Zuma Beach from Point Dume State Beach bluffs, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

I finally got around to processing and uploading the pictures from when Heather and I went to the Los Angeles area in August for her friend Zeenat's wedding. We went to the beach, I hiked in the mountains, and we saw lots of wildlife.

And now, a word from Will Ferrell

Tweety bird

Given my general lack of regular updates to this blog and my recent acquisition of an iPhone with an unlimited data plan, I've added my Twitter feed to the sidebar (replacing the nearly-useless "recent pictures" widget.)

Those of you in the know about such technology can find me there as @voght, and those of you not-in-the-know (hi, mom!) can just keep checking here on occasion to see what's going on in 140-characters-or-less, along with irregular longer news posts. In the sidebar there are likely to be links to interesting news articles, photos, and other general silliness that comes from being out in the world with nearly-instantaneous photo and text uploading capabilities, while the main news feed will continue to primarily feature random pictures of the cats.

And for those of you really in the know, @jasperjenkins and @wileytito also post the occasional tweet in between periods of watching actual birds tweeting outside the bedroom window. Ain't technology grand?

Caturday: Meowy Birthday

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 10:20:52 -0800

Today is Jasper's 7th birthday! Wiley's doing his best to keep him exercised and in... normal shape.

That about sums it up

Thankfully, Friday is actually forecast to be the start of a veritable cold snap, with highs only reaching the mid 80s!

It's currently 104 at the house, and feels like 123.

Batman tries the internet dating scene.

Handsome as Hell

Jasper is today's Cute as Hell pet of the day on Facebook! (All we need to do now is Twitter about it to create a social media vortex that could doom civilization.)

He's proving himself to be quite the ladies' man...

Coming soon to a Freelard near you

Jasper's packing his bags, raising the anchor, and moving to another new ZIP code in mid-July. This time it's six blocks from the Ballard Fred Meyer, and has even more delicious grass to chomp on... and a guest room for all of you who have been using the lack of one as an excuse not to visit.

(Random side-note trivia -- I have yet to live in the same ZIP code twice, despite this being my seventh move within about a five-mile radius.)

Caturday: Just call him Wayne... Bruce Wayne

Batman, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

Batman is apparently a terror, and needs a lot of room to run around and wrestle with other kitties. In his previous foster home, he was taking on the senior kitties and they weren't liking it one bit, so off he had to go. We're told he's the cookie-cutter copy of Wiley, which should make for some interesting match-ups once he gets over his initial shyness.

So far, so good, and Jasper's also been quite happy not to be Wiley's sparring partner for the past few days, too.

See all five photos here.

!!!!! (and so forth)

Caturday: Jasper's sunbath

Jasper's sunbath, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

Believe it or not we had sunshine and 70-degree weather here last week. Jasper discovered a new ledge on which to sunbathe.
