What's your daemon?

I got my hair chopped off yesterday. I've been having some angst so I tried ridding myself of it by losing 12 inches of hair. It didn't quite work, but at least I will spend less of my near-term life with wet hair now.

I saw Stardust yesterday and found it sappy, beautiful and charming. Not as far out there on the beautiful scale as Mirrormask, but that would be hard to do.

My parents are coming to visit this week so I've finally called the plumber to deal with the fact that my bathtub has water under it (slosh slosh) and am looking forward to being able to freely bathe in my own house, though it may mean that I will go to the gym less compulsively now.

The jogging went super well on Saturday, especially since the weather was unnaturally perfect for summer.

Zozo got goopy eye over the weekend, and spent Saturday evening and Sunday following me around being snuffly and sad, but was completely recovered by like 4am this morning when he and Jaxby decided to play endless amounts of chase. awww, kitties :)

I also bought the His Dark Materials trilogy and plan to read those obsessively for a while. I want a daemon.

'No one belongs here more than you'

I heard a great short story on a podcast of Public Radio International's Studio 360. There's an excerpt here.

Besides that, life is sort of busy. With the new kitten, I have a lot more incentive to come home promptly at night, but I'm also greatly enjoying my current jogging and generic exercise fit. Yesterday and today it finally stopped being disgustingly hot which was super. I discovered that if I'm not out running on the hottest day of the year (which was Weds) I can in fact meet my goals for minutes of jogging/walking. Today was (10 min jog + 1 min walk) x3.

Jaxby and Zozo are getting along great. Cutesy photos will be on flickr tomorrow.
