Since I used PayPal to buy tickets to a gaming convention for myself and my little brother Benjamin, Dad said I could use his credit card (or, rather, the credit card I have that's on his account) to make purchases of equal value. Since I've been good with my finances for the past month, I can afford to spend this money on something fun.

So the question is...yarn or a computer game?

I don't really have a knitting project in mind for after I finish my socks, although I think I might want to do a lacy (although not necessarily "lace") black shawl to go with my Renaissance Fair costume. This would be a good time to start it if I want to have it done by September, which is the height of the RenFaire season.

For a computer game...well, new ones usually cost fifty or sixty dollars, and I can only spend 45 dollars because that's how much I paid for the tickets - although I can get a recent-but-not-new game at Target or something for that much money. However, I don't know of any games that I really want to get. Maybe Fable? I love RPGs, I've heard good things about it and it's been out long enough that the price has probably gone down.

I'm looking for input here - so should it be yarn or a computer game? Hmmm...

Roo's actual (estimated) birthday isn't for almost two weeks, but I was so excited by the idea of getting her a present that I went out and bought one anyway. Since Roo lives to play not-fetch (that is, she likes it when I throw toys and she can run after them and pounce on them, but she won't bring them back), I decided to get her something called a "cat fisher." It's a miniature fishing pole with a mouse toy "lure" on the end. It can apparently cast up to 40 feet away, but I can't get that kind of distance in the apartment. I've tried it a few times and Roo seems to like it - she chases the lure and follows it when I reel it in. However, I'm going to hold off using it more for a while - Roo is panting again and I just turned on the air conditioning. I want her to cool down before she goes through strenuous exercise.
