I Became a Butterfly and Acquired a Kitten

             Haven’t been tweeting much due to a new addition in our small family, but more on that later.  What I have been doing is making new friendships and rekindling old ones.  I can safely say now I am good on being a social butterfly; now I just have to keep the ball rolling for all the SIFF parties.

            The first part of my week was spending the whole day with my new film buddy (let’s call her Jane).  We meet at the Film happy hour a couple of times and finally got together outside of the event.  Her and her husband are great and can’t wait for our GURPS Campaign to assemble.  What is GURPS well let me just Google it for you: GURPS

            Mid-week I meet up with my talented and creative friend Kiri.  I just thought we were only going to have Brunch but it turned out to be a shopping trip to a wonderful store called Mishu.  I bought a crop jacket and the best/comfortable pants ever.  I would take a picture of them but at the moment they are covered in cat hair.   

            Thursday night I went kitten hunting online.  My man has wanted a new kitten for the past month as a companion for him.  My cat, Neko, only shows affection towards me and after his cat died back in September, he has been longing for a companion.  I found 3 tuxedo kittens in Kitsap County Human Society. 

            On Friday I rushed over to attempt to snatch up one of these kittens.  I was calling them like a mad woman when they finally answered and said they will be at the Petsmart in Silverdale.  After a frantic car ride with my mom we arrived to find out that they were all sold.  My hope was dashed until one of the volunteers said they had another off site adoption in Poulsbo.  We back tracked our way to Poulsbo and they had two left, one all black the other a tuxedo. 

            Both were adorable but the cat that passed away was an all black cat and it would remind him too much of his beloved Salem.  I found out they were not available to take home that due to the black one having an eye infection and they were afraid of the other having it as well.  I still filled out the paper work and that night I got the call she is fine and ready to fully adopt the next day. 

            After the 10 pages of paper work I have the new kitten for my man’s early birthday gift.  I brought her home on Saturday and naturally Neko hated the new kitten, but she will get use to it.  When I presented the new kitten to my man he immediately squealed with joy and thanked me profusely.  Her new name is Tali from Mass Effect, and she fits her name perfectly. 

           

               Coming up this week is movie premier with friends and escaping to my mom’s house for my birthday.  No new party Wednesday this week again, but stay tuned for Friday’s rant.

See you on the other side

Busy Social Calendar

            For once it’s a sunny and beautiful day here in Seattle.  It almost sums up my past week perfectly.  If you recall from my Mondays post last week that I was at my parent’s house.  Not a whole lot happened just did some yard work and went out to an awesome restaurant called Four Swallows in Bainbridge Island.  You can read more about it on my Friday’s blog. 

            I returned in time for film happy hour where I meet the wonderful producer of Imagos films again.  We talk almost the entire evening about games, film, and general geeky thing.  We made a date to have lunch this Wednesday.  I also meet another producer and director who are in the midst of finding another sound designer.  I am going to be courting them at the SIFF gala in the coming weeks.

            Friday rolled around and with it another party.  This time it was for my 3 friend’s birthdays, all of them have a birthday in the same week.  It was great to let lose, drink like a fish, and chat with some old friends.  I am so glad I did not get drunk nor had a hangover the next day.

            Then came Sunday.  I made plans to have lunch with this girl (who is a musician/song writer) I meet last time at Happy Hour.  She invited me to her house for some home made pha thai since she is strapped for money.  Getting to her house was a pain, for whatever reason the bus services suck and if you missed your bus it is an hour wait.  I did manage to arrive around 12:15 and she was still in her pajamas.  She thought we were having dinner but I corrected her and we still had lunch. 

            The food was good and the tea was strong, we had a light conversation about working and that was about it.  Not to say it was dull but I doubt we have very much in common other than music and work related questions.  I think next time it will be coffee at a coffee shop in the Udistrict.

            This coming week is full of social engagements.  As a result I am going to postpone party Wednesday for a couple of weeks due to scheduling and SIFF events. I will be updating on Mondays and Fridays as usual.
