The Alternate Lexicon
Photos and stuffs.
First of all, Stina and Dylan and I went to Boo Gardens on the last day it was open for Howl-o-scream (previously “halloscream”), November 1. I meant to try to get this photo the last time we were there, in September, but that proved impossible due to lighting conditions and the horrible crowd. On the 1st it was cold and rainy and the park was empty; we walked onto every ride without trouble. Naturally, the biting rain and my not having slept the night before because I was at work led to a cold, which then got passed to Dylan and then to Stina. Fun times! So, I’d been wanting this shot for a while. Why?
Because I believe that the DarKastle ride may, in fact, have a Monster Blood Tattoo for the sign:
(He has a gaping maw, no?)
In other news, the kitten is gigantic.

Check out the leg-hanging-off-the-table action! He weighs significantly more than the present I sent to Kitty last week, which was 6lb 13oz, and is currently a beast. Not just size-wise, but personality wise. He’s a teenage cat, and his act of rebellion is eating the blinds. And the faucet. And my calves. And, not uncommonly, any cardboard he can reach. He’s charming.
He also does not

the camera.
Now, it is one very important girl’s birthday–she is 23, reducing the quickly identifiable age gap (until April, when it jumps back up to 2 years) and about to graduate from uni/college/what have you.
Happy birthday, love. I’d get you a bubble tea if I could.
I check our blog and I see THIS lovely post? I melt. I am a twenty-threee-year-old puddle of…my god, this image is becoming very unattractive very quickly. Suffice to say, you’ve truly made me smile.
I love you. Best, and most, and always.
Aaaw, your cat is adorable.
One of mine also loves to chew on cardboard. And pretty much anything else he can get his jaws around — he’s actually managed to take a bite out of a particle-board shelf in our laundry room.
