Have a lot of time to kill? You could play this strangely addictive little airport security game…
Go check out Not an Artist’s great picture of her cat Guinness wearing a baby sweater – and make sure you follow the links below the “cat animation content” if you’re looking for some laughs. (I must say that Guinness is a much more obliging model than Chaos and Mayhem.)
Reading Update
Plum Lucky by Janet Evanovich. I don’t really enjoy the “Stephanie Plum Between-the-Numbers” novels – more Ranger and Joe, less Diesel, please!
Small Favor (The Dresden Files, Book 10) by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden, Chicago wizard and private investigator, returns in the latest and very enjoyable installment of the series.
Real Murders: The First Aurora Teagarden Mystery by Charlaine Harris. Originally published in 1990 and recently reissued now that Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse vampire mysteries have done so well, the first Aurora Teagarden mystery is well written and paranormal-free. 🙂
Women, Work, and Autoimmune Disease: Keep Working, Girlfriend! by Rosaline Joffe and Joan Friedlander. I received this book to review through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. If you’re interested in my review, you can read it over at LibraryThing.
Tall, Dark and Hungry (Argeneau Vampires, Book 4) and Vampires Are Forever (Argeneau Vampires, Book 8 ) by Lynsay Sands. Whew! I am now completely done with the Argeneau Vampire series – light’n’trashy paranormal romance that I much enjoyed.
Sucker Bet (Vegas Vampires, Book 4) by Erin McCarthy. More enjoyably light’n’trashy paranormal romance…
Darkfever (Fever Series, Book 1) by Karen Marie Moning. Darkfever was a dark urban fantasy primarily set in Dublin, in a world where the fae pose a significant threat to humanity – but only a few people are aware of the problem. I already have the next book in my library queue!
Single White Vampire Seeks Same, edited by Martin H. Greenberg and Brittiany A. Koren. A collection of short stories about paranormal beings looking for love in the personals.
New Keens (black, of course). Small box (well, as small as a US11/EU42 shoebox can be). Large cat.
“Hee hee. Mom won’t ever find me now!” -Chaos
“Mom! You must’ve cheated. And who’re you calling large, anyway?! Hmph.” -Chaos
Not a great place to hide when your butt and tail stick out, Chaos!
I think you look adorable, Chaos. This despite the fact that your hind end is peeking out of the box.
It’s kinda like Sylvia would “hide” under the covers, with the mistaken impression that the cat-shaped lump was invisible.
OMG I’m falling out of my chair with laughter. Thanks for starting my day off right, Chaos!!
New Keens.. made from 100% kitteh.
Poor deluded Chaosal unit!
Interesting autoimmune book review.
heh, no one will notice that butt and tail 😉
Well, I’m going to have to check the book out too.
Oh no! What happened to Chaos?! He’s gone and found himself a Box of Invisibility!
That got a HUGe bagel snort from Kathryn!! And the usual Grape Nuts one from me…
Free cat toys are always the best, huh, Chaos?
(((hugs)))
Too cute! The early reviewers program sounds neat.
What cat? I don’t see a cat.
your hiding place sucks cat.
Wha? No pictures of the Keens?
I loved that animation. Evanrude always piles his “toys” in the hallyway, this includes my feather duster, my dogs tennis ball, and two of my daughter’s eyelash scarves.
Isn’t it funny how cats forget their tail is always sticking out (among other things) when they hide?!
Do you like to borrow books from the library, or do you go to the bookstore? As I was reading your reviews I was thinking you must have an amazing home library by now!
Oooo, New Keens…
I just started reading the Evanovich books, and find them a pretty enjoyable read. I’ve only read one, but I can see the appeal of both Ranger and Joe.
I never did get a copy of that book on autoimmunity to review. I can’t tell from your review – is it worth it to spend money to get a copy?
Sorry Chaos – yes your butt does look big in this – giggle
Dude.
MORE Keens?
The first step is admitting you have a problem…
Boy you have keen sight. I would have never found that cat in the box. I love how they think if their head is hidden then you can’t see them.
Which new black Keens did you buy? I need to pick up some more of the Dresden Files books, I loved the first one.
Size is relative, Big Kitty!
Thanks for the contest plug!
Hey, I just remembered a book I read recently that you might like. Non-fiction. Something like the science of Sherlock Holmes. It’s a history of forensic science as related to the Sherlock Holmes tales. I’ll look for more info and get back to you.
I totally suck at that game!
You’ve got it the wrong way round. The shoes are for Chaos and Mayhem and the box is for you!
Um. Hybrid shoes? Do they have batteries that charge when you jump up and down?
Your house is full of kitty houses!
New Keens! I just might have to get me some of those. As usual, the cat likes the bag/box better than the toy inside.
Chaos- ignore your ma. She forgets that you are the MAN of the house and if you are LARGE it is all the better to protect her and your sis.
More shoes, and black too!!!
That is the most best shot, with the single baleful eye glaring out from the shadow of the Keen Box of Invisibility.
Maybe go and buy a pair of clown shoes? Big shoebox! 🙂 Or maybe a pair of Ugg boots?
Oh yeah, 12 am is midnight. Oh well
But you can’t see his head. How did you find him? 😉
Uh, more Keens?
Funny how they think when they’re face is hidden we can’t see them – even though their butt is sticking out a mile off……yup, Thunder does it too 🙂
