We've moved!

For anyone who's looking for us, we've moved! (Told you I'd take action!) You can find us at http://ottawameowmeow.wordpress.com

What the hell is this?! I click on the "next blog" icon, and it takes me to porn sites? Come on! Blogger should not allow this kind of content on here. Now, I'm freaked, cause WebSense blocked it, and I don't want it to seem like I was looking at that! Well, this can prove as evidence, and if they really want to question me about it, I'll just click on the "next blog" icon.

The internet was created as a space for information, education and artistic expression. Meow I know some people will argue that porn is an artform, but I disagree completely. It's demeaning, and disgusting. I'll look for another blog hosting site, and move Ottawa Meow Meow. Neko and I will not have any part in this. We have had it.

Just finished another sudoku puzzle in no time... I've been told to sign up for a solving competition, but that's just not my thing. I do theses to relieve stress, not add more, and I don't seek competition. It's everywhere in life, so why seek it?

Anyways, we're in the middle of a heat wave, which doesn't faze me one bit, but I feel for Neko. She has to wear that thick fur coat of hers, doesn't like water, and lives in a flat without a/c. I give her ice cubes in her water dish, leave the fan on, and shut the blinds. I'll give her an ice pack to lie on when I get home. I don't like to see pets suffer. Anyone who walks their dog in this heat without bringing water for them, or leaves them alone in a hot car, should be forced to put on a dog costume, fur and all, and be subjected to the same conditions. Not so funny meow, is it? This would be a better deterrent than fines and tickets. I mean, they pay, then they might do it again, but if they were forced to wear a dog suit, and sit in a hot car, then they might remember.

I don't know about anyone else, but I think some members of society are on the decline. Not all, but some. In the news yesterday, some guy beat his daughter's pregnant cat to death. Meow, what kind of sick and twisted individual is that? Beating a cat? A pregnant cat? I'd like to beat him with a tire iron if I could, but it would not be worth the jail time. News like that just makes me really sick, and it takes a lot to get me this angry, as I usually display indifference towards the news.

Well, that's enough of that. Shit happens, that's why toilets were invented.

Cat sounds

It's amazing to hear the wide range of sounds that cats make. Neko has at least 20 different vocalizations, if not more. If I figure out how to put audio on here, I will upload some. for example, she goes "mrr" when she jumps, "mmphh" when she gets a shot, and let's not forget her heat noises that keep everyone on our floor up all night! I have never heard anything like it, and I've pretty much owned cats all my life. Although, the cats of the 21st century are much smarter than those born before. The cat downstairs goes "row row roww?" when I call his name. It's like he's trying to talk. I should do some research and studies on cat sounds, as it could be interesting and useful to know.

I don't know what to write here, so it's time to let the fingers take over. Let's see... I've written countless times about cats, communist cats, how everything at home reveolves around Neko.., mao mao mao. Well, this is a cat blog, written by a real live kitsune, so what else can I say? things are going good here at work, I don't have anyone hovering over my shoulder like at my last job... that was just too much pressure for me. this is a welcome change. The creative cats don't meow when I'm under stress, so they're back now.

day 2

it's day 2, and so far, so good. They've been giving me things to do that are constructive, and help pass the time. This will be a good month. Next week, it will be a long weekend, as Canada day is sunday, so I get Monday off!! Sweet. I can take Neko for a bike ride around the museum grounds (close to my complex). She would like that. She likes to get out, but is deathly afraid of other cats. I think we'll go pick some strawberries this evening, after work. It will have cooled down by then, and we'll have some sweet local berries. (no other cats there, either). I don't understand why Neko likes doing people things, and not cat things. She must think she's human, just cause I can communicate with her.

working again!

Well, today is my first day at my new contract, and it seems to be going well. It's not very complicated. It's so nice to finally be out of the house, and working. I have an hour for lunch, so that gives me plenty of time to go to the library, and walk around downtown. I think I'll enjoy this month. Too bad I don't get paid until next week, when my contract will be half-over. At least I don't have all those blockers on here, I can work on my cv, and not get stuck again.

Neko, can you see the difference?

