And this is just one.

Also, a quick update on kitty names: no-tail……Newton; orange-girl……..Flora; orange boy…….Connor; grey-tail…….Lewis. Sorry about the lack of triangles, ryan. Next time… :)

And some links, to keep you occupied while I’m busy writing away with pens on paper, instead of toiling in front of my computer. Sorry, lovelies….it’s been slow but all-consuming of late. I have other things on my mind (all good).

• A gooood tutorial on doing multi-colour poster screen prints
• Synaesthesia is coming up next Thursday. The lovely Kathryn Jette (and friends) will have some of her work on display…..show up!
• Frank Black (The Pixies) talks to Ray Bradbury. Strangely, I was never that into the pixies, but I am a Frank Black and the Catholics fan. Hmm…
• Thinking of checking out the Coupland exhibit at the CCA this weekend (we didn’t make it last time). Has anyone been?
• Bauhaus is thinking about a new album. Oooooooh.
• Neutral Milk Hotel is being re-released
• The Decemberists are going to head up an Elliott Smith tribute (??). Interesting.
• Michael Palin has put all of his travel books online for free. Not in PDF format or anything, but if you feel like reading in from of your computer for a few hours….
• I want to learn how to play dominoes this summer.
• Betsy Ross pattern kits are sweet.

So….it’s been a busy day or so. Headcounts? Yes. Kitten with no tail? Also yes.

These babies need names, people. Suggestions??

I managed to inadvertently stumble across the sound and light show on parliament hill tonight – out for a walk and a long phone call with a friend, it was surprising to come across a TON of people standing on the hill. While I think the show is generally the pits, the light show makes for some interesting photos. How often do people use your most significant landmark as a projection screen?

Today was gorgeous. Had coffee with a friend late in the morning, and then packed myself a picnic lunch and took off on my bike for the arboretum, where I spent the afternoon lounging, reading a bill bryson book, getting licked by other people’s puppies (who are apparently friendly with strangers….moreso than their owners would like). Throw in a bike home, a nap, and another walk, and you’ve got a full yet remarkably relaxing, empty day. I loved every minute of it.
