"I wouldn't have done it for you"
Oct. 14th, 2011 12:34 amIt's been a few weeks, and both Moya and I are adjusting to Pilot being gone. The tearing up eased up after the first week or so, and now I just get sad sometimes. My habits have not necessarily caught up with the new reality. I mentally keep thinking of my cat food supplies as for two, so I keep having to remember that it'll last twice as long. I kept emory boards in drawers, because Pilot loved chewing them into destruction, so when I find one in there, it's a reminder of an old catproofing that is no longer necessary (Moya has no interest in emory boards). Etc etc.
Moya may not like being alone, I think, or she's still adjusting; it's hard to tell. Her behaviors have changed somewhat. She's not eating as she did, she seems pickier, perhaps because there is no longer implicit competition for the food, but even when she eats she'll meow like she's starving and I've not fed her, which she didn't do before. She sticks to my side like glue when I get home, literally following me everywhere sometimes, in a way she didn't do before. This eases up after she seems appeased after I've been home a while, but she still mostly keeps me in her line of sight, if not by her side. I used to go hours without seeing her, when she'd be sleeping under the ottoman or in another room. And now she sleeps by my side the night through beginning to end, which also never used to happen. She slept with me plenty, but she'd come and go, and usually wouldn't join me in bed until a while after I had gone to bed. Her meows have changed, too. They are higher pitched and sound more urgent. Overall, she seems ok, but not relaxed, it's like she needs a lot of reassurance. I'll see how she adjusts given more time, but she might just need another kitty friend to keep her company.
ION, this made me grrrr. Up the Career Ladder, Lipstick In Hand -- a study showed people judged women who wear makeup to be more competent. WHAT FUCKERY IS THIS? I don't wear makeup, except to weddings or something, because I just don't give a shit and I have no intention of waking up earlier just to put it on. I'm of Irish blood, I sort of have blush naturally, but as for the rest, kiss my ass whatever is responsible for that snap judgment.
This article, on the other hand, made me laugh -- For Winter’s Storms, a Stay Bag. Here's the best quote: "Preserving your food and beverages in a snowbank is a questionable strategy, unless your strategy somehow involves extremely fat raccoons." HAHAHHA, that is great shit, New York Times, well done there.
This also made me laugh -- It’s Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers. Heeeeeeee. It's Kürbiszeit, aka pumpkin time, aka the best time of year food-wise in Vienna, which makes me miss it. Sigh. Fall should equal plentiful pumpkin cream soup, but alas, not where I live.
Nothing, however, in recent weeks has made me laugh harder than the invisible hula hoop dance on Happy Endings. I heart that show. See it here, if you go a bit over 5:00 in. I have rewound that a dozen times, and it still makes me laugh and laugh.
This made me happy -- Mother Lioness Rescues Cub. Danger! Drama! But with a happy ending.
And now for many, many tv reactions. My DVR and I have been busy together.
( Vampire Diaries spoilers ) As always, I genuinely don't know what is going to happen, and I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

I saw the trailers for this show last season when it started, and the promos just did not make me think I'd like it. I had no interest, and so ignored it, despite watching a great many other SyFy shows. Here is one vital thing they left out:
WELL HI THERE. As soon as I saw him in an LJ picspam, I at last had a compelling reason to give the show a shot, plus the pimping post did its job and intrigued me. And so I gave it a shot, and shortly thereafter mainlined the first and second seasons, and this show ate my brain. ( Haven spoilers )
( Warehouse 13 spoilers )
Other shows I am watching and enjoying: The Secret Circle, Unforgettable, A Gifted Man, Fringe, Nikita. Shows I have on my DVR that I will get around to eventually: Terra Nova, Pan Am, Prime Suspect. Ringer I am watching, but truthfully not always enjoying. Oh SMG and Ioan, I want better things for you.
