A few quick updates. First I'm very much enjoying my new iPod Touch (thanks again, lizzzie_lou and moonlightnrain), it's just different enough from my Nano to occasionally cause me a bit of confusion, particularly with the iTunes interface. Loving the space especially and I'm having way too much fun with the apps.

Second, M- stopped by last night to meet Lola and I had the foresight to shut the guest room and closet doors to take away her favorite hiding spots. This didn't stop her, as I went into the bedroom looking for her and couldn't find her. Then I glanced on the bed and noticed an oddly cat-shaped form under the quilt. That cat is a hide and seek champion. She did behave herself nicely and I think made a good impression. M- has never owned a cat before and was full of questions that I did my best to answer. She seems like a sweet young woman and says her apartment is nice and quiet, though it's a little worrying that she has two roommates. She's going to stop back by with her boyfriend so they can both meet Lola and hopefully make a decision after that. Sharon assures me that even if this doesn't work out she had at least one other person express interest in Lola at the last adoption fair, so I'm not going to be too disappointed if this doesn't work out.

Third I've gone back to playing Monster Rancher 3 because I apparently haven't got enough critters to take care of in real life. The entire concept of the game is profoundly screwed up if you stop and think about it, raising monsters so they can be tossed into a gladiatorial ring to beat the snot out of other peoples' monsters for money and prizes. I end up feeling like I'm sort of a combination pimp and Roman plebe. And more often than not I start muttering like Stewie Griffin, "Your performance at the last tournament was completely unacceptable. And now, beast, you have the unmitigated gall to demand that you be fed? Very well you shall have potatoes and you shall like it. 'Don't care'? You don't care? By god you will or you shall find your furry little bottom put to sleep! Don't think I won't! Now get back to your training, brute, and if you dare fail there will be hell to pay. Hell. To. Pay!"

I worry about myself sometimes...
