I hate this month. Not because anything particularly terrible has happened - there's just something about it that feels heavy, every year.

I won't be sad to see the backside of it, though I know spring's still a bit away.

The only serious decision I'm making this week is whether or not I am finally getting another cat.

I have a white persian named Elsa, now. Most of my furniture is white, as is my carpet, but I'm thinking a black one. Maybe a dark brown tabby.

So.

If I manage to bite the bullet without making thirty three spread sheets:

Which color and what names should go into the possibility pool?

Does this mean I can make more spreadsheet remarks?

I think it means you're obligated.

How is that awkward. It can be Anakin Jr.

All right, but we call him Jr. when you're around, otherwise I have to specify human Anakin and that feels weird.

I feel like I've won something.

How many spreadsheets have you devoted to names alone?

The rate things are going, allergies are the least of our problems. [he runs a hand through his hair]

You really sure you want to bring an animal into this environment?

I don't really know enough about cats to offer more specific advice than that. What do you put on a spreadsheet for that?

You've got me curious. What sort of stuff does one even put on a cat spreadsheet? Color? Wet food versus dry? After that I don't get much.

You have.

A cat named after you.

Four, but I think Anakin's convinced me on the cat being black and named it so they're obsolete now.

Which, New York or my apartment, because if the former it's already in the environment and if the later I'm pretty confident I won't light it on fire.

Mostly just pros, cons, and an expense report.

Color. Gender. Name potential. Pros and cons to each color and gender combination. Pros and cons to a second cat at all.

You really go pretty deep into this, don't you. [it only serves to make her a little more fond of him, honestly. it's so needlessly complicated to her, but so important to him. she loves finding differences in her friends.]

Is this where someone's supposed to say you excel at pet planning?

The best prize. I can't wait to meet him.

Oh, what did he name it?

I think this might be one of those "follow your heart" things, as cliche as that sounds.

I mean this. Us. Portals. Killer robots. Whatever the hell this Different thing is going to throw at us next.

...you're going to do well with Bail.

The pun's a dead give away.

I'll call as soon as I have him.

Junior.

I am so bad at that.

Eh. I'm pretty content that won't burn the house down either, and if it does it'll burn down enough of New York to take most of us out, cats included, whether it lives in my house or not.

Do you consider that a good thing or a bad thing, Ben?
