I bought an enormous tube of kettle corn yesterday from a cart in the parking lot at Ward Parkway. It is delicious. The whole house smells like amazing kettle corn. Now I want kettle corn for breakfast. Crispy salty/sweet kettle corn!

We have a trial period cat right now. Tasha has been here for almost 2 weeks, and the amount of hissing has gone down a lot. It's not gone, but it's better. At first, Anna was very interested in Tasha, and Tasha was interested in getting away. Now Anna swats at Tasha sometimes when she gets too close, and sometimes they sniff noses peacefully with no hissing. As for humans, Tasha is happy to be petted on her own terms. If you are standing, and she walks by, and you lean over to pet her, she's likely to skitter away. If she's on the spare bed, and you sit there to pet her, she's likely to wiggle onto her back so I can pet the tummy. It's a nice soft tummy.

The play I've been in tech for opens tonight. It's a relief to get one thing off your plate. Soon I'll be on to the next opera. Time to start thinking about that one. Hmm, actually the gel for that one should be in next week.

We have 2 episodes left to watch in season 2 of How I Met Your Mother. We lurve this show. Donald and I have been watching it in all our free time for about a week. I tried to get season 3 yesterday, but I couldn't find it. Mike has vowed to acquire it this weekend.

In Animal Crossing news, the internet told me that if I chop down an existing tree and then plant another in the exact spot, it's almost certain that the new tree will grow. Now I have several peach trees, which are very profitable! (My town grows oranges.) I've also planted some coconut trees by the ocean, which will only grow if you plant them a certain distance from the water. Now that I've paid off my mortgage, I'm building a second story on my house. Then I get to decorate another room. I think I'll use the mushroom themed items that I got for giving all those acorns to that turtle. Then after I pay of that mortgage, I think a basement is the next improvement.

Now I will go eat breakfast. It will not be kettle corn.

Oh, and even though leaves are falling, I haven't been able to crunch them because it's been raining. >:(
