BelialWhile I'm hibernating the next six weeks, thought I would show who will be right by my side enjoying the nothingness of vacation. Belial came to our lives about two years ago after we had to put our previous kitty, a beautiful Applehead Siamese named Tweak, to sleep because of various health complications.
Cindy and Tweak, 2005
Cindy and Tweak, 2005Throughout my life, I've always owned cats. Belial is special because he's more like a dog, really. Very responsive, devoted and always wanting to hang out with his humans. I hear that's a common trait of this breed, Burmese, and even as I type this he's on my lap vying for attention.
The most-asked question I get from other pet lovers, "How did you choose his name?" is often answered with a short reply, "From an early '80s horror movie."
Just what movie? Just what character? The title is "Basket Case," and the tagline for the flick reads: The tenant in room 7 is very small, very twisted and very mad. Much like this tenant of the same name, kitty is quite cranky and always wants to be fed.
It's just one of many cheesy B-horror movies that Mark collects. I'm often subject to watching these with him just because I have nothing else better to do, and I find myself actually enjoying the films in my own twisted way. For sure, anything put out by Troma is a hit!
Word is that Belial will be starting his own blog soon to keep himself busy while I immerse myself in books over this winter holiday...I'll keep you posted on what he comes up with.
All I want for Xmas is...
two A marks in my current classes to keep up my 4.0...sorry had to toot my own horn there.
