So, a cat-related post means I’ve got to comment with a photo (can’t believe I forgot this in my previous comment). Here’s Fearless, looking all chill (his chillest, in fact):

A. There’s a song my Dad used to sing. It’s in the Yorkshire dialect, it’s set on a moor in Yorkshire (Dad spent part of his younger years there), and is called “On Ilkley Morr Baht’At” which translates to “On Ilkley Moor Without a Hat”. Since you’re on the moor without your hat, you catch your death and after that:

If I do die alone, and if I am lucky enough to be the person to a cat or cats at that time, I hope they consume me, ’cause I won’t be putting their kibble/canned food out and I don’t want them starving.

This sounds as if an adoption agency had some ‘written religious or moral conviction” against couples of mixed ethnicity adopting, it could also be codfied as allowable. And I have zero doubt that there are people out there that would be just fine with that.

One of my closest friends is a working musician (he’s worked with many ‘name-brand’ musicians and is 100% comfortable not being ‘name brand’). He’s in his mid-60s and has made a living making music since his late teens/early 20s.  He tours 45-48 weeks of the year and his home is on the East End of Long Island.  His…

I asked once why…

William Jackson Harper?

I saw a prediction on Twitter that God is Mindy St. Clair.

It the show lasts long enough when they get to the appropriate time period:

Open floor plans are crap. In addition to all the salient and excellent reasons against them previously noted by others, who the fuck wants their cooking smells all over the house/apartment? 

Another question worth asking is whether this gives the green light for other national governments to do the same. It was a question asked in an editorial from the Times of India about the India/Pakistan situation (tried to find it online, no luck): what if the Indian government deems a Pakistani general to be a…

Now that’s a movie I’d watch. 

Having the shared experience with Mum sounds lovely. Hope it goes well & the recent convo feeling carries thru.
