So, my boyfriend has been really down lately because his mom has some health issues, and the past few weeks have been worrying and stressful.

He thinks cats are super cute. We’ve talked about getting one in the past, but have decided not to. The main reason we haven’t done it is that cats aren’t allowed in our apartment, but nearly everyone else who lives here has one. He mentioned getting a cat again the other day.

I thought the idea of getting a cat would cheer him up. I decided today to find out a bit more about owning a cat, and then looked to see where I would even get one from (we couldn’t rescue one because again, we’re not supposed to have them in out apartment), and I saw an ad from a local lady asking for £10 each for two six week old black male kittens and the pictures showed the most outrageously cute, fluffy little things I have ever seen. I instantly phoned my boyfriend and told him to check out the link, and he agreed. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, figuring out all the costs, and whether we could look after them properly, we decided we had to have them. 

My boyfriend messaged the lady selling them, who said she is glad they are going together because they really love playing with each other, and we should be bringing them home tomorrow. 

I called into the pet shop on the way home to get them all the things they need (bed, litter tray, toys, carrier, etc). I can’t wait to get them now!

I got them two different collars to make sure I can tell them apart, and we are just trying to think of some goth-y names for them now.

Turning Children’s Drawings to Toys by Child’s Own Studio

Remember all that crazy shit you drew as a kid? True story: when I was but a wee lad I was fond of drawing bones with wings on them. There was a whole family of them. Why? Who the hell knows, kids are weird! But how awesome would have been if a cool company like this existed: where they take children’s drawings and convert them to real world toys. Maybe one day my Flying Bones with faces can get the same treatment. Check out tons more at their flickr

I love Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, especially the musical episodes.

Franklin Hoenikker, Cat’s Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut

Next to “Papa’s” portrait was a picture of a narrow-shouldered, fox-faced, immature young man. He wore a snow white military blouse with some sort of jeweled sunburst hanging on it. His eyes were close together; they had circles under them. He had apparently told barbers all his life to shave the sides and back of his head, but to leave the top of his hair alone. He had a wiry pompadour, a sort of cube of hair, marcelled, that arose to an incredible height. This unattractive child was identified as Major General Franklin Hoenikker, Minister of Science and Progress in the Republic of San Lorenzo. He was twenty-six years old.
