"Return to Oz". The Wheelers were creepy, but Mombi & her collection of heads was just too much. I caught on that she was planning on adding Dorothy's head to the collection when she grew up. The idea that some witch was roaming around & could steal your head was nightmare fuel.

I'm not sure what mood this is or why, but amen, cat. Amen.

It never fails to amaze me that every time I try to put fresh clean sheets on the bed, the cats magically appear. It doesn't matter what they were doing or where they were in the house, they just KNOW they need to come shed on the sheets.

56% of my results pointed to Nevada. What pushed my results there instead of focusing on Utah were due to a heavy PBS/reading influence as a kid, as well as living in Georgia for over twenty years. It's not my pronunciations, it's my picking up terms elsewhere. So... Utah, with an asterisk.

Grew up in your town, and the overlap between western UT and Nevada is close enough that I wasn't surprised at the results (56% Nevada).

He forgot to put away his tongue after bathing. He looked like this for a few minutes. We checked, he was fine, just not the least bit dignified. If anyone was looking for the orange cat brain cell last night, KB didn't have it.

While not as maddening as people wanting to argue with scientists, I enjoyed this particular interaction.

There are still some threads that need trimming, but I'm happy that my wall quilt is now done.

The quilt is done, spread it out to check for threads I missed and to get photos, both cats are now assisting by shedding all over it. I guess nothing is done without the final layer of cat hair.

I come bearing a Pierre photo. He semi-regularly helps himself to my pillows, including wrapping himself around my head while I'm trying to sleep.

The annual pollen apocalypse is heeeeeeere. Even if you don't have allergies, the sheer amount of crap in the air will irritate your eyes, nose, and lungs. May we not have a repeat of last year's record breaking misery.

Redneck problems call for redneck solutions. Atlanta's about to go into our infamously nightmarish pollen season, so it seemed like a great time to build a Corsi–Rosenthal box and hope that it'll cut back on pollen counts in the house.

Here's my afternoon. I just wanted to try to get a sense of how many more blocks I need to make/some idea of the layout. Of course that immediately meant that Pierre had to make himself comfortable right in the middle of things.

I have approximately four inches left on the last row. I am not allowed to finish, obviously.

I sort of mentally divide the year up based on what kind of sheets are on the bed. Part of me looks forward to the flannel sheets. Today was the day for swapping them out & it's fairly obvious the cats are also fans of the sheet change.

This is what life is like having a cat with a full-blown carb obsession. Those rolls were in the pantry, on a shelf at eye level (I'm nearly six feet tall). I'm not sure how he got them down, but this is where I found them this morning, covered in chew marks, bag ripped open.

One of my air plants produced twin pups. Here I am, going "awwwwwww, look at the little cute plants". I'm going to have to figure out a new place for my air plants, I'm running out of room. I have to find a spot where the orange cat can't get to them, he likes to steal them.

Oh hey, cat. You don't like being annoyed when you're trying to nap? Fancy that. I don't like being annoyed in the middle of the night. Maybe we can work out something here, what do you think?
A ticked off looking fat grey ticked tabby continues to try to nap, while his human keeps taking his photo. This may be revenge for multiple nights in a row that said ticked tabby has been loud and obnoxious in the hopes of being fed.

An unfortunately overweight grey ticked tabby attempting to nap, curled up on his side, showing annoyance at the human who keeps insisting on taking his photo instead of just letting him sleep. This may be revenge for the past few nights of said tabby bothering the human in the middle of the damned night.

“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.”
