My Christmas present to myself is a new kitten, who will be coming home with me as soon as she’s big enough to be fixed. But my most exciting Christmas gift was the cat bed my sister made me out of an old tv, it is the best! I really love homemade gifts (I painted a Hulk comic for her) and this one was truly perfect. And then I made everyone watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special and tried to explain what happened to Rory and Amy during commercial breaks.

New Year’s was pretty fun, drank responsibly (read, not much). Ruled at all the drinking games by passing the drinks on to my teammates and was told by a drunk acquaintance that I was her ‘Ideal Woman.’ Which I was flattered by? But she has a husband? Ah well, it was nice to hear after my pre-Christmas break up.

But anyway, kittens!

This week’s Top Ten leaves me with a lot of questions. And one statement.
1. Why is no one telling that baby to be nice to her dog?
2. Why did that man choose to play the piano to blind elephants?
3. Where was Holly for 6 months?
4. Is there a Rosetta Stone program for porcupine-ese?
5. I seriously love capybaras. There is one that visits my library every summer with a petting zoo and he is the best.

I was going to say Kristen Schaal, but my heart literally sped up when I saw Jonathan Coulton..

I’d like to buy *that* guy a few Punky Brewsters!
