Finally Jus and Ayse and I made it to the kitten café, and kittens are wonderful! Sadly most of the kittens that came over to say hi (because we are the right sort of people who sit in the cafe) are already spoken for, but Rotini lovingly savaged my arm, and Bullet climbed all over me and snorfled my ear extensively. I wanted to get to know Katya, who is orange and not stripy and quite chill, but our time was up and we had to let other people adore the kittens. Perhaps we will go again next week.

Kittens give life, so I was energetic enough to walk a few kilometers to Trader Joe’s, which was only out of one thing I wanted (not counting the things that are never in stock because 2021)

Watched: Cowboy Bebop 3: Spike is composed of 117% self-destructive decisions by weight, but Jet is not a whole lot better.

Words: 320.

Yay, we made it to Friday. Somehow, despite the cleaners having to reschedule so I was up two hours early this morning. I didn’t need that brain anyway.

Watched: Cowboy Bebop ep 1. It’s grimy and pretty much everybody dies, so they got the aesthetic perfectly. Casting is also good, at least for the main trio.

Read: Ascension (Minister Faust): Random school teacher from Edmonton gets swept up into the doings of aliens from counter-Earth, complete with unspeakably hot alien princess, urchin in need of rescue, and super-powered warrior monks with glowing weapons. First of a trilogy.

Read: Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret (Judy Blume): Probably revolutionary back when puberty was a mystery never to be spoken of. Both the writing style and the protagonist’s thinking seem young compared to more recent books about characters of a similar age, but maybe that’s because she’s not being dragged to a magical realm in need of saving.

Read: Hover Girls (GDBee): Enthusiastic magical girl plus reluctant magical girl vs flying fish monsters! Complete.

Words: 618 words of actual writing! I have established a reason for my MC to hate the person she went to for help, so her problem doesn’t have to be addressed completely and sensibly. Writing in first person again after writing intensively in close third for a month is weird.
