Cat cafes and other things

[osprey_archer]

Japan clearly has the best cafes. Here's an article proving it: Killing Time in Japan's Cat Cafes. With photos! Photos of adorable cats strolling around a cafe, providing feline companionship for the unfortunately catless!

There's an art store four blocks from my apartment with a pair of cats. It's right next door to the boutique grocery with all the fancy chocolate, and the anarchist bookstore.

It's going to be a great weekend. Emma & Ryan are coming to visit! My parents are getting back to New Zealand! I have a copy of Code Name Verity to read!

I just need to buckle down and finish my paper/my grading. Stubborn face! I will make it through!

I need a cat cafe. Well, I need a cat. I get by with petting my neighbors' cats.

(Kitty (in icon) died last summer and I have not yet gotten around to finding The Perfect Feline.)

Aw, that's too bad about Kitty. She (he?) is just adorable in that icon, peering over the edge like that.

As amanen says, the best business synchronicity opportunity is to combine cat cafes with an animal shelter. Then, you'd get to play with the cats . . . AND MAYBE TAKE ONE HOME WITH YOU. Right? And it would give the animal shelter revenue, so yay.

I will be very, very interested in what you think of Code Name Verity. I haven't read it yet myself but I've been reading reviews with great interest.

LOL. I think zoning laws should *require* juxtapositions like that.

P.S. There's a fic of yours I haven't read yet--a Sutcliff one, I believe. I haven't forgotten. . .

Yes! We should clearly get on starting this cat cafe/animal shelter combination in the US.

Yeah, I got a letter from the leasing office a couple weeks ago that was all, "Will you renew your lease? Check yes or no." And I was like, "I could move to an apartment with room for a table...but then I wouldn't be three blocks away from an anarchist bookstore. So no."

(Plus, moving. Yech.)

Don't worry about keeping up with the fics! I can barely keep up with myself somedays. O.o

I will also be interested in your thoughts on CNV! I enjoyed it, but didn't love it the way a lot of people did....

All these people are asking for it for Yuletide, so I figured I needed to get on it. But first! Paper finishing! I will be strong!