I sure can!!! I mean, Neko, I am not Mao! For the last millionth time, stop calling me that!! You can say Meow, or Mew, which is a lot closer to Mitsu, than Mao!!! You little commie cat!!! It's starting to get annoying, Neko. I'll have to get your eyes checked if you keep this up.

My keyboard is pissing me off!!

I have one of those bilingual keyboards, and it automatically switched to French mode, while I was typing up my last post. Maybe I can go back and fix it....

SWEET!!!

I have sweet news!! I landed tix to go see Benny Benassi at Heaven, on July 22nd!!! SWEET!!! I'm really into electronic music, and the last time he was in Ottawa, it was sold out. Meow, I found out early, and managed to get some tix! They were 40$ each, and the show's not till next month, so they might be more later. But I have absolutely no intention of selling these, I am going there to have fun, and listen to some kick ass beats!! I'm going with my hottie, of course. Sorry Neko, but cats aren't allowed in the club. You'll just have to make do with listening to my Cd's.

Smashed up

Yesterday, I didn't post anything, as I had a nasty little accident. I jumped off my board, then twisted my ankle out. That hurt like a bitch, and now the rest of my week off is screwed! I have to use crutches to get around, I can't maneuver the damn things!!! I can't drive either, not until Monday, when I go back to work. My hottie doesn't want me moving around much, but I still get up and limp around my flat. There's just nothing else to do. I want to do stuff on the weekend, and I think I'll be ok with just a brace on. I hate those freaking crutches!!! I intend on recovering fast, but I don't think I'll be skating for a while after this. Oh well, I'm going to do my nails now, there's nothing else to do sitting around here.

SWEET!!!!

This morning, I got the best wake-up call ever!!! I found out that I got the secretary job at CDIC!!! Freaking SWEET!!! I start Monday, so at least I get to enjoy the rest of this week off, without all the stress. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, so they say. I'm glad cause it's all good timing, and I beat out the other candidates.... I can't believe it! I mean, I've been crap in interviews before, but this was much easier. It wasn't one of those "what do you have to offer, where will you be in 5 years" types of interview. It was more or less, do you have experience in this, and they made me speak French to see how good it was. Must have been ok, otherwise they wouldn't have given me the contract. Meow, to enjoy the nice weather.

My Commie Cat

I think that Neko could be a communist. It's not just me, my hottie thinks so too. She likes to sleep on this red blanket, and prefers red toys to other colours (which is odd, as cats are colourblind). She keeps calling me Mao, as well. I know, she's just meowing, but most of the time, it comes out as "Mao". It's strange, as I believed that cats were not politically inclined in any way, shape or form. Why couldn't she be a conservative, like me? We're trying to figure out how she became a commie. Maybe she was born in a communist house, where they talked about Mao all the time, but how could she know about him? He died over 30 years ago! Well, we might just be over analyzing this, as she also says "meow", "may", "no", "myeah", and "miai". Cats have various vocalizations, but it's kind of creepy when she's in heat, howling, and going "Mao, Mao, Mao". We'll never know about her political affiliations, as cats don't vote or campaign in elections.

I had an interview this morning at CDIC, hopefully I'll have the job...Just a matter of waiting now. If I do get it, I'll start next Monday. Now, moving on to other things, I accomplished the impossible this weekend... I learned to ride a bike!!! It's pretty tricky to learn at my age, but with the help of some websites, and my persistent hottie, I was doing circles around our complex last night!!! I bought an old beater for 40$ on Friday night, stripped it down, took all the nasty ass pink paint off of it, and repainted it blue. It runs great!! Now, I have to go fix the squeaky brakes. I tried coasting on Saturday night, and last night, I could push off, pedal around, and jump speed bumps!! This goes to show that you're never too old to learn anything new.

I don't know how someone can willingly not work. It's only been my 3rd day now, and I'm bored and stressed. I'll call some of the agencies, and tell them that I'll take anything except service at this point. I have a car to pay for, rent, food, bills etc. I can't just sit around. It's making me rip my hair out!!!

Horny cat

(this is a parody of Fantastic Cat, inspired by Neko).

Horny cat,

why do you strut 'round like that?

Horny cat,

why must you call like that?

