Troggle

So one of my cats, Troggle, has taken up playing with toys again. Except that I only have one cat toy left anymore... it's a little brown mouse with green ears and black, beady eyes. So for about a week now, the mouse has been completely torn apart, and only the white cottony stuff that was on the inside is left on the floor. So she keeps playing with white cottony stuff, rolling around with it, biting it, tossing it in the air. ...am I a horrible Mama that needs to finally buy another toy? Or is Troggle thrilled that she finally gutted the mouse, and simply loves tossing the innards of her prey around in the air all the time? I don't want to rob her of this joy by distracting her with a new toy if that is the case.

In other news, after asking a bar owner I've become familiar with if I could play a gig at her place, she said instead I can host an open mic night, and then I'll get to play my songs intermittently between the other artists who show up. !! That's as good as a gig to me. Except that I have to host the night, and I don't really know what that involves or should involve. Also, she wants a name for the night, and I was just thinking it would be called Open Mic at Stray Bar (it's called Stray Bar - they're a dog-friendly bar). But I'm wondering if she wants something more catchy? Anyway, suggestions are beyond welcome. Also, anyone who reads this that lives remotely close to San Francisco must get in contact with me so I can give you more info about it, because you HAVE TO COME SUPPORT ME. Matt, my wonderful brother, I know you live in England, but that's no excuse. It's also no excuse, because I've scheduled the night for November 30th, when you will be here visiting me!!!! So you'll finally get to see me play my songs! Or a handful of them, anyway.

Anyway, I think he's the only one who reads my blog that'll be able to attend. The rest of you live far away. Or stopped reading. So... good things happening in my life. :)
