Dratted living alarm clock

maderrMy cat decides when I get up. Me, being usually at least half-asleep (and more like 3/4), I don't immeditiately get this. Anytime during the week, if I sleep in past 5:30 he appears to give me unmitigated hell. And by that he demands to be petted and adored until I'm fully awake, at which point he runs off...only to come back in like three minues if my lazy ass is still in bed.
On the weekends, he doesn't usually bother me until 6:30, 7:00.
Yes, I could close my door. But then he does this piteous scratching, mewling thing. And the felines like sleeping with me. Besides, I hate slepeing in so really it all works out for the best. Though if they puke in my room one more time I'm going to enjoy my new mittens with much much relish.
Now for coffee.

Be glad that your cat has chosen a relatively painless way to enforce his will upon you. *smirk*

*dies laughing* It's so true.
Oh, I'm grateful trust me. Pumpernikel is a brat, but overall he's a nice brat.

Date: 2005-10-15 01:23 pm (UTC)Pumpernikle is one of my favorite words, and I've wanted to name a cat it for years ^^;; But yeah, we usually call him Nikel (Or "goddammit cat!")
Metals would be fun. That'd go well with the bodyguards-for-hire thing I wanted to do...

No, see. Everyday on the bus, I pass by this old, empty building. Across the top it has the words "Bushido Inc." and one day I decided that'd be a really cool name (I don't know why, it doesn't actually make much sense) for like this group of guys who hire themselve out as bodyguards, etc. Only I wanted the story to be like this one particular case, and throughout the whole thing like the 2? 3? guys involved all bitch about how much easier it would be if their last member was there. How much they're going to kill him for going off on his own or something. Only to have him show up at the very end, and save the day in a way that pisses them all off or something. I dunno, it's a very hazy, distant story. Obviously it needs work, but I like the idea of naming them after metals so it just became that much more solid goddamn you.

So Nickel for one...I don't think I want to use silver or gold...though Silver would be tempting. Rattle off some more metals while I try to ignore you and go back to working on DwtD. Doug and Zach are about to be hideously cute and I want to write that scene.

Date: 2005-10-15 01:59 pm (UTC)Uh, in the order of however they pop into my head: Bronze, Copper, Steel, Iron, Tin, Platinum... Uh, metals, let me see... Aluminium? Brass, Titanium.. . Is Mercury a metal? It is, isn't it? And stuff like Sodium, Plutonium, Potassium? o_o;
...I need a periodic table. :P
Hmm... Chromium? Magnesium? ZINC! I can't believe I forgot that. =_=;;;;
Cobalt? Silver, Lead... Tungsten? (Reminds me of light bulbs. :P)
The other ones in the periodic table just sound weird. :P

Hmmm....Nickel, Brass, Zinc for the three...I think Silver for the one they're bitching about the whole time. Thogh two of them are brother so I guess they should be related name-wise? Where are all the science geeks on my list? They could help me with all this ponderous decision making. I like the idea of calling one "tin" but his name really being Platinum. Hrmm...this will take lots and lots of pondering.

Date: 2005-10-15 03:39 pm (UTC)I think brass is a combination of copper and tin? Uhm... I know bronze is also a combination, and of copper and something... But I forget. x_X;;;;;;;
Hee hee hee. If you want brother-names maybe you should look to the melded metals?

Not sure. I could never figure it out. But now I want to try again. Gimme a few.

Just for info that might be useful, If you try to use dissimilar metals in a piping system, the water can cause Galvanic Corrosion. To prevent this, one normally uses a Dielectric Union. You should have one of these on your hot water heater, since copper & steel are not good to have together.
& If you're going to do a story with disimilar metals for character names, maybe use "Dielectric Union" as the name for the group? Use "Galvanic" as a code word for something becoming "bad?"
& the only reason I think I'm mentioning it is I've had to deal with dielectric stuff at work this past week, so it's still fresh in the brain.
