Maya, having a normal one
A Siamese cat sits at the edge of a pink sectional with her little front paws a-danglin, a serene expression, and a world-championship farmer's tan.

The pudding pops, Pete and Repetra (Matty and Maya).
Two portly Siamese rescue cats in the foreground of a living room with a haphazard gallery wall. The cat on the left is looking at the camera, and the cat on the right is looking past the cat on the left. Both insist they have never been fed.

No Blood Forest in the White House holiday decor this year, though, wait a minute -
The White House's Grand Foyer features basic Christmas trees with white lights and red-wrapped gifts beside the doorway to the Red Room, flanked by a larger-than-life painting of blood-spattered Donnie raising his fist. Happy Holidays or something!

Friendsgiving intrigue! The candle I lit & left in our bathroom became a FIRE POT after a short career of burning normally; the entire surface was 4” flames. I blew it out & left the room for a second; it was so hot that when I returned it had RE-LIT ITSELF. It was, amusingly, an A24 candle
Hand holding a large black glass votive candle with the top half of the light blue label scorched black. The genre was ostensibly MUSICAL but pretty clearly HORROR.

Some #Caturday science: Here’s my seal point Siamese rescue, Matty, last August (when it was hot as balls in the city & he was about to be diagnosed with mild hyperthyroid) vs now, 7 mos after resolving his condition. Pointed cats change color like whoa! Also: radioiodine treatment is worth the $$$.
A Siamese cat’s head and ears, seen from above and behind; they are somewhat translucent and the fur is light brown and fine.The same Siamese cat with much thicker fur and far darker, almost brown-black points and muzzle; the ears are now opaque.

There were 700 of us in Lisbon! Expats came in from all over Portugal!
A crowd of protesters beneath an equestrian statue in Lisbon’s Praça do Comércio plaza; one waves an American flag upside down, and another has a sign reading DEAR PORTUGAL, WE ARE SO SORRY - AMERICANS ABROAD AND AGAINST.

The ferrets have agreed to a ceasefire.

Local Kid Says The Quiet Part Out Loud RE: Bodega Cat
A plexiglas display with Kinder eggs and gum at an NYC corner store feature’s a kid’s colored-marker drawing of three stick figures and a cat in this same spot and reads, TAAVI CAT LUCY / LUCY IS THE CUTEST CAT I HAVE EVER SEEN [said cat, not pictured, has marbled grey and white fur and is indeed devastatingly adorable]

These are my wee lapis and big old labradorite orbs. Is it kind of basic to enjoy orbs? Yes. Is it unspeakably comforting to heft an orb while you pace your apartment and stew? Also yes. I’m not woo-woo about them but one does know by feel when one’s got A Good ‘Un
On a white oak bookshelf, an apricot-sized, deep blue lapis orb sits beside a fist-sized iridescent labradorite orb with thin black veining and an oceanic blue-green sheen. Green and purple tradescantia leaves frame the orbs, and behind them a small black cloisonne apple perches on a stack of five books.

Here’s one of my favorite rocks! It was a gift from my dad, and looks like a little pocket palace in interplanetary winter. I can show you some more if you like.
A liwi-sized geode with a feathery white interior that looks a bit like it was carpeted with hairy moth bellies. I think the spray is scolecite?

David Lynch in Twin Peaks as Gordon Cole, dressed in a black suit jacket with a white shirt, black skinny tie, and FBI badge. The caption reads, in one of my favorite lines of Lynch dialogue, "And when you became Denise, I told all your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."

Happy new year! Thirty years ago last night, my high school boyfriend’s mother made me sleep in the living room under the Christmas tree so I wouldn’t corrupt her son before we all went to the Rose Parade.
Close-up photo of a Christmas tree with large eyeball ornaments and white twinkle lights. This is at my house, where two husky Siamese rescue cats sleep under the boughs so they can drink that sweet, sweet Old Fir Water.

my dream scenario is nathan crowley, the production designer, teaming up with robert eggers to adapt NORTH WOODS and somehow achieving an authentic time-lapse development of Osgood's Wonder. let's span some centuries, gentlemen!
Still of the scene in GOOD WILL HUNTING where Matt Damon shows a phone number on a bar napkin to a ponytailed preppie, i.e. "How do you like them apples?"

Ye “office,” 2024. Usually a surprisingly good place to work, but both the street below and the apartment above me have been under violent and inefficient construction since the dawn of time. #writing
