dr_phil_physicsAs Long As I Mentioned This...
On Friday I talked about trying to spend some of my sabbatical writing time downstairs in the Kitty Room, just as Mrs. Dr. Phil did during hers. So I remembered to take a camera down and take a couple of pictures for you.
This is our 16×20 foot Kitty Room -- the reason we bought this house. (grin)
Bagel, Blue and Sam checking out another pleasantly cool July day in the sunshine.
KEPLER, my refurbished laptop I bought in 2002.
Yup, that's a Dr. Phil personalized Swiss Army Memory.
So that's what I'm doing on my summer "vacation" -- how's your summer?

Titanic may be a special effects blockbuster movie, but Kate literally throws herself from one end of the ship to the other and carries the film. After I saw Titanic, I was surprised to realize that I'd seen her before in Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility. In many of her movies and most of her photo shoots, Kate manages to transform herself in many interesting ways. Her Academy Award for The Reader was both richly deserved and long overdue.
Yup. Smitten. (grin)
I should note that Kate isn't the ONLY thing I use for LJ icons and computer wallpaper.

There are, of course, much worse things
