Kitten home found!

The itty bitty kitty is now someone else’s welcoming committee!

Spooky Cat

Here she is, just a few minutes before her new family came to pick her up. Her name is now Spook, and she’s spreading kitten kraziness to a new home. I hear she’s making the whole family very happy.

Bon voyage, Spooky cat. We were glad to have you here with our motley assortment o’ kitties, but we’re even more glad you’re bringing the pint-sized fuzzy crazy to a new family.… Read more

Moving the Kitten Kolony

One of the Tiger Twins says HIBoy, it got quiet in here. I went from blogging two, three times a day, replete with kitty pix, to nothing. The sad fact of the matter is that, as of Monday night, the kittens have gone “home” – they’ve returned to my sister-in-law’s place, where they have taken over a two-car garage (no joke!) as a training ground for stalking and pouncing and other kittenish activities. It was fun watching them get their first glimpse of a crawling insect – at first they jumped back, and then they started to pursue. And then they ALL started to pursue… one little beetle-esque thingie. Man, I wouldn’t want to be that bug.… Read more

Here comes trouble…

…on a combined total of 32 little furry legs.

KITTENS!

Taxi’s kittens are very mobile and playful now. They’ve been leaving their Secret World Domination Headquarters (seen here) fairly routinely, whether mom wants them to or not. Taxi has her hands (paws?) full just containing the eight little furry monsters and trying to keep track of them.

The kitten invasion has only just begun…they are ready to take over!

So…um…who wants kittens?… Read more

Monkeying around at the zoo

For Evan’s second birthday, he and I went to the Tulsa Zoo. We would’ve gone someplace closer if there was someplace closer; I would’ve driven further if he’d been old enough to be disappointed by the place (more on that below). As it is, he had a blast, caught a little bit too much sun, daddy did a LOT of walking, and, oh, by the way, thank God for rent-a-wagons into which squirmy just-hours-away-from-two-year-olds can be secured and moved around.

Kittenized

The sleepers awaken!

Taxi's kittens

All eyes are now open (when the little buggers aren’t sleeping peacefully through most of the day – it’s tough work being a rapidly-growing kitten…) and we’re walking around on little stubby kitten legs. One or two of them are already having to be nudged back into the box by Taxi… jumping is next. And then, of course, world domination.

Got most of the editing done today on the Atari software programmers’ panel for the Best of CGE ’05 DVD set. It’s a little bit on the epic side – very nearly a full hour and a half – but incredibly interesting, as a lot of questioning from the crowd focuses on the crash, the recovery, and what’s next. And these guys? They knew. Right on the money. It’s really interesting. It’s also interesting to see them talk at great length about the blessing and curse of licensed games, whether movie tie-ins or coin-ops. Let’s just say there weren’t anyone’s favorites from the game-making side of things. Best of CGE ’05 will debut simultaneously at OVGE in Tulsa and CCAG in Cleveland, and if you didn’t know already, you can pre-order any of the DVDs I produce for pickup at either show. (Just wanted to pimp that one more time.) I’m really looking forward to this year’s OVGE event – I like to spend my grown-up get-together time reminiscing about games I played in my childhood. 😆

Remember a few days ago when I pointed out a convergence of releases and/or potential releases by a bunch of my favorite musicians that may well signal the end of the world, or at least my ears exploding in sheer delight? Add one major surprise to that list: Jason Falkner‘s just released a new studio album, once again only on a Japanese label. Considering that his last album released in this manner has never seen the light of day on a domestic label, I might as well try to see if I can find 40 bucks in the couch cushions for this one…… Read more