Hoo hoo hoo, horny cat!

Horny cat,

you howl and keep me up all night!

Horny cat,

look, the way you act just isn't right!

Hoo hoo hoo, horny cat!

You are a cat that's in heat today,

rolling on the floor making a funny face.

Little cat, with no other interests,

than getting a tom cat to bang you in here!

Horny cat,

you've been at this over a week.

Horny cat,

you are a sex-crazed furry freak!

Hoo hoo, you're a horny cat!

Are you OK? Here we go!

Horny cat,

one day I'm gonna get you fixed.

Horny cat,

I want to get a good night's sleep.

Hoo hoo, horny cat!

Horny cat,

What gets you so turned on like that?

Horny cat,

Is it the weather that we've got?

Hoo, horny cat! Horny cat,

why do you strut 'round like that?

Horny cat,

why must you call like that?

Hoo hoo, hoo hoo, Hoo hoo, hoo hoo,

Hoo hoo, you're a horny cat!

Horny cat, horny cat (fades out).

stress...

well, I've only heard from one agency today, and it's not a sure thing... I hate it when they do that. Now, if I don't hear back, I should give them a shout... I think I'll do that now. I'll never quit another job again, as long as it's not in the service industry. I probably didn't get this one, as I don't have experience, blah blah blah.

Stress, Stress, Stress...

Tomorrow's Monday, and I still don't have anything lined up yet. I got such short notice, I mean, how are you supposed to find a job in 1 week? Even the agencies need more time than that... I'm just absolutely positively sick and tired of this! I would usually be in bed by now, but the stress is getting to me, and I can't sleep (or type without making typos). I hate having to pop pills all the time, especially since you can become dependent on them. I have different kinds, that I alternate in between, as to not create a dependency. I was doing great for the past 3 months, i only needed one occasionally. I guess the sleep problems come up when I am under stress. Now, to turn off the PC and try to enjoy some manga while waiting for these suckers to take effect...Then it will all be spacey and trippy, maybe I will dream of little fuzzy balls, and wake up and find myself in the defensive ball position...

22

So, I'll be 22 tomorrow, but it really does not make much of a difference at this point. In the workplace, the magic number is 25, that's when you start getting taken seriously and you get a little more respect. I don't feel like I'm gettig that much older, and I feel older than 22, with all this stress in my life. Most people my age are still partying, in Uni, and having a good time. I graduated last June, and now I feel a bit ahead of myself. It's true. I've never seen it this way before, but I do have all older friends, my hottie is older than me, and probably the only young things that I do, are playing video games, skating and clubbing... I don't want to waste my life, but it's been done. I'm living the life of a 32-year old instead. But this is the way it will always be, as I'm not going to have any kids, or anything like that. So, maybe when I'm old, I'll feel like I'm living the life of someone younger. Well, it's all good, it's ok being the crazy young cat lady.

tired of this

I'm beginning to get tired of it here, and the closer my end date gets, the more I want to leave. I can sense something here, and it doesn't feel right. It's almost like being paranoid, as if the wall have ears (which they most likely do). This place is a gossip farm, no doubt about it, and being the youngest here does not work in my favour. This is why we should have diverse workplaces, with a variety of ages and genders. (it's all women here, which can explain a lot). You never know who is with you, or against you. This is almost like office Survivor. I just want to be in a healthier work environment.

When Cats Kiss

This is what it feels like when cats kiss,

Whiskers tickling your face,

Little wet tongue on your neck.

This is what it sounds like when cats kiss,

Purring noises in your ears,

Meows waking you from your deep sleep.

This is what it looks like when cats kiss,

A cat face really close to yours,

Yellow eyes staring intently.

This is what it is when cats kiss.

Beware of Cat v.2

Remember I mentioned the smoke alarm test on the 5th? this was my sign:

Beware of Cat

this was the response:

Thanks for warning us! That cat is vicious!

