Kent "Duh, I Eat Poop" Hovind's "doctoral" dissertation from his mail order university, online!

Gotta love a "doctoral dissertation" that opens with "Hello, my name is Kent Hovind." No, really. I'm not making that up.

If I came with a warning label, what would it say?

Today was a rather adventurous day for Tess. First of all, Tessy is an inside kitty. A very spoiled inside kitty who thinks she's hot shit...until she ends up outside. Which she did last night. Daddy and I finished closing in the back porch this weekend, which meant he was in and out last night, sitting in front of the heater he'd put out there. And, because he had the lights off, and Tess is black, she somehow slithered past at some point and as a result, was howling frantically at the door this morning when my mom woke up.

So, my mom came in to tell me about Tessy's mini-adventure this morning, and of course, my response was, "Awww, what an idiot. Where is she?" and right as I said that, FWUMP. 11 pounds of omg-hello-happy-to-see-you black panther landed on my stomach and started nuzzling me in her adorably aggressive fashion.
( Tess goes to the vet! )

All in all, she doesn't seem to be holding a grudge, surprisingly. Of all our cats, Tessy is the most, well, catlike. She's got the strongest sense of dignity, and has a temper--if you tease or rumple her in some way, she's likely to cut a bitch. She likes affection and attention, but on HER terms only. I figured she'd be mad for at least a couple hours when we brought her home, but if she IS mad, she's not mad at me. Typically, when she sleeps with me, she sleeps at the foot of the bed, close enough to be near her human but certainly not so close it implies that she really wants attention. But when I took a nap this afternoon, I woke up with her curled right up against my ribs, purring loudly. And now she is asleep at the foot of the bed, with Roo (who hates me, WTF) asleep against my legs.

Cats are weird.

I'm bored, and have nothing of consequence to speak of. So here's more Twihard fuckery to hurt our brains with. I've been making a list. *chuckles*

On the milder, yet still disturbing side, is My Life Is Twilight, which is based on the FML format.

If you're not on the aromameet comm, you may have missed that this Friday is the Last AromaMeet (or at least, the last at the Wintergarden Aromas).  

I will be Very Very Late to it, as I have to work 5-9pm. But I will come straight over from work to say goodbye.  

If you want to come to one, this is your Last Chance.

So - New Years' Eve.

Euchronia is not happening, as you know, and a few of us have been working hard to organise something else..

But we have a problem (huston).

We have been unable to secure a venue. We have lost hope. All is dark.

But perhaps, just perhaps.. all is not lost.

Can you help? At this stage all I really want to do is have a party to go to for NYE. Even if it's a BYO affair - if there is a pub, club, hall, backyard, tent, shack.. (you see where I am going here).. It needs to be in Melbourne and it needs to be accessible.

If you have a venue available. If your great uncle has a venue available.. please do let me know. I can do the organising and bring the music.. but we need a place to gather in.

I would hate to see NYE pass without steampunks gathered. Can you help me make it happen?

(Please note - suggestions of "Have you tried XXX" are unlikely to be helpful at this stage, because, beleive me, we have. I am more looking for offers of a venue you know you have access to.)

Here's a picture of a tesla coil Xmas tree to lift your spirits:
