In which J does something sciency...

(I've been trying to get J to do a guest post for a while and last night he came up with a great idea...so this is his first guest post...sorta...I mean, I'm writing it (and I added in my own little bit with the cat)...but it's totally his idea)

Last night, among the dirty dishes, laundry and cat hair tumbleweeds of the Self-designed Student Household Formation, we found a fossil. It took us several hundred nanoseconds to remove it from the bedroom matrix, but eventually, we had a beautifully-preserved specimen. After some final cleaning and field note-taking we tried to find out where, exactly, the bone belonged. J called the process a "common paleontological game."
Was it part of the mental protuberance?

Perhaps a tooth?
In the end, J decided that the bone was actually a nose spike. However, he had a nagging suspicion that he might someday be proven wrong.


Emily slept through the whole thing. What a sexy little creature...

Hahaha...that's great! And what a cutie kitty too...we have two, plus a purr-monster foster kitten. Know anyone who wants an orange furball with a thing for mayonaise?

Oh...Brian puts pictures of orange cats on his blog all the time and I always want them. Especially Hermes. I went home and raved about Hermes for a loooooonnnng time. I've always wanted an orange cat...especially one that slouches in the crook of elbows!

Emily's such a dork...I love her to pieces. She's sorta like a pug...cute in an ugly way. She's getting a haircut this weekend, so I'll be posting pics of her (looking royally pissed-off, no doubt).
