A Crazy Cat's Life

OK...now I'm in a pissy mood. Blogger is "burping" on me and I've already lost most of the original post. Bah. Did you ever just feel incredibly “blah?” I’ve been feeling this way for over a week now and I’m getting so sick of it. All I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep, which is basically what I did for my entire Spring Break. Not good. I know. A lot of stuff has been going on. This weekend I dropped off the rest of Moose’s medical supplies to RBARI , a local private non-kill shelter. It was heartbreaking to part with what to me were the last remnants of him, but I had to. I needed to know that these supplies were going to good use. It sounds weird but I think Moose would’ve wanted that too. I also got a present from my vet’s office: a small clay plaque with Moose’s paw print in it. Oh, how I cried when I got that! It was the good kind of tears though. It was such a small gesture on the part of my vet but it meant so much and now I have a treasure ...

I didn't think Spring Break would come fast enough. No, I'm not basking in the Florida sun. I wish! Instead, I'm spending the week home trying to relax and get around to doing things that I've been putting off since the start of the semester (ie. unpacking and cleaning the apartment). The thing that amazes me the most is that none of my professors gave me homework. I just couldn't believe it! Not that I'm complaining or anything. At first, I was happy to learn that the Animation lab would be open over the break but then my professor didn't really give us anything specific to work on. For 3D we have our next project but it was more of a "think about what you want to do type of situation." For 2D, he hasn't even told us what we're doing yet. Then for GD2, Steve said "see you in two weeks!" with no assignments! Wow.....I can't handle this. LOL

I meant to write about this over the weekend, but as you know things took a turn for the worst and I got sidetracked. On Saturday I got to see a rather unusual art exhibit in New York City called The Gates . It was a two week long, $26 million work of art. The artists, Christo and Jean-Claude, created these saffron arches to span the walkways of Central Park. It got a lot of hype in the news and since we had to go to the American Museum of Natural History for a school project of mine, I decided to check it out. It was just phenomenal! I'm not a lover of modern art, but this piece really made an impression on me. It was such a bleak, grey, snow-covered day in NYC and to see thousands of these bright orange arches all over the place brought a sense of light and brilliance to the Park. I just wish this exhibit could've stayed up for the whole winter because it really added some beautiful color to the otherwise drab winter landscape. Here are some pictures of The Gates: This ...

The past few days have been rough for both me and Darren. Everything we do seems to remind us of Moose. Even doing dishes got me crying the other night because he would only eat when I would do dishes for some strange reason. A friend sent me this the other day. It's a beautiful story and helps ease the pain in my heart somewhat: The Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very specia...
