My new goal is to see them all before the 2007 Academy Awards are held. That is 15 weeks away, so the easy math says I need to see two movies per week from now until then. I need to see how many of these movies I have at home (I stored up a lot of them from TCM over the last couple of years) and how many I have to Netflix and how many I may have to scrounge to find if they are completely out of print.

Wish me luck!

I am making a better attempt to put something out on my blog every day, be it serious and profound or fluffy cat pictures (more of those coming soon!)

This post is a test to see if I can make entries on my lists on 43Things and AllConsuming and see if they will show up on my blog as well.

Here goes nothing…

She was diagnoised with the beginnings of kidney failure earlier this summer, but despite my thinking she’s dying on a daily basis, she’s still doing pretty well. She still sleeps with me and takes up 2/3rds of the bed every night. Besides sleeping, she enjoys quality time with my fish during the day.

And now, some more pictures of Mac: These first ones were from December of 1988 when she was still just a bitty kitty.

You can see her tail hadn’t yet gotten fluffy:

I was trying to take cute Christmas-time photos:

Here she is with our late cat, Scamper:

No date on this one, but she’s still young and you can see that her shoe fetish was with her at an early age:

Her tail got fluffy before the rest of her body did:

In her younger days, she was a climber. Here she is all the way up on the woodwork in my mom’s house. The ceiling is at least ten feet tall. We were never exactly sure how she got up there:

And finally, a more recent one from just over a week ago. She’s still fluffy and she still loves her shoes:

So Happy Birthday to my MacGyver. I’m so attached to her and hope we have several more years together.
