May. 14th, 2003 12:44 pmFirst day of summer, minus one. Kitten-based sleep deprivation last night -- he has learned some high-climbing techniques, indeed -- the latest is spending time on top of the stereo speaker atop the 6 foot high bookcase. M. coming down with a cold; introducing him to American decongestants. Poor thing.
Speaking of Scorpy, he is a fair little thing. When he plays fetch with us, he takes turn, bringing it to M. for a few turns, then to me for a few, then back to M. If only he weren't a nocturnal creature.
Clearly putting off chapter revision, the last big project of the semester. Hmm. Spent some time last night/this morning reading some of the stories in Rick Moody's *Demonology*. The first and last, tributes to a dead sister, were particularly touching -- for many years wished I could write about Eric. (Assuming there is an autobiographical connection for Moody, which I realize is w/o evidence, except the deep feeling in those stories, in contrast to some of the others in the collection.)
