Arrr? *quizzical head tilt*

Be today Talk Like a Pirate Day, arrr? Ye international dateline has me befuddled in the noggin. Arr.

I think I'm in love with Lisa Cuddy. I want to work in the pharmacy in her hospital, and in between fighting Doctor House for dead patients' medication, I could lean on the counter and swoon as she clicked to and fro in her incredibly glam suits. I'm looking forward to the new season of House MD, BTW. A lot. Even though it will be lame.

xmmficathon fic is with my beta reader at the moment. lilacsigil is going to mock me for saying this, because she sat through all the tooth-gnashing and wailing, but I really enjoyed writing my fic. This weekend will be fun! I am looking forward to reading good fic that salves the wounds inflicted by X3.

lilacsigil took the cats to the vet today - Aeon has lost a lot of weight, and we were worried she might have a gum infection, or that the younger cats are muscling her out of the food. But apparently (and more frighteningly), her kidney function is down, and she's losing muscle mass. So we've got blood tests and a new diet looming, and possible medication.

Baggins, on the other hand, has two weird bald spots on his hind legs, which are not ringworm. The vet calls them "hoon patches". When he's thundering around the house like a lout and corners badly, he slides on his back legs, which gradually wears off the fur. It's more often seen in dogs, because, the vet says, when something hurts a cat, they stop doing it. But not our cat, no. He has to wear out his upholstery. I'm thinking I might knit him some tiny leg-warmers or something, to go with his handsome coat. (And then one day, a little hat.)
