Photos - Pre-Christmas Fun
y2004m12d23

Christmas is my favourite time of year. My sister, Rachel, came back from her far-off university which was great too. I got all warm and fuzzy inside and took a bunch of photos. Check it!

Comment on this (0 so far) y2004m12d23 - I bought Relient K's Christmas album, Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand back in November and promised myself not to listen to it until December. I managed to keep that promise and have been listening to it since the start of December (well, not quite *every* day since). I played it while we setup the Christmas tree. Ah, nothing like some Christmas music to set the tone. Old classics with a new punk rock twist! -_^ But seriously they do have a mix of calm and vigorous.

A dangerous creature doth lurk in the shadows, waiting with keen eye and ear. OK, so it is just Telum. And the flash made the dark lair look rather un-sinister. But you get the idea.

Comment on this (0 so far) y2004m12d23 - Here he is trying to sniff the camera. He isn't that fuzzy in real. 
Comment on this (0 so far) y2004m12d23 - "So, those humans think they are in charge around here, huh? I'm actually the brains of the operation. May my reign be long and decadent - all hail King Telum!" 
Comment on this (0 so far) y2004m12d23 - Telum has been trained to sit on our laps. Normally he won't for long but I was in front of the heater here so that has a draw for Telum. The flash made his eyes white so I added the pupils. He, he, what a dopey looking cat! 
Comment on this (0 so far) y2004m12d23 - This image isn't for the faint of heart. Telum has been slowly but brutally tearing this innocent victim to pieces. We have tried getting him to stop chewing on this victim and others of its kind, but the urge must be built into Telum's cruel nature.
