They sky is falling! Seriously!!!

So one of Tycho's favourite things to do is sit in the direct line of heat from the furnace. This is him in a typical pose... front paws on the modem (which is always humming and warm), gaze fixed, trying to use his superpowers to make the furnace come on.

When heat does start pouring forth he is sometimes so happy that he rubs all up against the grating and chirps love songs that only he and the furnace can understand. Maybe that's why he is always so keen on slipping intot he basement when no one is looking! He loves that damn furnace. I hope I live in a place with those old radiator heaters next year. Jen and Mark say they're generally a pain but Tycho will love them!

But THEN poor little T-dot had his whole routine shattered when that room got torn up by the ceiling people... after months of having a hole in our ceiling, the landlords FINALLY arranged to get it fixed (just in time to convince new people to move in when we vacate - suckers), and my poor little poopster was so upset, he didn't know what the heck was going on and stayed upstairs with Laura all day while these big scary men hammered and sawed and generally caused a frightening fuss down here. After they left Tycho cautiously reappeared to survey the damage and mourn over the loss of his warm furnace spot...


But now all the rubble is cleared away and the room is big and empty and perfect for a little kitty who likes lots of space to lounge around in the sunshine! he says it's almost better than the furnace.


Thank goodness I'm taking a holiday from this house because now everything is filthy with dust and general disarray... this week is going to be so good... as per my "Itinerary of Awesome":

Tonight: movies and guitar hero! And derek!

Tomorrow: Depart for Love Apartment in toronto!

Tuesday: Make muffins! Visit Wayson! Go to Whitby!

Wednesday-Saturday: Drive to Montreal with Jen! Temporarily move in with James! Go see Metric! Eat lots of food! Drink lots of drink! Visit Concordia! Drive home again!

then my humble return to London... but it's so far away it's barely worth a thought.
Hooray!