Falling asleep

It's now 11:37, and I'm falling asleep. I'm trying to make it through, but the cold has got the best of me. I don't know why we have such extreme conditions here... just 1 more day. I'm not excited about leaving, but I'll be glad not to freeze. It has just been the most boring day ever. I haven't had anything to do, and I'm sick of surfing the net and playing sudoku. How can cats do it? Just sitting around at home all day? I suppose it's not so bad for them, they can at least find stuff to entertain themselves. I know that Neko has parties, as the radio's always turned up when I get home. I turn it on low when I leave, so how does it get so loud? Cats have strange ways. *yawns* When will this day end? I'd much rather have work, than to sit around like this!!! My head is aching with boredom! It's driving me up the wall! I'm also freezing my ass off! Ok, now I'm getting too exclamation-point happy. I'll try and slip out early again, as there's nothing to keep me here. I'll leave at 1530. I'm planning on getting a hair cut this aft, as it's now too long to spike >_<. This is pissing me off. I'm just rambling on here, trying to kill time. No wonder no one reads my blog, it's just senseless rantings of me on Prozac. I think I'll make up a story later, or maybe a poem or something. Most likely about cats, or maybe some more cat devices.

Office hypothermia

So, they're driving me out by freezing me out!!! It is just freezing in here today! I haven't removed my jacket, and I have the space heater blasting at my feet, but I'm still frozen. I mean, if others find it cold in here (not just me) then it is cold!!! Last week, they all left early because it was too hot...I wonder if we can leave early because it's too cold? I swear, I'm going to come down with hypothermia, after sitting in this for 8 hours. I can't even type, my hands are frozen, and I think I have frostbite on my toes. How am I supposed to use the washroom if it's this cold? Turn off the damn AC!!! I have the sniffles now! It's cool outside, but possibly warmer than in here. If I get sick today, I am suing!!!!

So, it's over for the Sens. The little black duckie was in the wrong hands. Well, there's always next year, and hopefully it will be a different team, maybe even a Canadian one! Then the loss won't be so bad. This was definitely a national pride thing. It wouldn't have been so bad if Toronto won, for example.

I was trying out other blog sites, to see how user-friendly they are, but most of them aren't! Too complex for me. Too bad this site doesn't have more options like different layouts, nicer fonts, etc. I would like this to look better.

it's almost over here... just 2 more sleeps. In a way, it will be nice to find something more exciting than this. Hopefully, I'll work somewhere where the commute isn't so long, and where I'll have regular access to a Timmy's... it would be nice to have some decent coffee around here. It's freezing out today!!! This is unseasonable weather!!!!!! I can't wait till it warms up, and it would be sweeto to have some warm weather on Friday.

The little black duckie

I was mentioning earlier that I possess the power of the little black duckie. Well, let me explain. It was Satruday night, so my hottie and I went downtown to watch the Sens game on the street. They were playing the Ducks, and in a slump again. We were strolling down Elgin St, and we passed the Sugar Mountain candy store. I was disussing getting a "dead duck" earlier in the week, but I hadn't acted on it. So, we went in, asked the girl if they sold any, and she wasn't sure, but she checked. It was the last one, in the window. Apparently, they were pretty popular for Sens fans. They're black, with a pale green beak, with blood dripping out one corner, and x's for eyes. I bought it, then put it on a shoelace to make a noose. It had to have some sort of power, because as soon as I did that, and went up and down the street showing it to people, the Sens started scoring, and took the lead! Sweet! i think the Ducks got one in that time, but it was done. The Sens won 5-3. After the game, everyone on the street was going crazy, and we just walked around, cheering, and I was pointing at the duckie on a noose, getting cheers and laughs form passers by. It was a great night. We got tired of walking at about 1 am, so we got back in our car, and drove around honking, like everyone else (the game ended at about 11pm, but everyone was still pumped). I had the dead duckie hanging out the window (tied to my hand), and still getting cheers. At the corner, when we passed by, someone snatched it right out of my hand!! I felt a strong tug on it as we went by. No one had tried to take it from a moving car before, and we passed many crowds! I went back to see if I had just dropped it, but it was gone. We just gave up and went home. Last night, when the Sens lost again, it dawned on me... that duckie was lucky! I mean, it was the last one there, and the Sens came back after it was in my possession! Then again, it's not just any lucky device, I held the power of the little black duckie. It's powerless in the wrong hands. Unfortunately, it is in the wrong hands, and there is no way to get it back before tomorrow. I can't just buy another one, as it does not have any powers. It was only this one that was enchanted. Oh well, let's hope the Sens can do it without the duckie in my possession...Now, to wait and see.

