The topic: Kewl stuff
----------------------------------------------

I was just farting around with my cellphone, finding new and exciting things to do with it (sometimes I get this wild hair and I start to play with stuff I’ve got and sometimes it can be a learning experience). This since Brian got his replacement phone last week and because it was such a PITA to get stuff done, I just used one of the USB connectors I have and tested to see if it would work with his phone, it did, I found some software online and I was able to save everything from his old phone to the new phone, except the damned ringtones.

Anyway, I was playing with mine this morning and found I can upload pictures from my computer to my phone, instead of paying Cingular $2.49 to do it on their website (which I wouldn’t do). I also found out this morning that if I wanted my cell to ring more than it does (I miss probably 95% of the few calls I get because I never hear the phone before it goes to voicemail) it had to be done via the Cingular office. So, I got that changed. Maybe now I won’t miss so many calls.

Gonna play with the phone some more.

The topic: My first pepper
----------------------------------------------

Isn’t it just adorable? There are a few more growing since I took this picture and I’m quite pleased. I am annoyed, though, that so far there are no tomatoes on the tomato plant. Plenty of blossoms, they’re just not getting pollenated, darn it.

Well, at least CostCo has fairly cheap tomatoes now.

(By the way, if you want to see more pictures of the yard, check the “miscellaneous” category over at the family album.)

The topic: My garage kitties
----------------------------------------------

Angel and Autumn are coming into the house on a more regular basis, not just to poop under the sofa or loveseat (always a joy to clean, they both have reclining seats so the space below them is empty, purrfect for a squatting cat and squat they do, I used the Floormate three times under them to get the poop accompanying urine up).

I caught Angel inside in the mid to late afternoon last week, sleeping on the sofa. She didn’t mind when I sat down next to her, she came over to me wanting me to pet her and scratch her back and neck, then she settled down next to me. The third day I found her there, I walked back to the office to grab the camera, but she ran when I came back and she saw that thing in my hands. I’d love to get a picture of her because she’s one of the most adorable cats I’ve ever seen, she’s just so keeYOOOT!

This was taken in July 2001. As she got older, she got a lot more shy and it became almost impossible to get new pictures of her.

Autumn seems to have moved into the spot in the sleep center that was once occupied by Little Bit. She’ll let me reach in and pet her. This morning I even got her to give me a little “that’s nice” purr.

Maybe someday they’ll be sofa cats 24/7 like the rest of the crew. They’ll lose their “ghost cat” designations.
