The last few days I couldn't help but think how awesome it was to have cats living at home again. That's right, Cotton and Teya were dropped off here in Chicago back on Friday. After a couple days of adjustment (although Teya adjusted quicker than Cotton) they're starting to feel more at home again. I kind of have to say, the last few months (although I was only around for a small part of it) have been kind of weird, knowing that when everyone was out of the house it truly was empty.
I also saw the Simpsons movie again this weekend. The first time I watched it, it was kind of an overwhelming experience in that the show I'd followed was finally on the big screen (and in a sense, more real than it had ever been on TV). The second time going there allowed me to focus more on the details, and perhaps even catch anything I missed from watching it the first time. But what struck me was how much more human the characters sounded, as opposed to the usually gimmicky voices that usually accompany cartoon characters. I don't necessarily need to see it again on big screen. Twice is enough.
Not much else going on the home front. I could certainly detail more, but then I'd sound about a generation or two older than I really am (or I could just post less often). I'm glad the death toll from the Minneapolis bridge collapse has been minimal. I still pray that no one I know was among the "unaccounted for."
Pics of Cotton and Teya will come soon (meaning probably September, since I email my phone pics to myself and save them to my computer before uploading them elsewhere).
