Alien
There was an alien in my house last night. It came twice, in fact.
There I was, trying to get to sleep after a cosy evening in with Himself watching Firefly, when all of a sudden I'm awoken by the sound of my Poppy-cat growling out on the landing. So I investigate, and there it is - an alien cat venturing upstairs to see what it could see.
Now, this cat is an alien but not a stranger - it's been sneaking in stealing food for quite some time now. At first I thought it might be my Macavity cat come back, because I couldn't get a close enough look at it to see more than a flash of tabby, and the MO is much the same, but I know now that it isn't Macavity, just another tabby of similar ilk.
Apparently tabby cats are my fate, or something.
Anyway, I chased the cat out of the house, because I really can't have aliens coming in disturbing my sleep and my cats' equilibrium in the middle of the night. Went back to bed, fell asleep - and blow me down if about three hours later the exact same thing doesn't happen again.
I hope this isn't going to be the start of an ongoing trend. I need my sleep - and Poppy's nerves won't stand for it!
So, that's the story of the cat called Alien.

He would dearly love to get me into Stargate - we've already watched one episode together. For my part, I'm thinking Classic Doctor Who might be the ultimate challenge...

I've tried watching Stargate a few times, but it doesn't seem to stick with me very well. Classic Doctor Who is definitely worth a shot though.
