Hockey is back, meaning it's time for me to spend the next month being absolutely baffled by players moving teams.

One of my favorite sub-genres of art is Cats Stealing Food in Still Life Paintings. It’s so wonderfully disrespectful. Like Still Life with Cat by Alexandre-Francois Desportes, 1705. www.thegreatcat.org/the-cat-in-a...
Oil painting of a richly laid table - fish, bread, wine, cheese, a lemon, and oysters on the halfshell arranged on a white tablecloth. A shorthaired white and brown tabby cat peeks out from behind a basket of unshucked oysters, delicately grabbing one oyster and dragging it from the silver platter.

As Maggie would not stop scratching at a cut by her ear and making it worse, she has spent the last week or so in the Orange Neck Pillow of Citrus-y Shame. It's both effective and adorable.
A grey and white cat lies on the couch with a circular pillow around her neck like an Elizabethan ruff. The pillow looks like a slice of orange; the cat looks resigned. A chubby grey and white cat lies on a dark green chair with a circular pillow that looks like a slice of orange around her neck. She is lying on her side and looking up at the camera. A grey and white cat is napping in a dark green chair. She has a circular pillow around her neck that looks like a slice of orange and she is using it to rest her chin while she sleeps. A grey and white cat rests her chin on a circular neck pillow that looks like a slice of orange, looking disgruntled.

I have a lot to do but what if, instead, I captioned my shorebird photos?

the moral of this comic is storytelling is easy: you just get your friends to punch your story up, usually by having a character gain access to spider-man's web shooters and also spider-man's rogue's gallery

Today in Definitely Very Serious Video Game Theories, I propose that the Assassins in Assassin's Creed are actually octopuses. They can blend in with the background to the point they disappear: camouflage! They can hold so many things: extra arms! They can climb everything: suction pads! 🐙🔪

May fortune follow the stranger who responded to me going, "oh, bug spray, what a smart thing to bring" at an outdoor play by going, "here, hold out your arms, I've got you!" and saving me from the swarms of mosquitoes who had an audience buffet.

We lost power in my neighbourhood and the building tenant group chat is 50% "I have extra candles/flashlights if anyone needs them!" and 50% "awww man I'm going to have to replay that entire section of the game/my PS is going to yell at me for not properly shutting down".

I had to renew my health card today and I am very curious about how the photo will turn out because I realized about two seconds before the camera went off that the song playing in the government office was the 90s hit "Sex and Candy" and it was suddenly rather surreal.
