Geekness

[vilakins]

First of all, today is, besides being Armistice Day, my journal's birthday. It's five years old, and those have been five great years with you lovely people. This is the perfect community for introverts like me. :-)

Secondly, behold: The Darth Vader Toaster. BSG is more your thing and you'd like a Cylon toaster? It's probably sold out, but hey, you could get the real thing. ;-)

And now for your pleasure, I present Jasmin the Geeky Kitten.

Cyclotron and sonic screwdriver


Jasmin plays with her cyclotron. There's only one large yellow hadron in it, so there's no danger of collisions. There's also a stupid mouse on a spring, but she's not interested in that. She wants to see that particle accelerate.


I left my sonic screwdriver pen on a glass table (I'm using it to mark off rows on my Doctor Who scarf pattern) and found Jasmin trying to get it from underneath.


She was pretty determined, too. :-) Any strange marks on her are reflections.

Happy Anniversary to your journal! I've really enjoyed your posts.

Jasmin the Geeky Kitty! I love it. She looks so soft and fuzzy and very determined indeed.

Heh, the first sonic screwdriver image, if you didn't know that there was a glass table there, it looks like she just tossed it into the air. Definitely a LOLcat waiting to happen.

Happy Anniversary!

Now, I've been looking for a new toaster and I think the Vader one would be just the thing. :)

Jasmin is a delight; I thought at first that you had photoshopped the image of the sonic screwdriver onto a photo of Jasmin. Great photos!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She is both of those things, and a little geek. She is now on my computer desk checking everything out. :-)

I know! It's like this Claudia icon, but I had the Liberator on cotton.

Ahahaha, if I'd photoshopped it, I hope the images would have been sharper. :-) I do think the Doctor should have a cat companion.

Congratulations on your journal!
Jasmin! She definitely belongs, with those gadgets and all :-)
The last photo is endearing - this expression, the paw!

[trixieleitz]

Happy anniversary!

Those are great photos - she looks so puzzled in the second one, and so intent in the first and third. And how perfect that such a geeky little kitty has found a home with you :)

That Cylon toaster is awesome! I want one! But that's a lot for a toaster.

And, awww, kitty and the screwdriver. So cute. <3

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She's a darling! She's a geek, all right; she's just been checking out my computer desk, and did some typing before.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

She certainly fits in well. :-)

I rather fancy the Darth Vader one, but they'd have to be available here for me to bother; you guys only run at half the voltage we do.

It was so cute! She knows what glass is because she walks around on it, but from underneath I suppose she couldn't see the reflections and though the screwdriver was floating. :-)

I see kitty loves her toys. :-p

Darth Vader toaster... LOL.

Happy journal anniversary :0)

Love the pics of Jasmin trying to get your sonic screwdriver :0)

Jasmin and the sonic screwdriver are hilarious! She looks so determined, bless her!

[bramblyhedge.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHA! Those toasters are the greatest thing ever! XD

Oh, Jasmine. So fuzzy and adorable and unutterably geeky. Looks like she wants to be more sonic. ;P

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I know. I WANT ONE!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I laughed so much when I saw her doing it. :-D

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She's a very determined little kitten.

The only way I can be on-line with her in the room (as now) is by hanging a stuffed fish on a bungee from a knob on my chair so she'll play with that and not either climb all over my desk and keyboard, or knock things over. :-P I'm sure you know what that's like, and you have two of them!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

If they sold them here, I'd buy one.

Jasmin is a geeek! She sits all over my Doctor Who scarf too, and bites the yarn.

[azdak.livejournal.com]

Mowgli is fascinated by the cursor, so he'll sit staring at the screen without moving, but Mephisto is a pain. He's not a particularly cuddly individual, but computer time is lap time as far as he's concerned, and he will insist on climbing up my leg in order to get there.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ouch!

Tessa liked being on my lap and I had to type round her while she rested her chin on my arm and purred. I've had Jasmin on my lap, but only about twice; she's got far too much energy to burn.

[azdak.livejournal.com]

That's the big advantage with having two - they use up all their energy fighting each other all over the house, so when they interact with humans, it's because they want a bit of peace and quiet!

[marah-sarie.livejournal.com]

Jasmin is simply too adorable to be believed. :)

And Happy LJ Anniversary!

Did you see this toaster? It hooks up to the computer and will toast any image or text. It's not in production yet (and may never be) but I think that would be the coolest ever- you could get very creative.

Jasmin is wonderful!

I did once run across a comic in a multimedia zine where the doctor had a cat he named Harry because it was clumsy and always knocking things over.
