God forbid anyone here not be under the impression that I'm one of those people who does nothing but take pictures of their pets all day, here we go again.

Merry Christmas from Shadow )

If Rama and I had kids I'd post pictures of them all the time too. I have loads of my niece on my phone, it's embarrassing. And too many of my husband to count.

My dream self may have gotten into a touch of trouble with his better half.

See I found this kid, right? And he helped me gather a whole bunch of honey, since I couldn't get it on my own. Too high up and all. Only thing is I got him to do it by telling him I needed it for hibernation.

As my darling panther pointed out, we live in the jungle and jungle bears don't hibernate.

I do take lots of naps, though. It's almost the same thing.

So my dream self has brought this orphaned child to live with the wolves, but can't seem to part from him. There's something oddly charming about the situation - a boy being raised by wolves, but being taught how to be a wolf by a panther.

I also think that dreaming of being a nocturnal animal has made me a bit more nocturnal.

I've made sure that not only is the company making donations, but I'm personally branching out to help more worthy causes this year than ever. It's a difficult time for a lot of people--changes in the world make futures uncertain--so we give back wherever we can.

If anyone is looking for venues for charitable donations this holiday season, please consider the following:

Toys for Tots
OC Food Bank
Laura's House
Equality California
World Wildlife Fund

I'm excited for my first Thanksgiving. An entire holiday about family and food? Lots of food? I'm here for it.

Why is Halloween so popular here, anyway? It's always puzzled me and I've been living in the states for years.

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this. Man oh man I better dream this stuff someday soon.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Trailer

Also, why the hell does baby me have a baby Groot sized version of Quill's jacket?

I'm extremely tempted to dress my cat up for Halloween. He more than likely won't like it, but I think it'd be cute. Or does that sound pathetic?

Well whaddya know. In these dream things of mine, it looks like I'm a bear. I mean I am a bear, big fuzzy guy like me with certain leanings, but an actual honest to goodness bear. A sloth bear, apparently. Me and my better half (who is a beautiful panther, suits him) live in the jungles of India.

Sounds like a pretty great deal, to me.

I've returned home from a trip to India, and was graciously "surprised" by the new addition to the family. What a sweet little cat he is. Orson thinks I ought to rename him, but there's something endearing in the name Shadow. But I am a firm believer in names holding meaning, and this seems no different. The little thing seems to always be at my heel.

With the free time I've had with a steadier schedule, I decided to start doing pilates.

My top secret plan to acquire a cat while my husband is out of town is complete. He will be utterly surprised and not suspect a thing.

This is Shadow, which is what the shelter named him. And Shadow he will stay until my husband comes up with a better name, because I'm not good at that kind of thing.

He's my fierce little panther and I love him already. He sleeps on my stomach.

If I were to hypothetically start looking into a furry companion for myself and my husband, would you vote cat or dog? I'm still debating.

And haven't consulted my husband on this but we're still talking hypothetically. Mostly.

OMG!! Kitten Summer Games is going to be on August 5th. I didn't think there could be anything better than the Kitten Halftime Show, but this is better. This might be better than the actual Olympics. In fact, I think I might have a Kitten Summer Games party.

Whoo! My darling niece took me out for my first real run in ages. Though "run" might be a generous term for it. Midna ran while I tried keeping up.

She's got this whole routine planned out to get me back into some kind of shape.

(Though round is technically a shape, thank you)

She swears up and down she could sign me up for one of those pole dancing exercise classes but I don't think anyone needs to see all of this me trying to make his way around a pole, much less a whole group of people.

No, we'll stick with some running and some yoga, see where that gets us.

Well, we've been here a month now and we're all settled. I think it's safe to say that living in Orange County will be the most interesting chapter of my life, and, judging by all the posts, I'll soon become fairly acclimatized to this.

I've yet to decide if I'm looking forward to that moment or not.

You ever take a photo of your significant other and just think that the world would be a better place if you shared it?

No, is it just me?

Well, here's a picture of Magnus, anyway.

Also, I have finally told my parents that he and I are engaged. It only took like 6 months to clue them in.

So my fellow Princess and lifemate is totally the best because look what she got me:

cut for image, viewable to everyone )

Isn't he the most precious, ginormous baby?? His name's Link! He's a wolfdog hybrid, from a rescue up in Lake Tahoe. But he looks a lot like the Link in my dreamworld, who appeared as a divine beast meant to help save the Twili kingdom. I basically spent a lot of time riding him and hanging out in his shadow, in imp form, but he's a good kid.

I just wanted to show him off. Nothing new to report, but hey, congrats to all the college people who have finished their exams! Never bothered with the college thing but I'm pretty certified in Arabic now so I'll start volunteering at the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services. And to think this time last year I was still on the pole.

Which is actually good exercise, by the way. I've given pole dancing lessons before, highly recommend them.

Even though it's just May, I can feel summer coming on. About time for beach season, isn't it? I'm excited to lounge around on a towel under the sun and just soak it all in.

I feel this sentiment right down in my soul, you know what I mean friends?



Anyway I'm Orson, but mostly I go by my last name Baloo. Or Old Iron Paws if you're feeling a bit frisky.
