Transferred from mother-in-law's house to father's house tonight. THis is unrelated to the fact that someone put a backhoe through the phone trunk just down the street from the in-laws' place, thereby killing their phone line and their DSL. We are Mightily Impressed with their competence.

Went shopping today and got stuff. Nice pants, a belly-dancing scarf, some shirts -- I can do a really impressive sixties getup now, between one of the shirts and the pants, actually. Also stopped at The Walnut Tree and chatted with the owner, who hasn't been there before when I was there. I mentioned I was Kemetic, she mentioned morningwind and talked about the Athena ritual at Bryn Mawr, amusement was had by all. She was happy to get a couple of book recommendations; I told her she had the best book selection I've seen in a pagan store, and she felt quite complimented.

Talked with mother-in-law a lot about family and interactions and all kinds of things. Is all good.

Currently have a lapful of exceedingly elderly and cranky cat. She's happy to have me to sit on, though.

Oh, ladyofchulak -- I was in Borders and saw something titled 'Osama's Revenge' and it took me a moment to parse it as not being about your cat . . .

*laughs* I can only imagine what it would consist of it if *were* about my cat. ;)

Is there anything he's particularly cranky about? ;)

Same thing all Persians are cranky about. *Grooming.*

*imagines Osama wielding an undercoat rake like a club*

I forget...do you have any of those round tinted eyeglasses, ala late Lennon? ;-)

. . . that's a moderately disconcerting userpic.

And no, but I should. :)

I created it for Blue Rose-related stuff, but it seemed vaguely appropriate here.

Yes, this means I have 2 crossgender userpics (the other being this one, my paladin PC). ;-)

Hey, you met Janey! (Janie? Durr. Don't know how she spells her name) I was there earlier this week, nosing about. I can't remember if it was you or Mehen I told this to, but last year Mom wanted to get me "something Egyptian" for Christmas and asked Janey for help. She recommended a candleholder with an ankh and related the story of Wesir and the bit-off phallus. Mom said, "Ah."

Good times.
