*startled squawk*
Jun. 13th, 2007 09:46 amStep 1: Sit down and turn on computer while Spot (seen in EXTREMECLOSEUP icon) climbs into lap and settles down.
Step 2: Absent-mindedly scritch Spot with left hand while winnowing/checking email by mouseclicking with right.
Step 3: Eventually need to type stuff; raise left hand to keyboard.
Step 4: Stare aghast at the enormous ethereal mitten of loose cat fur that is stuck to left hand with static cling, with so many white flecks of cat dandruff suspended in the pale grey underfluff that, against the backdrop of dark blue jeans, it instantly evokes one of those NASA pictures of star-nursery nebulae.
(Step 5: Grit teeth and mutter "ow ow ow" so as to avoid further alarming Spot, who has reacted to the squawk by tensing up and sinking his claws through denim.)
Ow.
