This is "JC" the Kitten. His story reads backwards actually, so you may want to start with the bottom picture and read "upward" for sanity's sake.

We took him back to JCPenney as previously arranged. We haven't heard if he's been found a home yet, I'll let you know when we hear something.

He's attacking the tape holding together his litter pan. Anne and I were proud (and happy) to see that he instantly took to the litter pan. No messes all night! We like to think we trained him.

This is JC attacking our bathroom cabinet door. Once he got the string he basically went berserk. Everything was a game or toy to him.

We gave him a piece of string and he just played and played and played. He was SOOOO cute.

We gave him food and he ate for a very long time. He must have been hungry.

Anne and I took "JC" home for the night because the store didn't know what to do with him.

This is "JC" the Kitten. He was abandoned with his brother "Penney" at JCPenney's yesterday.

steve's new site

I'm trying to get some stuff done around here so this is brief. Go check out my brother's new website at www.kissingnovember.com. Make sure you use the comment form on the contact page so he knows it works ;-)

They got to her too

So Anne's taken a step out into the social networking novelty of the current internet generation. She's joined MySpace. You can see her little space here.

She didn't ask my opinion, but I gave it to her anyway. I'm not against MySpace. I just think that it's very fad-ish. I can appreciate that MySpace is one of many recent sites pushing the world wide web to a revolution (read more), but someone is going to do a similar thing in a better way and MySpace will be forgotten in a week as everyone migrates to that. I'd rather invest my time doing something more static - like blogging - which I realize is a just a tad hypocritical. (Yes that's right. I linked to my own blog to make sure you get my point.)

Perhaps I'd be less critical if MySpace did what it does better than it does it. She had been setting it up for less than an hour and was already having technical difficulties with the site. I hedged toward an "I told you so" and Anne responded with "well when are you going to write a new one?" I'll put it on my list of things to do.

I guess my other complaint is a stigma that maybe I'm alone on. I think I've heard several times from several people that MySpace was most useful for people just looking to hook up. I, for one, don't get that at all. Since when did the tried-and-true method for finding some action shift to broadcasting yourself in a public setting on the internet? What happened to attempting to meet individual people in social situations like a bar or chess club? I'm reminded of a Red vs Blue (thanks Jon) video comparing real life to internet life. Now there isn't an exact correlation within the video to this situation, but if you're intellegent you'll get my point.

Anyhow, visit her page. Click on some pictures, write her a comment, add her to your friends... or don't.

Anne and I in a little homage to our handy-work. Isn't she cute?!

*EDIT* "She" would not be the pumpkin. "She" is Anne.

This is a shot of our pumpkins. Mine is on the left.

Anne and I finally got to carving our pumpkins. We did it today so unfortunately it's a day late, but you get the point. Mine is on the left.
