Two radically different interpretations of the venerable sport of cat bowling:
The traditional version.
The Japanese take on it.

So, head over here to Cute Overload today to observe why curiosity killed the cat. (No cats killed or harmed in this video; it's just a very good illustration of a cat's urge to explore/hunt a mysterious object conflicting with the same cat's twitchy suspicion that Something Bad may happen if it sticks around said mysterious object too long. Curiosity, predictably, wins.)
Early Caturday post

of course, I fell asleep yesterday morning - *before* I had to hand in the "bloody thing." Laid down, "only to rest my back a bit", fell asleep, and slept right through the time I should have handed it in. Thankfully, there's still Monday, or I'd be truly screwed...
But. I did get the four copies bound, and they're on my desk now looking like a proper manuscript for a book or something. (I used recycled paper - I'm pretty sure that's unusual for a thesis, but hey, why kill trees for 440 pages that will mostly be thrown away/filed away unread? I mean, only two of these copies are going to get read at all, the other two are for the library and for the archive, and the archive copy gets thrown out in five years. And nobody will ever read the library copy either.)
I'm exhausted beyond belief - had a friend here for some Simm watching and so on, yesterday evening, but went to bed quite early (she was tired, too); slept in, today, and then, after breakfast, went back to bed for another four hours of dozing, drifting in and out of mindfic. I'll have to start working really hard on Monday to prepare for exams, but today and tomorrow I'll just relax. I need that. (Possibly do some fannish stuff... write... read some LJs... prepare an entry for the FS vid recs blog...
Oh, and I actually cleaned up my room yesterday, for the first time in four months, and cooked dinner, also for the first time in... I don't know how long. So I'm starting to return to civilisation. Can't describe how wonderful it feels not to be disgusted by the chaos and dirt in my own room anymore. It had gotten so bad I didn't feel comfortable walking without shoes anymore, because the floor was so dirty. *shudder* (I have a parquet floor - dust bunnies galore. Plus, we had snow for a while = lots of muddy dirt in the streets, which of course gets carried into the flat, especially with four people going in and out every day. And of course there were stacks of paper everywhere on the floor.)
I feel like I'm recovering from some disease, some kind of fever or something; something that leaves you all weak and kinda empty-feeling.
Oh, it's Caturday, isn't it? Here. This kept me sane through the last week or so:

(What? It cheers me up! And all those hours spent on youtube have to be worth *something*...)
These cats are ugly, but the video absolutely kills me. Keep your attention on the left one's head/face.

Here. Have some synchronized remote-controlled kittens.

(Make sure to watch at least the first and the last clip, if you're impatient. I actually think the funniness is enhanced by watching all four, but your mileage may vary.)
