August 2012 in pictures

Since I've been posting quite a bit lately (for me) I have decided that I dont like the look of my blog. So i'm experimenting with different layouts/fonts/cover picts/etc. I'm not sure that enough people actually read this blog to notice, but in case that you are out there and wondering what's up - that is the explanation.

I also noticed that I dont seem to post anything of substance anymore. Just pictures and random captions. Probably it's because things are not so great and I bitch enough in real life about them that if anyone is reading this who knows me might be so sick of all the depressing diatribe. Science is hard. Getting a PhD is hard. Northern European winters are dreary and depressing. It's gray and raining for an unbelievable amount of time in the Netherlands. I get a lot of migraines. I dont get a lot of sleep. I'm a grumpy-grumpatron. If science was easy, everyone would do it. I'm contemplating how much longer I can deal with academic science and I'm not even that far along in the game. I guess going back to school when you are older is a bit tougher. Long hours are a young persons game. A young person who doesnt have chronic headaches.

So there is some substance. Back to the cat pictures!


Islay discovered that she could watch birds out of our window. 
We call it her TV.














Awwww




















This stuff is great!






We bought her some cat grass at a local pet shop and she absolutely Loved it. Too bad she ate too much (every damn time) and vomited. Considering that she was quite the sickly kitten we took the grass away from her after the 2nd vomiting episode - we really didnt need any more sickness and vomiting than she was already having due to teething.
One of her favorite things to do at this time was to crawl into tiny s
paces in shelves and such, push whatever was there out, and take a nap. 
Here she is after pushing out knitting stuff.   


  
Another favorite activity is to tackle the laundry bags and tip them over 
so that they can become forts. Cats love forts!




Sleeping on feet and legs! It's awesome!