Useless powers

I'll just mention what some of my useless powers are. They don't do me any good, I don't know why I even have them.

• I have an innate ability to fix computers, software, and programs (well, that can be useful at times).
• I can sense things. I'm not psychic, but I can sense when something is not right, or is about to happen.
• I can skateboard. This serves no purpose at all, but it does help in looking cool.
• I can communicate with cats. This way, they always talk to me a lot. Even strange cats who don't know me will chat.
• I do complex origami.
• I speak Japanese. This might be good if I ever get lost in Japan, but it's useless in Ottawa.
• I possess the power of the little black duckie. It was stripped from me on Saturday, and it is useless in the wrong hands (I will elaborate later).

These are only a few, there are probably more that I haven't discovered yet.

Another change

For those of you who have been trying to locate mitsuneko.blogspot.com (I doubt if anyone was), it's now ottawamewmew. Just thought it would be appropiate, as I am a cat lady, in Ottawa, with useless powers. I have the perfect storyline for an anime series here. Actually, just so that Tokyo Mew Mew doesn't sue on copyright infringement, I'll change it to Ottawa Meow Meow. Little kitties mew, but big cats MEOW!!!

Beware of Cat

Today, they're supposed to be entering my apartment when I'm not home, to check the smoke detectors...Why? Every time I cook, the damn thing goes off! So, anyways, the notice said that all pets must be secured, but I was not going to lock Neko into the bedroom for the whole day. I called the office yesterday, and the little Russian lady said "ya, cat, is ok. Just put note on the door". So, this morning, before heading out, I put up a "Beware of Cat" sign!!! That will be funny! Now, if only I could see the looks on their faces when they come to the door and see that sign, then when they walk in, it's just a little tiny cat going "Meow" very loudly!!

One positive thing about this, is that I know for sure that I am not being let go due to any faults of my own. It's just that it's too slow around here, so they don't want to pay someone to sit around and blog all day. I can understand that. Oh well, I'm not too concerned, as they won't have my technical support services anymore!!!! If a computer or a system doesn't work, they'll have to call the help desk, and not get an answer till the next day!!! They won't have the convenience of just having me walk over and take a look at it, and have it fixed in 5 minutes!!! Serves them right!

So, I found out today that my contract will not be renewed here. What a piss-off! I had been told that I would get renewed for 20 weeks, and I was actually looking forward to it. Now, I have one week to find something for Monday morning. such short notice, and what a birthday present that is! Finding out that my contract ends on my birthday this Friday!! I am extremely furious about this, but I can't let it show. That is my life, constantly getting screwed over. Now you see why I can't trust anyone... I hate being led on like this. What bugs me here, is not the fact that it is over, but the fact that I was led to believe that there was something good about all this. Nothing good ever happens to me. At least I have lots of Prozac to take to get me through the week here. And some good references out of this.

I'm wandering alone in an open space, looking around for a human trace. Along the edge of this satellite losing the route in this empty sky. A prey of the ghosts of this galaxy, losing myself in this ecstasy. No clock is turning to sign the time, everything's floating through day and night. No noises breaking my silent star, I'm on the run, I can go so far. Flying in absence of gravity, feeling the vibe of eternity. This is the lesson I had to learn, this is the treasure I had to earn. I am the owner of Nowhere Land, Queen of the castle that's made of sand. Staring in front of the universe, maybe someday I'll be someone else. I'm sure I'll do it but till that day, here on my star, I am just a castaway... This is a song by the Benassi Bros., but it describes me perfectly. I do feel like I'm from outer space, just wandering around aimlessly

CAT KISSES Sandpaper kisses On a cheek or a chin-

That is the way

For a day to begin!

