Playing along with the Self-Portrait Meme:
Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair... just take a picture.
Post that picture with no editing (except to reduce the size, of course).
Post these instructions with your picture.
Here's me with my little hammie in front of part of my bookshelves. He's the brown-and-white lump on my arm, just below the photo of Theodore Sturgeon:

And just to prove I've followed the rules, a bonus shot. Guess who just dove from my arm? I think I'm saying something along the lines of, "Oh, no! Mr. Hammie-Boy!"

(No worries; he landed on a cushion.)

Nope; in fact, his ears had barely expanded out to their full span (he'd been nestling in for the night when I rudely interrupted him for his moment of fame).

Though perhaps not dressed quite as well, and unshaven. And with a hamster.

Yet this year I had to donate about 500 books to make room.

When the paint finally (finally!) dried, I got to empty the 50+ boxes of books that had been sealed away from before we went off to Japan for last year's WorldCon. That nearly filled the thing. Now I'm looking at building two thirds of the thing again, on the facing wall. It's only two thirds because that wall contains the archway entrance to the room. Still, it would make me very very happy to have more shelf space.

I suspect that, eventually, I'll just have rodents outside: "my" squirrels, bunnies, and yard-mouses.

i can't see theodore sturgeon in the pix, but you and hammie are SO SASSY!!! the second image made me laugh. he's camera shy!!

Actually, the best way to ensure that cats stay away from hamsters is to let the hammie run around in a Ball of Speed Magnification, terrifying the cats. After that, cats smell hamster and think, "Eeek! It'll roll over my tail!"
