Diary – March 2004

April 4, 2004 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Moody Lighting

I prefer my lighting not so moody

My human’s boyfriend did his taxes a few weeks after my human did, but he didn’t want us to help. He shut the door to his music room while he did the paperwork. That was very unfair of him. It turns out that my human is getting back more money than he is — serves him right.

Can't believe he turned down help that was so generously offered

There’s been more activity going on around the house mdash; this time it involved this electrician guy and his helper. It started because my human hated all the ceiling lights in the whole house. They were all fluorescent and she thought they were ugly. She especially hated the one near the kitchen door. She said that was the ugliest one of all. And she had a hanging lamp sitting around for a couple of years that was supposed to go in the breakfast nook.

It IS ugly! Looks like a spacecraft from a 1950s B movie

Not even sure what it is she's checking outSince the house was so old, she didn’t want her boyfriend fiddling with the electrical wires, so she got the electrician guy to install the fixtures. While he was here he and his assistant also put in new wall sockets and switches. It took them a long time, and they kept leaving stuff all over the place. Boodie tried to check everything out.

Binga didn’t care about checking everything out — she just laid on whatever she could find.

She was hoping somebody would finally ask for her help

Boodie helps by getting fur all over everythingMy human didn’t think the electricians wanted our help (what is wrong with these people?), so she put us upstairs. To keep us occupied she decided to brush us, but she only got as far as Boodie. The weather has been warm lately and she has been shedding a lot.

Am wondering where the hat is she spoke of?The electrician guy said whenever he saw Boodie walking around, big clumps of hair would fall off in her wake. No wonder — after she brushed her, my human said there was enough fur to make a hat.

So now I know what this thing is for — it’s for all the Boodie hair that gets on everything.

Personally I think pet hair makes a fine furniture accessory

The downstairs lights got installed. Frankly, I don’t think the new kitchen light is any better than the old one but my human likes it because she says it looks “vintage.” The breakfast nook light is definitely an improvement, though.

To me, vintage is early 2002

 
We were always worried more stuff was going to fall on us Although it wouldn't surprise me if thing came crashing down someday

Finally the electrician guy began installing the new upstairs hallway light. Binga and I had to see what was going on.

Decided these guys were in serious need of supervision Binga's STILL hoping someone will want her to help

But as he got farther along, I began to feel more and more dubious about the whole project.

I had that creepy feeling of foreboding

We were horrified when he was done — it was huge! And it spun around!

Just waiting for this thing to fall! Not only that - IT'S ALIVE!

She took back her offer to helpI’ve never seen Binga scared of anything, but this really freaked her out. She dashed downstairs and hid in the cupboard where my human has her exercise videos and DVDs.

That was obviously not a safe place to be — I hid under the bed.

When in doubt, hide under the bed

Eventually, however, I started really checking it out. It is big and horrible, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to come crashing down — at least I don’t think so. I’ve even returned to walking the balance beam. A stupid ceiling fixture is never going to get the best of me!

I'll put that ceiling fan in its place!
