly loud when pushed into your face by an eager kitty. After the second or third one I staggered out of bed to find the bag and stash it in the closet where I thought it had been all along (how they found it now, months later, is one of those feline mysteries.) I should consider myself lucky that they weren't just eating the bows (Anna especially loves eating shiny things and plastic. We have to be very careful about not leaving plastic bags around because she will, given the chance, tear them up and devour them. Unsurprisingly her digestive track does not appreciate such avant garde gourmet.)

...Also am lucky that we don't have mice. Or tarantulas. Because I suspect Anna would want to share those spoils with me as well, and that would be a much less adorable way to wake up.

In mostly unrelated news, in the pre-cat morning I was dreaming that I was reading/playing Homestuck. It actually made significantly more sense...

I think Very Special is the best way I've heard Homestuck described yet. Now that I'm finally up to date on it I admit I'm addicted as hell to the updates. But oh god trying to get into it the walls 'o text wore me out to the point where I'm sure I missed a lot due to skimming. XD

I dig the hell out of the music though. I'm trying very hard to not buy every single album and only get the ones I really, really want (which is two of them so far)

I'm getting into it a lot more than I thought I would - it seems so abstract at first, but there's enough underlying sense to keep me reading (and I'm a sucker for a good time-travel mind-screw!)(also for friendship, which it actually plays almost as hard as YGO, just in a different mode...)

And the music is awesome. I keep being surprised by how good it is!
