Today's ridiculous House Cat Project addition is this little bumble-butt who is inspired by kindergarten scribbles.

The Housecat Project continues with this ridiculous calico weirdo. Bonus actual cat, Icarus.

This week's addition to The Housecat Project is a 3-for-1. Feeling a little inspired by Matisse.
Painted cats in green and yellow.

Silliest project I'm engaging in for the following purposes: A) mental health and wellness B) anti-AI initiative I call it the Housecat Project and the TL/DR is that each week I paint a silly little cat somewhere in my house.

I mean... It's worth noting that Americanos were kind of invented to make fun of Americans.

Some things are meltdown-worthy. I'm sorry that you were put in a meltdown situation. Artists shouldn't have to live under these conditions.

As an update to the broken foot - there will be no boot. THERE WILL BE NO BOOT! But there will also be limited walking and lifting for the next five weeks.

Nothing tastes as good as justification feels. I knew something was wrong with my foot/ankle... Turns out I broke it weeks ago. Fingers crossed the doctor doesn't put me in a boot tomorrow.
Right foot: There is a healing stress fracture of the midshaft of the 2nd metatarsal.

I watched Playdate on a plane and laughed myself silly... Then started Reacher. Like, none of it is earth shattering, but it's quality violence with a side humour and that's what I like.

Do people know about Alan Ritchson? Someone should have told me. It's been a long time since I've had a crush and this is so not my usual fare, but someone should have told me.

Is it wrong to get out of the airport from a vacation and immediately go to a mani/pedi appointment? I can show my math on why I need the R&R I promise.

Season One Anya was pretty cool... Current Season Anya tries to be the type of adult Season One Anya would have loved and needed.

Thrifting, good scissors and a decent tailor is the only thing that keeps clothes on this ass these days. I wish you all the style and pieces of your dreams! Sorry the world is mostly made of plastic and AI.

This was once a great Canadian tradition as well. Like, once a month or something... But, not every friggin' day.

Today I found out my doppelganger has cancer. She was diagnosed on her 51st birthday. It's aggressive and awful. I know it's not me. Empirically I know this. I am still setting a note for my 51st birthday.

Can we use this same hellscape for folks that don't properly pronounce your name after you've corrected them 2 or more times? Ooh... Also folks that don't capitalize names in emails.

I loved the Planetarium when I was a kid. It, the ROM and Casa Loma really defined the part of my childhood I spent in and around the area. It's heartbreaking to see it go.

What if all my witchy folks gathered their power to make Tim Houston lose his hair? Like, just until the cuts against the arts are reversed. I'm barely a monster... Which is more than I can say for some premiers.

There's a dumb little rhyme I learned as a kid that has saved me most of my life. From this rule I won't depart, lips together and teeth apart. But I have an obsessive track mind that screams it at me if I clench and I feel like that is the part that actually works.

I don't think conceit is the thing. You live in a world that is designed to make all of us feel awful. If you're a creative you also get a side of useless. This global situation is a conceited failure. Not us. Definitely not you.

Maybe it's because I'm old as dust, but when events don't start on time, even recreational ones, I don't find it charming or artistic.
