WorkingFebruary 19, 2008
I am at the coffee-shop, and it feels wonderful. I haven't been here in a long time, and this is where my brain says, Yes. Okay. I will work now. I'm sitting in the window, something I can't usually do because of the glare, but it's lovely and overcast, so I can today. I'm smack-dab in the middle of the novel rewrite, and I'm going to work for a couple of hours on it here. Then I'm going to go home and knit and watch TV and look at the rain in the justified manner of a writer who has Done Something. I'm determined that I will wear the Jeanie shawl at Stitches this weekend, and I reckon I have at least twelve more hours of work. Luckily, I have the next two days off, so I will chain myself to the couch and knit my little paws off.
I am devastated about one thing, though. I have been dying to watch Project Runway Canada but have had no time. Now I have the time, and IT'S NOT AVAILABLE ONLINE ANYMORE. I sat down yesterday to pull it up on the Tubes, but it's been removed. I know, pirating is bad, blah blah blah, but I wanted to see it! And I can't buy it, which I would! But it's not on iTunes! Not on Netflix! Very sad indeed.
I will have to make do with catching up with Lost. Which will be fun, I'm sure. Whatever. I wanted Iman.
Harumph. Now to get down to work so I can goof off sooner rather than later.
Your Cat Digit reminds you that:
Yoga. I has it.
Click to embiggen. I think I shall make this shot my desktop.


Wow. I'm still trying to work out which leg normally goes where.

I tried watching Project Runway Canada from the website and got a message that said that I couldn't watch it from the US. So even when it was up, it wasn't watchable from Down Here. There were a few short clips on YouTube, but not whole shows.

I had to look for a minute to figure out which paws started where. What a cutie. And good for you, getting your editing on! I woke up this morning wanting to do just that but not able to, alas.
PS I will give you a dollar to use the word embiggen in your book. ;)

Are you sure some other cat isn't hiding behind Digit, sticking it's little paw in the air, just messing with our minds? 'Cause I cannnot piece that pose together! Crazy cool man.

And the expression! Which clearly says, "What? Can't a cat even wash without the paparazzi showing up?"

I got my PRC fix on YouTube... I think it's still available there!

Wow, Digit looks great, doesn't he? It's heartwarming to see him looking so well.

Digit look like himself again! Ha!

I get a little shiver, a thrill, every time I see Digit looking so healthy and grumpy!
Hooray for Digit!

I love the cat yoga!

Boo hoo! Project Runway and Iman are awesome! :(
What IS Digit doing? I can't tell what is going where.

So when are you coming to Stitches? I'll be there a lot - hope I run into you!

There's a Canadian version?!? I just started watching the American one!
Oh, Mr. Digit looks fabulous. His trimmer physique really shows off his eyes. I hope he appreciates being out of the collar so he can lick his bum like a proper cat.

Oooh, I thought that might have been you that I saw leaving the coffee shop yesterday... I hope you weren't running out because of the loud kiddles I was there with! My little guy was wearing a pair of socks I knitted based on the pattern from your K-1-1 sock class! I wish I'd seen you before you were leaving - I would have come by and shown them off.

I'm in Canada; I'd copy it for you on my DVD recorder...but I'll admit I know nothing about it, if they're showing a current season, etc. Quite often they show last year's series on "Slice" channel. I'd need some guidance on the show, LOL.

Hey Digie, Just this week I manged my very first ever camel pose. Who sez we're too old to learn. Next up the Digit pose. Yup, right hind leg behind shoulder. Wait . . . problem. xox

Digit IS looking great, isn't he? And very supple. I have a crabby and opinionated gray tabby, too, that is just beautiful. Sometimes I think that is her only justification, but I do love her.

How funny! Just yesterday I posted a pic of my cat in a very similar pose, but from a different angle.
Great minds (and cats) think alike!