Sandpaper kisses A cuddle and a purr I have an alarm clock That's covered in fur! -Unknown

I don't post much on the weekends, it's just that there's too much to do, instead of being on the PC. the weather is nice, the leaves are out... why stay holed up inside? I'm going out to have my lunch in a bit, enjoy the nice weather and the scenery. I've never worked in a place that has such a nice view before!

a new addition

Last night, we had a new addition to our crew... a little fuzzy hamster. We were considering getting one to entertain Neko, so we picked one out. He has got to be the most energetic thing ever! All I could hear, was his running around the cage and on his wheel. Neko was so fascinated by him, watching him run around, and around. I want to get one of those balls to put him in, and let Neko go crazy!! My hottie decided to name him Boris, as he was a "russian" hamster, one of those little tiny ones, not the big ones that look like rats. I think it's so cute when he gets into a little defensive ball! teh best thing is, he's not afraid of Neko! She kept sticking her nose in the cage, and he would just sniff her. She sneezed on him twice this morning... I might have to return him if she's allergic.

Cat devices

I know, I have strange acronyms and terms for anything and everything cat-related. I'll share some of them, maybe you cat people will like some of these, and might even use them! CSD: cat-spraying device, or in other terms, a spray bottle (my most used one) CR: cat-restraint, a cat harness CCD: cat-containment device, or a pet taxi CEU: cat-entertainment unit, or a parer bag/cardboard box Cat-stopping device: a door stopper, although it doesn't really stop the cat, just prevents it from closing the door and getting locked out of the bathroom. Cat-refueling station: the area where food and water bowls are placed. Cat restroom: self-explanatory. Lastly, I have a sign in my window that says "This apartment is protected by FSA." It seems like it's an alarm company, but it means Feline Security Agent. She will meow and wake us all up!!! I know you must be wondering why I came up with these, it was Neko's intelligence that made me. One day, I said to her, "you scratch the screen again, and I'll use the cat spraying device". As she heard the last 3 words, she took off, and hid under the table! Now, if I say CSD, she won't know, but it's just a matter of time until she catches on!!!

I wonder if anyone even looks at my blog, there are no counters to keep track, and no one has left any comments (although it is better that way, people can be rude). Oh well, it's here for you to enjoy, as you please. Neko has been acting really strange lately, and I think she could be in heat again. She talks incessantly, complains about being lonely and frustrated, so on and so forth. I've had to use my CSD (cat-spraying device) on her just to shut her up. She doesn't like it, but it has to be done, and I don't like doing it either. I have never heard such a thing in my life, and now I know why people don't like horny cats! Although, it definitely beats the whining and crying of a baby... I am genuinely afraid of those. Probably one of the few things that will scare me, along with bees, wasps, and other ugly flying bugs. I'm just letting my fingers do the talking here. I hope Neko behaves tonight, or she gets the CSD again!!(I'll let my hottie use it, he likes that thing, and abuses it).

I have this odd craving for sushi now. I mean , I haven't had it in a month or so! I'll have to get some this weekend, before heading to the big party downtown... Sushi o kudasai!!

Here I am, at work again, just bored out of my mind. I shouldn't complain though, as it could be much worse. At least, I have some time to think around here. When I get home, it's constantly a rush, just being in such a hurry all the time. Between working out, cat time, and all the other daily routines, it feels like there are just not enough hours in a day, which is why I blog from here. I hardly touch my home PC. Once again, I have to ask myself, why do we do this? Society has imposed this on us, and there is no way around it. I'm just going to keep on working, but that is it. I've decided that I'm not going to fall into the family trap that so many of us are slaves to. I want cats, not kids, and I will have more cats, once I get a bigger place. That will be sweet. I'll dedicate myself to beings that will not hurt me. Well, that's my opinion.

cat kisses

Neko has the potential to be one of the most annoying things living in my home (my boyfriend takes 1st place, though). This morning, at around 3 or so, she starts purring and giving me cat kisses... How irritating!!! First of all, this is such a bad time, no one in my building is awake at this hour, and they shouldn't be!! Secondly, what is the point of Neko kissing me at this time? If she wants to show her love for me, do it during normal waking hours!!! I tell her to cut it out, and she just looks at me and laments... I mean, she is an alarm clock that goes off at 5 am, weekday or not, and that's fine. But cat kisses at 3 am? Give me a break!!

Look at the upper left corner... there's Web Neko!!

