Corner!!!

by Matt on November 16, 2021 at 12:01 am

What is it about corners that drives cats crazy? Hazel is all about scratching her chin on them. I’ll get home from work in the afternoon, pick her up, and she’ll find a corner on my watch to go to town on.

She also likes to find the corners of books and usually ends up knocking the book out of my hand, causing me to lose my place. Or even worse, she rubs her face on a comic I’m reading and “gasp” bends the pages!

It’s just one of the many strange instincts that cats have. You certainly don’t see people rubbing their chins on random objects … do you?

The Co-Pilot

by Matt on November 9, 2021 at 12:01 am

Many gamers out there might see where I’m coming from when I talk about the unwanted/unnecessary co-pilot. It’s the person who insists on sitting next to you when you’re playing a game and telling you where to go and what to do.

In many cases, they’ll tell you to “go back” into a room you’ve already left because you “missed something.” But you didn’t miss anything. It’s your game and you know how to play it. They, on the other hand, have never touched the game, but are second-guessing your every move. You want to tell them to be quiet, but don’t want to look mean (or maybe that’s just me).

One of my favorite games to come out in recent years is Mass Effect 2, which is all about character interaction and making choices. But it looks like Olive isn’t very good with choices.

Transform and Meow Out

Halloween may have ended a couple of days ago, but Olive still has one last costume to show off.

This actually reminds me of an Optimus Prime costume I put together several years ago with duct tape, cardboard and spray paint. I’m not sure what I was thinking, putting that much time into a Halloween costume. I didn’t even dress up this year - I guess having a newborn in the house will do that to you.

So did anyone create a crazy costume this year? Sound off in the comments!
