Tell Of Two Kitties
So far my computer is still working, blessed thing. Let’s hope it stays that way.
Today I have two cats, as prescribed by Doctor Feelgod McPlume.
First off, my new feline friend. From our third meeting.
Looks like its on the prowl, but it was only chasing scratches-behind-its-ears. And a skilled hunter. At least level 7, with a bonus of +23 in charisma.
Yesterday I mentioned that I hoped I’d get to play with the kitten at the playground. When I got there today it was meowing softly behind the door. And it was everything I had hoped for.
It was kitten. irresistably kitten. Huge wondering, wandering eyes. I don’t think it stopped purring for even a second of the time I spent with it.
Kitten on the fussball table!
Kitten under the chair! Which it proceeded to claw at as if trying to shred it to pieces.
Kitten on me. Giant kitten paws of doom.
I need a shower and a shave and a haircut and maybe a little more tan. If only there was any vacation left.
Meanwhile, I have made a page with screenshots from Oblivion, because it’s so pretty that it deserves it.
That’s all for today. I might have to go up to the playground and play with the kitten again tomorrow. Even though I’m not working. All work and no play with kittens makes Plume a doll boy.
Pinocchio to you all.

Two pretty kitties, Big Tiger and Little Tiger! Do they have names yet? Little Tiger has enormous paws.
You’re wearing LONG sleeves. It is sooo hot here, 90 F + with a heat index of 104 – 110. (32 C – 43 C) No long sleeves for me today!
The Oblivion pictures are really pretty. I need a nice cool, shady place to visit about now. Our goats would like that green, green grass to munch on. They don’t like the hot weather too well either, but they’re not complaining.
Seems to me, in your “real” life, you do great things. You run risks, do battle with the “evil” new computer, make friends with new beings (Big & Little Tiger), you might get stuck on something, but you figure out a way to work it out and avoid being eaten by an ogre, & you explored new worlds by not staying in your room sleeping the whole time while on vacation.
Give yourself a pat on the back – you’re getting better at playing the “real life” game! (This is just my humble opinion and one you didn’t ask for, so you can agree, disagree, or ignore it! Or tell me to mind my own business. I can take constructive criticism.)

Do you think they will let you name the new kitten?? It’s so adorable! I love him already. I just LOVE cats.

OMG, that Oblivion game looks awesome !
But would not multiplayer be even more fun in such a beautiful world?
So rich in beauty and yet essentially alone ..

I’ve never played computer games but those screen shots are tempting.
As are the kittens.

I bought Oregon Trail on cd-rom, (walked pass yard sale the other day) but it doesn’t play. I am soooo heart-broken. I was pissing my pants with excitement. but after setup it says “requires 256 color video mode. and your video mode has 0 color.” wtf,now i feel desire to kill everyone, when before i only planned on killing off everyone in the game, (via not stopping to rest after they get bug bite or broken leg or whatever) after i name them after people I don’t like. I SOOOOO feel your pain about computer woes and admire your strength of character for not killing all family and friends and humans you come across like I am going to.

This photo of Mount Hood at sunset reminded me of your games screen grabs.

PS, If the kitten’s a female you could name her Obliva :) (Olivia is a proper name)

Yay! Let’s have a “kitten naming contest”. Marzipan will do for a kitty, since we didn’t get to name a goat. We can call it “Marz” for short. What is “kitty” in Danish?

That is such a cute little kitty and gorgeous cat. Big paws usually mean it will grow to be a big cat. I think they will take up a very big space in your heart very quickly,

Deb – They don’t have names yet. Or well, I guess they do. I just don’t know them. I like Big Tiger and Little Tiger! That fits. At least until Little Tiger grows hehe.
Long sleeves.. I don’t know what I was thinking. But at least it gave Little Tiger something to claw onto. And rest assured that I changed back to a t-shirt as soon as I got home!
There are actually sheep in Oblivion. No goats though. But funnily enough the sheep sound a lot like Mads. Universal baahing.
I will give myself a pat on the back. Sometimes it’s interesting to explore the real world too. And please, don’t ever stop minding my business. It brightens my day when people mind my business, not least when it’s you. So keep butting in!
Luis – I’m afraid they probably won’t let me name it. I didn’t get the full story about why the kitten was there. I’m afraid it probably won’t be staying at the playground. I’m afraid it was just a case of kitten-sitting. But oh I hope it will stick around. It was so purringly sweet.
The Fume – I have never played any multiplayer rpgs. I’m not sure I could get into it really. Although I have wanted to try out Ultima Online. Because I’m a huge fan of the Ultima series. Now what I really want is a game like Oblivion, with Ultima storyline. Ultima 10 with graphics like that and an openended story, that would rock.
In Oblivion I am playing a “good guy”. So I don’t kill and loot. Every now and then I’ll make some mistake though and I will have to reload an earlier savegame. Whenever that happens I usually go berserk and killy innocent people until I’m surrounded by guards and slaughtered. Then I reload my savegame. Haha.
judas monkey sam broke – White devil magic? Nope, it’s black magic. It’s the dark arts of the underworld. Orrr, maybe it’s just a self-timer release button magic.
Your video mode has 0 colours? That’s gotta suck. You can’t even get black/white then! Or well, black isn’t a colour right? So you can get black/white. I guess.
I might still kill all humans. I will have to invent some kind of doomsday device first though. It would be too much work if I had to go around and kill them one by one.
Katherine – Whoever programmed Earth did a pretty nice job. Apart from that little Humanity virus.
Obliva hehe, that’s cute!
Deb – Marzipan is still a lovely name. Kitty? Hmm. I guess we would say “mis”. Missekat. D’yo know what “kitten” is in Danish? “Killing”. What a deadly name!
Noodella – It will probably grow to be a giant cat. Maybe the biggest cat in the world. Maybe they will name it Garfield and feed it lasagne. Hmm, lunchtime!