Neko

I just decided to change the title so that it would be more representative of what I think. What's the meaning of all this? I mean, we compete with everyone, for no reason at all, and we get nowhere at the end of it. I came to this realization, while driving home last night. I got cut off, and road raged at, for what? So that we can get home, wake up tomorrow and do it all again? Now, I'm not being preachy or anything, but why is everyone so bitter? I don't go around getting pissed at anyone or anything, cause it's a waste of time. I just mind my own business, and try to lead an inoffensive life. Now, this will give you more insight into why I'm such an animal lover. They don't judge you, or offend you in any way. I have never heard a dog diss me, or a cat pick on me.

I decided to change the look of my blog. I don't really like any of these templates that much, but as they say, black goes with anything.

Typos!!!!

I'm just looking over my blog, & I've noticed there are so many typos!!!! I don't intentionally do this, but it just happens, when I'm trying to type at lightning speed so that I don't get caught. I mean, I am at work here!

skate deck pt. 2

I'm almost done painting my skate deck, and it's looking SWEET!!! A light blue background, with a big-ass orange koi fish, and a tribal design behind it. I enede up getting trucks and wheels last night, so it should be complete tomorrow!!! Things are so much nicer when you design them yourself!

At Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of meadows,hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.There is always food and water and warm Spring weather. Those old and frail animals are young again. Those who have been maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other. Some of them here by the Bridge are different. These pets were beaten, starved, tortured, and unloved. They watch wistfully as their friends leave one by one,to cross the bridge with their special person. For them there is no one, no special one. Their time on earth did not give them one. But one day, as they run and play,they notice someone standing by the road to the bridge. This person wistfully watches the reunions of friends,for during life, this person had no pet. This person was beaten, starved, tortured, and unloved. Standing there alone, one of the unloved pets approaches,curious as to why this one is alone. And as the unloved pet and the unloved person get nearer to each other,a miracle occurs, for these are the ones who were meant to be together,the special person and the beloved pet who never had the chance to meet while on Earth. Finally, now, at the edge of the Rainbow Bridge, their souls meet,the pain and the sorrow disappears, and two friends are together. They cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated. Author - Unknown I'm not really into poetry, but I thought this was nice.

skate deck

Well, I've thought of what I want to design, and I made a sketch of it. I'm going to paint a koi fish (probably orange) with a black tribal design behind it, and a tag at the bottom that says "sushi". I was surfing the net for inspiration, and I thought that was the most original thing to be on a skate deck. I'll take a pic of it once it's done and post it on here. After work, I want to go check out some trucks and wheels for this. It's just for cruising, not for tricks or anything. I might get some new grip tape as well... I want this to be the sweetest recycled skateboard thee is!!!

GO SENS GO!!!!

pigeon

Here's a story I forgot to tell... the pigeon that I found on Friday night. It was late, around 10 or so, and we were headed out to go clubbing. In our building parking lot, there was this pigeon just lying there, not moving. I went up to it, and noticed that it was still alive, but hurt. We tried to move it, but it got all agitated and was flapping around, and couldn't take off. We picked it up, and hid it in the grass right by. We came home a few hours later, and I was concerned about his well-being. I mean, no living being (other than mean, rude, nasty people) deserves to suffer that way. I didn't want him to get eaten by a raccoon or have a crow pick his eyes out! I convinced my boyfriend to help me do this, so we found a box, put the bird in it, and put him in my trunk. I called the by-law services,and they gave me the number for a wild bird care centre. Saturday morning, I checked on Pidgey, and he was still alive and strong. I called the centre, to let them know we were coming, then we went over and dropped him off. The lady there said he could survive, and told me to call back in 2 days to see how he was doing. I'll keep you posted on this, but what was the best part of this, was hearing Pidgey talk to me on my way out of the centre. As I was leaving, he let out a little "proo", which I'm sure, is his way of saying "thank you".

another day

Here I am, at work again, another long day in this place... If only I would have some work to do, that would definitely pass the time. The weekend was nice, just chilling with Neko, hearing her express herself. I've been busy creating a design for my skate deck, which I intend to paint, and have on the road by this weekend! I think i should either do a tribal design, or "Mitsu*Neko" in graffiti font... decisions, decisions. Anyways, the Sens will be playing Game 1 tonight against the Ducks, how exciting!!! I might just head downtown tonight to see all the commotion for myself, instead of watching it all at home. Maybe I'll take Neko with me, she likes going out. Anyways, time to make some Origami, it's what I do when I'm bored at work, then, as more staff decides to show up, I'll ask if they could use my help...I get paid a lot to do nothing but blog all day!

