I'm driving Berit to the airport bright and early tomorrow for a family trip and then I'm at The Brick handling tech things for Penny Dreadful and Lord Oxford for most of the weekend, handling Berit's jobs as board op for both shows, as well as designing Penny as always.
So I'll deal with the Random Ten and Cat Photos now so I can get 4 hours of sleep or so before schlepping B to LaGuardia airport. Fun fun fun.
No comments on today's Random Ten - nothing about whether I'm dropping them from the iPod or not - I'm doing a whole iTunes overhaul as it is now, and I may just blank the whole iPod and start from scratch. There's 26,034 tracks in there now, and I want to get rid of a couple thousand. Here's the ten that come up randomly today:
1. "Up Side" - ? & The Mysterians - The Best Of ? & The Mysterians: Cameo Parkway 1966-1967
2. "Every Night I Dream A Little Dream" - Eirik Wangberg - The Ikon Records Story
3. "Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine" - Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
4. "Back In Judy's Jungle" - Brian Eno - Vocal
5. "Motorbike Beat" - Revillos - Children of Nuggets: Original ARTyfacts from the Second Psychedelic Era - 1976-1996
6. "Mr. Satan" - Thurston Harris - Little Bitty Pretty One
7. "Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin - Remasters
8. "Woodland Rock - T.Rex - History of T.Rex—The Singles Collection
9. "When Love Comes to Town" - B.B. King & U2- King of the Blues
10. "Fedora Satellite" - Pere Ubu - Story Of My Life
And apart from maybe the King/U2 track, these are all keepers anyway, so no reason to make any notes on them today.
Now that the heat's coming back on fairly often, the kitties are enjoying the radiator again - taking turns, and occasionally fighting over it. Here's Moni, taking up as much of it as she can:
And Hooker looking sweet and innocent, for once, having his turn to get really hot:
It was claw-trimming time the other night, so Berit got them and dealt with it. Amazingly, our kitties put up with this ordeal just fine. Usually, and for the most part. Moni got grabbed first . . .
. . . and then Hooker, who usually doesn't mind, but put up a bit of a fight (I think my picture-taking freaked him out):
And then they alternated between their fighting and the way they are the rest of the time:
Okay, off to bed . . .
