Friday the beginning.

Scrambling to get ready for work this morning, which is my usual routine, got a call from my boss that when they did the tally of my time card this morning I would end up with an hour of overtime if I worked my 8 ours today. So was asked to come in an hour late. Times are tough, we’re not allowed even a minute of overtime. And suddenly I had an extra hour on my hands. If only I had known about it earlier I would have used it for sleeping.

Anime night did occur last night, though we got a very late start on it because The Office started up again, and Karen and I both are big fans. Finally started watching some Nana but were only able to get 3 episodes in. Watching the Nana anime with people is interesting for me, since I’ve already read all the available manga. It’s refreshing, but then I already know what’s going to happen through the entire series and beyond, as the manga is ongoing. Going back to the beginning of the story gives a new perspective on how things are leading up to bigger events, and the narrative has a much greater importance to me now.

Got started on that NES controller project, which went well. Got all the plastic measured and cut out, and started on the stitching. I’m amused that as I cut every thing out, I though to myself “I’ll have this done in no time”. After four hours of stitching, I barely made a dent on the first piece. Glad I started working on it now. Will try to remember to take some pictures.

Perhaps I’ll write more later, feeling chatty today. But in the meantime here’s the Crazy Cat Lady Photo of the Day:
This features my old girl Nyx, doing her best to fit into the door of the makeshift kitten fort I made for the little monsters. Eventually I ended up cutting a bigger hole for the door so she could get in.
