To Who's Benefit? August 04, 2004 - 5:24 a.m.

Officially three weeks today since we've had the kitten. We still don't have a litter box and still can't decide on a name. We've brainstormed like crazy, but nothing seems to fit. Hopefully we’ll come up with something soon or she’ll be left with generic names like ‘Kitty’ and ‘Doodoo Face’.

The more she's around, the more it's obvious Chris is becoming attached. Last night he was even making comments about wanting to get her fixed, vaccinated, and licensed. While we were at our funerals Saturday, he left her in the house, all alone. When he came to pick me up, he left her in the house again. We even went to several stores and stayed out for a few hours, and he didn’t tell me she was inside until we were half way home.

In the house. All alone. No litter box.

This is the same person that said he didn’t want her to be indoors too much. He didn’t want an indoor cat, she shouldn’t get used to it, he never wanted animals in the house because of the shedding or annoyances… Think of an excuse, he’s used it.

I was floored when he said he left her inside. And now he keeps making comments about making her a true pet, not just a stray that we get close to and feed.

But I’ve wondered… is this for me? Does he see how I am a different person when there’s an animal around? An animal that I don’t have to go sit out in the heat, just to pet. Have I been in a better mood these past three weeks? Or am I reading too much into it, and he is truly becoming attached to her? He’s admitted he’s not an animal person, so it causes me to have doubts. Then again… she is absolutely adorable. She’s currently curled up under the chair, after sleeping in my lap for the past hour or so.

That’s really all there is to report. There’s nothing new with me. Hell, there rarely is.

Chris got me the XBox Scooby Doo Mystery Mayhem game. I haven’t even played it yet. I can’t remember the last video game I played. Unless you count Peasant’s Quest from the Homestar Site. 140 out of 150. Not bad.

As odd and rare as this is…. I wanna go out. I don’t mean go to a movie or go eat somewhere. Though that would be nice too. I want to go do something silly. Like go to the batting cages or go play Putt-Putt. Go to the park with water guns and balloons. It wouldn’t last long and I’d quickly be annoyed with the heat, but I suddenly have this need to just do something different. In an outdoorsy sort of way.

That or Chuck E Cheese’s. But they suck now and won’t let people in unless they have kids with them. There’s apparently a place near Chris’ mom that’s been described as an ‘adult Chuck E Cheese’s’… if only I could get him to make a trip to visit her, then we could stop in and check it out. Video games and pool tables, crap like that.

And again out of left field, Dead Like Me rocks. Although something seems to be off this season. Only two episodes in, so it’s hard to say for certain. But it already feels like they’re trying to push a moral-per-episode theme. This week’s episode focused a lot on stealing and even on dependencies. Family, alcohol, religion. I hope this doesn’t become a trend, because I really don’t want to watch 7th Heaven, reaper style.
