Kitten Puzzle

No sign of Mystery Kitten after the clean up yesterday. Was not hiding behind any sofa I had a panic after patching a hole in one of the walls of the Studio. It was a sticky metal patch and after I applied I thought "what if the kiiten had found it's way in there?" but really the hole is as large as the kitten's head, and I can't see a cat jumping into such a tight space when other possibilities remain. There was a period when Xena and Gabby were in the kitchen staring in the same direction, and Theo was so keen on the back of the DVD cabinet that I pulled everything in front of it away so he could get a better sniff. But I had a look around the back myself and there was no kitten or mouse there. It may be that I titbit I threw at Bobby bounced off into a hidden spot.

I also cleaned up under the kitchen cabinets. Discovered lost kitchenware, lots of wood shavings and two mouse holes in the wall to the bathroom. But no kitten or mice. I also discovered small clumps of dried cat poo (small enough to be made by a kitten). I have a poor sense of smell and may not have spotted these earlier because they were concealed. Evevidence that the kitten's been in my house for at least a week.

So this morning I'm worried about the kitten. Just because I can't find it doesn't mean it's not here, but I guess I have grown to like the idea of a kitten here. It could be dead (of starvation?), in hiding, or run off. And it looks like I won't know until or unless it shows up again.

Study

The other thing I really need to do is get serious about the research.Have been distracted ever since I sat down to start this late January.

I keep finding excuses and diversions to avoid  doing it. Had one spurt and then, nothing. Am I afraid of this? Am I bored with it? Neither makes sense. I know what I need to do, so why not do it? Perhaps in the short  term buying new "sexy" software (like Premiere and Animation Studio) is easy to do. Creating those music videos with AVS Video editor was also easy to do. Simpler (because I've done it before) and faster. Research takes time.

Here we go again. This morning I'm NOT going to do a webcomic page /music video/ waste time on the net. In fact being "shaped" (because I exceeded my broadband quota) might be an advantage. I can post to Live Jurnal and Facebnook, yes. But try rigading the average home page of FB with such a slow connection, or have more than one tab open? No, doesn't work that well. And maybe that's a good thing.

Am about to "sort" the Studio. But not as a procrastination, because I need to find some stuff!'

Wish me luck?

Elementary's "M"

Saw an episode of Elementary this morning, where Holmes tracks down a killer known as "M". After seeing this and noticing a couple of clues (and no other information) here's my prediction. This version of Sherlock Holmes's MORIARTY is none other than an alias for his own father.  That's my prediction, made here now. We probably won't find out unless they make a second season.

Success

I have notes from UNDERSTANDING COMICS - have sucked the goodness from it (for my research)!
