[10:59 AM EDT - The REAL first entry.]
I got home without incident last night. It wasn't that cold out there so I didn't freeze off any limbs. Once I got home, I was a little surprised to see that the door to my room was closed (I never close the door unless I'm sleeping). Odd. Peeking into Werdna's room (who was up at that ungodly hour) I saw something that didn't belong in there.
*cue ominous music*
It was a cat. We have a cat in the house. Oh no, no.. I don't have any problems with having a cat in the house, but let me continue. A couple of days back, HNT asked me if I ever saw a kitten roaming around the neighborhood. I told him that I saw a cat a couple of times (one time where it dissed me), but no kitten. He told this story of how this kitten basically walked into our house and roamed around, doing this and that. It was quite bizarre actually, I never thought cats were that curious. But anyway, I walked into Werdna's room and asked if that was the cat HNT was talking about. Apparently it was. Taking a closer look, I realized it was the same cat that dissed me last month!! What the hey?
Seems like nobody in our neighborhood's claiming the cat, and it doesn't have any sort of identification (except maybe a microchip which we still have to check out). Werdna was thinking of keeping it, although I think the cat seems awfully tame not to have belonged to someone already. Mind you, it looks a little thin, so I don't think it's been eating much for the past few days, but still..
I'm going to take a picture of it sometime today, if I remember to bring along my camera that is. So if any of you living near me see any "lost cat" posters, give me a shout and I'll see if we can find the true owners of this stray. (Either that or we have another mouth to feed in the house.) If we do keep the cat, I guess I'm going to have to start keeping my door closed. The darned cat went through my entire room looking at things, smelling things, etc. I'm just glad I'm not allergic to cats. Hmm.. I guess this means that a certain person may not want to visit us in the near future..

Over the spring months in 2000, there was this cat that seemed to be wandering around in our neighborhood. I had come across the little feline a couple of times and it wasn't all too friendly. One day, it had wandered into our house and HNT (who affectionally named it Ai-chan) decided to adopt it. So, we had the cat in the house for about a day before HNT's brother thought it was too well groomed to be a stray and believed that the cat actually belonged to someone already. Eventually the cat was kicked out of the house. I wasn't home much during that time but I still had my camera handy, so on the rare moment when I was home with the cat around I took a picture.
That's our cat-for-the-day at the top of the stairs.
Hmm.. I never did get to mention that KGL's got a new update up last night. Well.. she does, so check it out! Laz also has an update and a new keyboard! Hmm.. should I get new stuff for my computer? Nah. I actually wouldn't mind trying out a RAID (Redundant Array of Independant Disks - methinks) system.. but when I have the time and money.
I got word from Jax that there's a new DDR out!
.. there's a new DDR out! At least in Japan! It's called DDR Solo, and there's 2 additional buttons (forward diagonal).
Ooh, so Jax may be getting some practice after all.. I think I should get back on the dance floor.. (or dance pad as the case may be.)

Dare I ask what your plans are for the RAID? It sounds more like you need a new fridge...
So what's the cat's name?