NIHAO!!!

Nihao!! I'm Neko, Mitsu's little cat!!! Have you ever heard that fantastic cat song? "Fantastic Cat, I am a cat that's like a girl" that was about me!!! I like playing with paper balls, talking, and sunbathing. It gets boring here when my people are out, so I sometimes have cat parties...They can't understand where all the catnip comes from!! mrr! Right now, I'm just being cute!! meow!!! I;m just glad that Mitsu picked me, I would not want to be in a house where it's not all about me-ow!! That's it for now, I have to go run all over the couches, and bug everyone!!! mrrow! NeKo

Sashimi

I've been talking about my cat, but I didn't mention that I own 9 fish as well. My bettas have got to be my favorites, as they actually have personality. Last summer, I had a blue betta named Sushi. He had to be the smartest fish around. He learned to come to the surface when I called his name, he would follow my finger and flare up on command. I didn't meet Neko yet, so I spent about 15 minutes each day, playing with him before feeding him. Unfortunately, Sushi was lonely. He was alone with only a chinese algae eater, who would not pay any attention to him. One day, I came home, and I didn't see him. I asked my boyfriend, "Where's Sushi"?!! He found Sushi on the floor, dehydrated but still alive. We put him in a glass of water, and added some stress coat. He swam around a bit, but his fins were all stiff, not flowing like they should be. The next morning, Sushi died. Poor Sushi, attempting suicide like that. In a couple of days, I went to Petsmart to get another betta. I wanted a smart one, so I picked out the 3 best looking ones, pushed their cups together, and waited to see who would flare first. The one who did, was a spiky-finned red betta, who seemed very active. I chose him, and took him home. We named him Sashimi. Sashimi is still alive, up until now (it's been 9 months) and is as agressive as ever. He's not smart, as he flares, all day, at nothing but the wall, but he will come to the surface when I come close. He attacks his food, as if he thinks he's a piranha or something. He only lives to fight, I think. Oh well, at least I can rest assured that a dumb, angry fish will not commit suicide, but to be sure, I've put a lid on the aquarium!

1 more hour!!

The day has been so dead here!!! Everyone's away on meetings, and since it's Friday, they've all deserted early!! Personally, I'm going to be good, and stay for 1 more hour, like I should. The weather is absolutely freaking sweet!!! 30C degrees outside!! I've been waiting all year for this, but as you know, Neko is complaining. Yesterday, she went on about how it's too hot under her fur, and wah wah wah! I threatened her with a cold shower, that shut her up fast! Now, if only people were that easy to deal with. I'm probably going to end up posting lots up here before I head out, as there is no one in except my boss, and she's downstairs. Now to keep this short and sweet.

This is Neko, my cat and best buddy. She always has a lot to say, as she's quite opinionated and has an attitude. I've had cats in the past, but none have communicated with me like Neko has. She's the one who told me to start a blog, so that I could get her face out there. I mean, my Facebook page is mostly Neko pics, along with a couple of me and my friends. What can I say? She wants desperately to be a star, and the centre of attention!!

Konnichi Wa!

Hey there! This is Mitsu, and I'm just creating my new blog, while bored out of my mind at work. Neko is at home right now, probably having another cat party as I'm out for 10 hours... Anyhoo, just getting into this...thought it would help pass the time. About me: I'm a government worker in Ottawa, Canada (no surprise there!) living with 2 pets: my boyfriend, and my cat, Neko (who will post here later). I must admit... I'm a hockey-crazed cat lady, and I will post the pictures to prove it! Well, I should go for now, I don't wanna get caught, or else they may block tis site too... Sayonara!! ~GO SENS GO!!!!!!~
