Discount Adjective Supply Incorporated: This won't be a blog about how interesting my cats are, I promise...

I am cautiously committing to blogging. I have some major hurdles to overcome, to make this a worthwhile project.

1) I don't actually want to do this.

2) Nothing interesting happens to me.

Hopefully I can overcome these hurdles. This blog is intended to address both of those obstacles. First, by forcing myself to write consistently on a small scale I hope that it will improve my large scale writing and motivate me to write more frequently. I am already aware that I thrive on routine so hopefully, over time, I will come to desire blogging and feel remorse when shirking it.

In regards to my second concern, I hope that by documenting my days I will uncover threads of interest and identify activities that lead to worthwhile and interesting posts and pursue them with renewed vigor. I "get" that interesting things don't happen to you, you must go and do interesting things. Perhaps making daily events more concrete and using this blog as an auxiliary external memory, since my hardwired one is so atrocious I will discover, to my glee, that interesting things do, on occasion, happen to me.

Also we have a new camera and I want to post funny pictures of my pets. So here they come. Our pets all get full names, influenced by aspects of their personality or appearance. We have a dog too- but she deserves a post all her own.

Here is one of our first cat, in the act of writhing around on the floor. I tried to catch her mid-writhe but it was always blurry.

Next up is the newest cat, a stray that adopted my wife. She was pretty disgusting at first which influenced her last name.

Our perpetual kitten (he's a runt and refuses to get any bigger! <3) is next. He is bigger than these next two pictures indicate because he was totally uncooperative about having his picture taken today. He's still way smaller than a normal adult cat though- he's only about 8 pounds! Here are my two favorites of him as a "teenager".
