It's like he KNOWS. Either that or I'm comfortable

At the moment I have a Mac on top of me. He is sleeping and purring and weighs approximately FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS. This of course being due to the law of kitty density, where the deeper asleep cats are the more dense they become. The end of the world will arrive when millions of cats all curl up in laps and sleepily purr us all into a black hole from which none of us shall ever recover. The cats, of course, will be fine.

But all in all I have no complaints about my kitty bondage, as it is a nice antedote for my day yesterday, which turned out kinda sucky. This was due to several factors that I won't go into since whining is never attractive. But suffice it to say that my day was capped off by my happy socks running out of happy. Yes, my day ended with SYMBOLISM. That is such a cruel fate. Metaphor, allusion - even polysyndeton would have all been fine. But SYMBOLISM? That's just cruel.

Clearly I need all the dense kitty snuggling that I can get.

This is me looking cute again

So as some of you know my dad is working on a book. He's at a stage now where he could use beta readers, and we have determined that I am too close to the material to be of any use. (Also he needs a basic spelling/grammar check and we all know I suck at those)

Might any of you out there be interested in betaing for him? It's non-fiction, but it's in the form of anecdotes so it reads like stories. Also the stories are fairly wee. In total I believe it's about 50,000 words but because of the format this can easily be chopped up and sent out to multiple beta readers in pieces.

Spelling/grammar is a key one. Anything above and beyond that is also helpful and appreciated, but that's the baseline.

If interested, let me know in the comments and/or email. You shall have my undying gratitude in return =)

ETA: If you could also mention how much you think you could beta at once that'd be fab. Thanks!
