When bored...

1. get the cat to stand on your lap and try to chase the mouse arrow across your monitor.

2. get the cat to chase a flashlight light in circles around the floor and up walls.

3. get the cat to play hide and seek or peek-a-boo.



Yesterday they had a bunch of booths out on campus selling stuff. They do this maybe 2 or 3 times a quarter. I made a beeline for the anime booth. I didn' buy any anime, but I did by my second ever plush doll-- this time it was Gaara of the Sand. My first ever plushie was Keroneko from Trigun, natch. Gaara's adorable, and I got him for 10 instead of the 30-50 they go for at conventions (absurd price), and his eyes and demon tattoo are embroidered, not printed on, which is good.

I also bought a flat rubber keychain of chibi!Roy Mustang. It was just so frelling cute and smirky! Not unlike my flat rubber keychain of chibi!Wolfwood. I would have bought a flat rubber keychain of chibi!Kakashi if they'd had one. Predictable?--never! I have very varied tastes in anime characters! Really, I do!

I also got a blue forehead protector, for when I got to Anime Expo next year. It's one the smaller size, and I'll probably wear it on my arm like Shikamaru. I asked if their were any other designs-- for Sand, or Sound, or Mist or something, but neither of the booth people had seen any merchandise except for the leaf symbols.

XD My cats enjoy good games of 2 and 3, but I don't think they've ever been interested in 1. To them, the computer is that big thing that takes my attention away from them, and they shall conquer it by putting big fuzzy heinies on the keyboard.

This cat seems to be fascinated by the mouse arrow. She's done this game for me and all my roommates (it's not my cat, really). I'm fascinated by how a cat can be so freaking observant and yet so stupid at the same time.

She goes through varying stages of attention-getting. She'll run in front of us and lay down in front of our feet, and sometimes come sit on the couch/bed next to/on top of us. She'll definitely want to be the in the same room as someone, especially at night. But there's just as many times when she's totally indifferent to us. Makes me want my dog, who at the very least is consistant.

Still, it's great to just live with a pet again. No pets in the dorms last year.

Was it this keychain? If so, I got the same one at Dragon*Con! Keychain twin!

Keychain twin! I found you at last! All those wasted years! ::swoons::

That's the one! I would have bought an Ed one too, but the only one they had I didn't like-- too super-deformed.

Sadly my cats aren't interested in the mouse, and the closest I've ever come to making them chase any light was a long time ago when I had a laser pointer. Man, I wish I knew where that laser pointer was. Hours of fun.

That is an awesome key chain, and if there was a Kakashi was of equal quality (imagining just how annoying a super deformed Ed would look) I would pick one up too. Sadly I can't find crap out here.

I've seen the various head protectors (Too many hours spent at ebay looking at the various cosplay items) and while they did spark interest I found myself seriously considering Itachi's Ring. After careful consideration, and a lack of money, I decided against it.

*goes to ebay and gets sucked in again* No!!!

I would too. Actually, I'm not a big fan of those kind of keychain ornaments. But this was irresistable.

I'd actually buy a lot of Kakashi paraphernalia if I could only find stuff with him that I actually liked. From the limited amount I've seen, I don't think he gets very good designs.

I considered Itachi's ring, but it reminded me of the Utena rings. Also, I've been nursing a secret desire for a forehead protector since I started watching Naruto. I've just waited a long time.
