Grants and Kitten Reiki

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

For a couple weeks now, Kip has been busy writing a grant proposal.  This apparently, will get him some money to join any lab that he wants at Brown.  He has been stressed and I have been trying to help him cope by laying on his lap when he sits on his desk.  I don’t like it very much when he types while I sit there.  I noticed that his legs start to twitch when he does not know how to continue his thoughts.  I like to put my paw on his arm at this very moment to assure him that the thought will come.  This is called "Kitten Reiki".  I learned it from Mama Schellenberg.  She is pretty good at it - not Kitten Reiki, but Human Reiki.  Sometimes, this new method will help Kip, but sometimes he just gets annoyed at me and I have to leave his lap.  Let me tell you something, though: While these last couple weeks have been hard on him, I have been feeling busy as well.  It is not an easy task to keep one of your favorite humans appeased and happy.  let’s all hope that he gets the grant and then, I am sure, he will have more time to pet me again.

Soxies rule

Monday, October 29th, 2007

I am honestly not much of a baseball fan (B is literally been obsessed with the game the last two months.).  This is why:

1. It is too loud.
2. Someone is always screaming.
3. There are bats flying everywhere.
4. The boyz have cleats on.
5. There are too many commercial breaks.
6. I prefer B being less excited at night.
7. Kip moves too much around on the couch when the game is on.

But the Soxies won last night and I should have at least one post about it or B will be upset.  Since I did not watch the game (I was hiding in my upstairs room.), I will at least post some of my thoughts about the after celebration.

This guy is crazy and I hope he never visits us.  He seem really tall and loud and  have seen him dance.  Not pretty.  B thinks he is fun.  Sigh!

Veritek always jumps on Papelbon.  It is never the other way around.  Even though, one would think that the catcher is really the man and should be jumped on.  I personally would prefer to jump on Veritek over Papelbon.

Does Coco look like a black Richard Simmons in this pic, or what?

That is one big cigar.  I wonder if it is a Cuban and who is that guy anyway?

Dice-K is cute.  He seems gentle and humble.  He also has a special handshake that he does with Big Papi.  I would definitely let him pet me.

This is Jakoby and he is B’s favorite.  Mainly because he was called up from Pawtucket.  So, he is sort of a home grown hero.  By the way, why do they always say "called up from…".  They could "drive up from…" or "Fedex up from…" or even "Taxied up from…"

Kip likes Kashi, but this may change his mind.

Hiatus

Dearest friends and admirers (I hope I have some),

I am back and this time, I will stay.  My sincerest kitten meows for missing almost two months of blogging.  I had my reasons and I won’t make any excuses, just a big lion roar from Pawtown to let you know that blogs are forthcoming.

Yours pawfully,
Mizz S.
