Meow

So I was reading my last post. I have an unhealthy attachment to cats. Not cats in general, but particular cats - the cat down the street, the fluffiest one in the pet store, etc etc. Once I identify one that appeals to me, I name it, regardless of whether or not it already has a name.

Jez claims that after dating me he has also become a cat-person. So now we're both cat-people. Frighteningly cat-loving people. And we both take great pleasure in naming random cats.

Pepper - a cat we haven't yet met, but plan to buy later when we've moved out. Pepper is grey, and at present nothing but a figment of our imagination.

Brûlée - a kitten we saw at Burwood Pets Paradise. It was mostly beige with its paws and the tip of its tail being brown. We called it Brûlée because it reminded us of the burnt topping of creme brûlée.

Tiger - a kitten from the pet store in Marketplace. Had pattern of a tiger, hence the highly unoriginal name.

Cookie - Jez's neighbour's cat who greatly resembles my Cookie, and whose name is most certainly not Cookie.

Anyway, enough about cats.

Jez is in his finance exam right now. 100% MCQs. What a joke.

Last night was his cram-session. Him, Philip and I spent a few hours in the comp labs nerding ourselves up, except I had the leisure of not worrying about regurgitating my study contents in 10 hours' time.

After coffee at Cador Jez and I went home and resumed studying. The boy plans to stay up every pre-exam night but never manages. Half an hour of study later he announced that he's going to take a 30-minute nap. I joined him. When the alarm rang we snoozed it. And again. And again. Nevertheless it seems that the morning-exam was an effective motivator because I snored my way through the rest of the night while unbeknownst to me Jez was up (studying hard or hardly studying I really don't know).

Tomorrow is Mother's Day. After racking my brain for ideas I decided on taking my mum out for dinner. And now I'm faced with the dilemma of where.

Jez and Philip should be back soon. I wonder if they'll be crying.
