A few things...
Clarice, chere, have you still got my spare key for Vega? Apparently I should store one here at the house in case of emergencies and that's my only extra. Also, I have something for you. Trade?

I have a pair of socks here with some kind of cartoon character on them. They are fairly small. I haven't watched a cartoon in about thirty years, so someone else will need to identify them. I also have a small paint brush that looks to be of fairly good quality, a mechanical pencil, a small stuffed frog that squeaks (looks much like a dog toy), and one of those scrunchie things for a woman's hair - black synthetic sateen material - that was left on my pillow, causing me a moment's cold pause. Delphine has been busy.

It's beginning to feel a lot like home.
I wasn't sure I'd ever quite be comfortable here in the States, but today did look awfully familiar in some ways. I caught the news while I was in town. No matter where you go, there you are, isn't that what they say?

Also, I got Delphine a cat-licence while I was out and had her microchip information updated. I put her licence number and her new address on the back of the cutest little gold egyptian luck charm. It looks very classy. I think she likes it.

Current mood: nauseated

What possesses them?
What? I can't understand it. What possesses a tasteful, knowledgable fashion house to /ruin/ a perfectly good runway show - dripping with some of the nicest men I've seen since I got back from Milan - with women?

Not /just/ women, though. No. These were not aesthetically pleasing creatures. These were women that make me revel in the safety of my homosexuality. Marionettes without strings. Withered, emaciated creatures wrapped in a few latex and spandex rubberbands and propped up on stilts. Women so thin that their femininity is only defined by the outline of the uterus and ovaries showing through their overtanned, drum-tight skin.

And they put them. In the middle. Of a men's fashion show.

Yes, the clothing was lovely, but none of the purchasers really got a good look because they were all too busy vomiting into their Prada shoulderbags. Thanks for killing the calories from that fantastic terrine of quail with fig jam that they really should have said no to, but the cleaning bill's going to be a bitch.

If it were once, I'd let it slide. But this is three times now. I need to lie down with a lavendar herb-pack before my eyeballs retreat too far back into my head. I'm traumatized. Really.

 Nathan, guess who just staggered in the door? Your bird. My cat. They look like they've been out drinking. Delphine's fur is sticking up in places and Bella is serenading her in Italian. Sounds like La Traviata...

...I just patted them down. I found a catnip leaf stuck under Bella's wing, they're both covered in pollen, and there's grape juice stains on Delphine's paws.

This is why I don't have children of my own. I'm a bad parent. A terrible example. Where did I go wrong?

Greetings and a request.
(I do believe I have this figured out - at least partly. The "update journal" page is a little difficult to misinterpret.)

Greetings to staff and students. Thank you to everyone I've met so far for helping me to settle in. You can find me in room 324 and if my door is slightly open, please take that as a sign that company is welcome.

As some have already noticed, I have brought my companion animal with me. Her name is Delphine and she is a purebred Siamese cat (if I've done the icon choice correctly, this post should be accompanied by a small picture of her). Delphine is allowed to go outside the house but I must ask that people refrain from giving her treats, at least those that would normally make a cat happy.

Delphine has a genetic disorder that makes her very ill when she eats animal protein. If you give her anything with animal proteins in it (including dairy products), the least that will happen is that she will promptly be sick on your shoes. At worst, she will need an emergency trip to the vet. She does, however, adore grapes, almonds, cheerios (anything she can chase around the floor, really), and bits of banana. For those of you with small friends, Delphine has the good sense not to attempt to eat small animals and, should one get into her mouth, she will spit it out and be most offended. She gets on well with other animals, in general.

Unfortunately, Delphine makes up for her inability to hunt small animals by stalking laundry and pens. Her favourite "prey" are bundled socks, though she will settle for underthings if she cannot get those. She is also an inveterate thief of pens, preferably your last one. Her "hunting" is not limited to those items but those are the most popular victims. I apologize in advance for this, I simply can't train her out of it. She's so proud of herself when she brings home her "kills". I will attempt to return these things as promptly as possible.
