Facts!
Fact: I have a cat now. His name is Thac0, and he was the resident wacky stray at [info]littlehoudini's place. Now he lives with me. He is adorable and cuddly and does funny cat things, though his catulence is beyond belief. His butt, as we frequently tell him, is possibly the worst place in the universe. The rest of him is great.

Fact: I am toiling away on a production of Romeo And Juliet with the Tempest Theatre Group, playing Benvolio and doing the set and prop design. It is a very exciting approach to the play, full of turn-of-the-century style and vintage music hall panache. It runs next week, and I'd be delighted to see you there.

Fact: I recently got to do the voice work for a very cool game by the talented [info]hopping_v called Night Of The Cephalopods. I think it is awesome. You can play it at Spooky Squid Games. Be prepared for spectacularly overwrought dialogue.

Fact: it is nearly six in the morning, and I haven't slept because I know if I do I won't wake up for my 10AM rehearsal. Going to bed early was not an option, as there was (and still is) far too much to get done on this set design.

Glad that Thac0 has a home, esp. with all the rain we're getting right now (even if he doesn't seem to remember me... pout). As for the catulence, switching to a different food may help. Or, it might just be Todd "blaming it on the cat."

We tried a crazy science diet, and it appears that he is just naturally catulent. He is, regardless, awesome.

Fact: Night of the Cephalopods had a minor bug in it's first release.
Fact: I totally fixed it as of 10am Nov 15th.

Thanks for the awesome voice work!

Fact: I spent most of today adding more sound effects for the next version.
Fact: The winning monologue sounds even better with birds chirping and bittersweet piano music.

FACT: Agreed, but in a month or so, I'm close to a final build for the first version of the game (one bit of dialogue and a few sound effects away) and then I want to leave it static for a bit before continuing. I've realized I need more sleep and general free time in my life for a little bit. I passed out for 12 hours straight this weekend... game programming != healthy lifestyle

FACT: The previous statement probably should have been broken down into more FACTS.

Congrats on kitty :) Dumb question, but has he been checked out at the vet for parasites? Our little guy had a couple of nasty bugs he picked up from living outside and I think it contributed to him being a bit stinky. Food helps, but can take a while to make a difference. Our cats eat Nutro brand dry foods.

At least you still love your stinky kitty :)

He's been given the once-over, but the results on the parasite test (the Butt Monster Detector, as I prefer to call it) aren't yet back. It is entirely possible that he is simply rotten inside, but he's so goddamn cute that it's largely immaterial.

Most importantly: Is he a pirate cat?

My neighbour used to have a pirate cat. Seriously. He was missing an eye. No eyepatch though, since I guess cats don't enjoy clothing.

Wow, been a long time since you posted. I just wanted to offer belated Happy Birthday wishes! (I was sick yesterday or I'd have done it then)
