Karsten is hard at work putting the finishing touches on the verse melodies for "My Evil Twin." I feel like I should be working, too, but instead I've been messing around on LiveJournal.

I might do some baking today. It would be a good excuse to have the oven on and hover near it, basking in its warmth. We're going to a dinner party tonight and it would be nice to be able to bring a dessert along. The hostess says the menu includes a Chinese broccoli dish and a squash soup -- so what should I bring for dessert?

Also, could I possibly be more excited about getting together with tubenerd and oiran tomorrow? I don't think I could.

OK, wanna see a cute kitty? You know you do.

but as of this writing, Bopper is winning the kitten war. We're so proud!
