Seraphim's Journal of Muses

Well, yesterday sucked.

Not only did we NOT find the kitten, (Gods rest his little soul. He was a good kitty. A couragous kitty. A kitty of good moral fibre....) He is now officially Lost In Action. Probably even Killed In Action. But then it got worse.

I was just finishing a very long, hard late shift at work, and then I got a phone call from hubby. I was grumpy and snapped at him for not already being on his way to pick me up. He then managed to quietly croak that he couldn't walk down as he'd been hit by a car.

He's ok, except his knee is fucked up where the car hit him, and he's generally scratched and bruised. (As I guess anyone would be having been rolling on tarmac.)

Some fucking cunt (And I don't mean cunt as in, Utopia is a cunt, but a complete and utter CUNT) of a greek stopped to let him across the pedestrian right-of-way crossing... then his car shot forward and hit him. Stupid fucking cunt.

In a month that across the blogsphere, has included many deaths, I now have to add my own to the pile. Well, obviously not MY own, I am still here, dispite appearences. Alas, however, one of the kittens is not. Or may not be. Little Socks is awol. Absent without leave in a very real manner. She doesn't appear to be anywhere in the house, or indeed in the apartment block. Gods knows how she managed to sneak past us and get out. If we don't find her soon, we'll simply have to sign her off as a gonner.
Very sad. =((

Yeah, I know.... I'm late, for most of the world. But in our Greek Orthodox Church, we have a different calendar to most of Europe. Good Friday was yesterday, and Palm Sunday is just coming up. Here in Cyprus, Easter is the biggest celebration of the year - much bigger than Christmas, and certainly bigger than anyones birthday (which by the way, we celebrate name-day's instead, usually =))
There are big processions through the city streets, and literally thousands of people line up outside the church at midnight on saturday night (today!) to have a candle lit - its really beautiful, to see the candlelight spreading out like a wave in the darkness from one candle that the priest lights. Then the congregation will attempt to carry the candle, it, back to their homes to bring good luck and good health to their family for the next year. The following morning, they will eat their first meal after fasting for 40 days, (having no butter, or wheat, or many other things.) the food having been taken to the church on thursday to be blessed.
Its a really big, fun time of year, so I just wanted to say to everyone - " Ευτυχές Πάσχα!" (Happy Easter!)

I promised kitty photo's. Here are they. I actually only have one of the kittens in the photo's, the others are still a little timid. This is the one we call Thor. They are still very tiny, but can now all wobble around on their own feet, and eat little nibbles from their mothers bowl, though of course nipples are still favouriate...but lets face it, when are they ever not? ;) So, here is little Thor....

And here he is again, playing with the keyboard cables during his photo-session...

And of course! Practising his typing, ready for his own kitty-blog....

I also had some photo's taken of myself. They were only passport photo's, which of course are -always- awful, but I thought I would share this one because it didn't come out as badly as I thought it would.... considering its a lacking-smiling passport-photo, I almost look human. Have a look here if you wish, but I refuse to accept resposiblily for any physical or psychological disorders arising from doing so!
Hubby, on the other hand, is one of those people who looks great in photo's. They actually really look like him. His driving licence photo is the best I have seen. Look! Here! He looks human. Why can't everyone else, in their passports, driving lisences etc? Damn him!

Well, I disappeared for a couple of days. Anyone notice? Of course you did! (Humour me, I beg.) I have been staying with my parents for the past few days, cleaning their house up for them and such before they return from thier month-long trip to England on tuesday.

I was going to try and get some photo's of the kittens up here, but I can't get the webcam working on Linux, so I'd have to switch over to windows and I'm lazy. I can't use my digital camera as it officially died when the batteries leaked in it. And my parents took ye olde camera back to England with them to take some photos of my baby niece. So. Soon, there will be photo's of Thor, Socks and 'the other one'. Maybe I should make up some competition to name him. Yeah. I'n a few day's I'll post a picture and you can all try to name my kitten.

Take care until then.... Remember to vote for Survivor contestants, too!

Well, in my own geeky little way I have had a really great day.

First of all, I found out that I won Utopia's Mango Radio contest! I rarely win anything, but by honing my stalking skills, I managed to answer some questions about Utopia herself and win the contest. Thanks Utopia!!

I also managed to get my apartment almost completely clean and tidy after my spring clean, which is a miracle in itself - its always clean, I like clean, but its so small its a nightmare to keep it actually tidy, we just have too much stuff.

Next, in Syrnia, an online RPG I play whilst I'm doing other things (due to its slow speed), I got a couple of rare items and sold almost everything in my shop. Hubby was jealous.... sorry hon. ;)

I also finally managed to fix one of the little internal errors I have with this blog template, though I still have a major one which I cannot fathom.... perhaps I'll take a look when I finish this entry, see if my luck continues!

I'd like to give a link to Katkat over at No Diet Coke for Mommy, because she seems like she's not had a very good time the past week, but still had time to leave me a really sweet comment on my blog yesterday. She could do with some good thoughts and linkage - I hope my good day travels over to you, Katkat!

Random comments always amuse me. I can quite happily smirk at the thought of some drug company trying to enlarge my invisible penis, or selling me drugs which -guarentee- I can loose enough wieght to look like an anerexic teen barbie in under 9 minutes.

But I have to admit, this one really caught me off guard... this was the entire content:

disney Disney walt disney disney movies disney films Cinderella Limited Edition dvd Cinderella cinderella dvd http://disney.swedenetwork.com

And the author?

Well, who else?

Cinderella.
