Cat / Cuisine

Idiot cat showed up at the side door as soon as I opened it this morning, seemingly none the worse for wear for his night outside.

Unrelated item: dinner last night was Japanese curry and, for the first time, miso soup. You'd think someone who likes Japanese food as much as I do would have learned to make miso soup long before now, but no. Very simple (counting water, five ingredients!) and very fast. Shall likely be added to menu rotation a lot more from now on.

Vehicular Daydreams :)

Saw a couple of jaw-droppingly lovely cars this week. As I pass by the Lamborghini dealership on the way to work each morning, I admire their stock. The G1 Transformers fan in me squees over the red and gold ones. I raise a quizzical eyebrow at the neon orange and neon green ones. The black ones remind me of Toothless. The deep sapphire blue Lamborghini, however, is my favorite; gorgeous car, gorgeous color. But this week there was a new contender! A pearly white Lambo of infinite beauty. Then, on the drive home, I paced what is possibly the sleekest Porsche I've ever seen, a pristine white Carerra S4. Oh the eye candy. Had I but infinite funds and a larger garage....

A Porsche actually is my "had I but money enough" sports car (though I would want to test-drive a Lambo just for the fun of it). Wonderful Husband goes slightly more exotic and slightly more affordable by having a Lotus at the comparative spot on his list. For a more conservative choice, he also would like a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow (aka a Bentley T).

Then there are the classic cars of my daydreams....

And, of course, every Transformers fan has a short (or long!) list of what characters' vehicle modes they would like to, and maybe someday will, replicate! G1 Jazz is high on my list. It would also be fun to do any of the Datsun trio (though I suspect a Prowl replica, like a Barricade replica, would actually not be street legal) and Tracks. But my other main fantasy replica would actually be Bumblebee from Bayverse. The 1976 Bumblebee. Except, you know, with non-custom-faded paint.... :)

Editing Count

Ten more pages done; only three sections remaining in the stack. Chapter eleven is completed, and I'm stopping for the night on page 245/617. Word count is 124,336, so I've shaved off only twenty-one words in this session. Have established that Higami is a young idiot, and that Rosemarinda hates packing.
