Okay, it’s an ad for the Gap of all places… but it’s 2 years old and amusingly executed.

Monster Cat: Post-Thanksgiving Naps
Categories: Cats, comics, Monster CatUsually it’s Abby who sleeps the sleep of the dead, but this time Tasha was clearly in need of some serious z’s! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! We may treat the cats to some tuna today to make up for not bringing home leftovers for them.

Random musing from a zooming mind
Categories: Books, Cats, iPad, Music, Random, Travel
Bonus music today! Random Acts of Culture! The Opera Company of Philadelphia and many area choirs got together to sing in Macy’s. The organ featured in the event is the Wannamaker Organ, a National Historical Landmark and an impressive 101 year old instrument with 28,500 pipes. I love events like this and I’m reminded that I miss singing.
Tasha is snoring as she sleeps in the sunbeam on my desk. Even though she’s no longer technically a kitten (and never was, according to Monster Cat), I still think of her snoring as “little kitten snores” and, of course, adorable. The other two tails… er.. cats are sacked out on the chair.
Yesterday, I survived the grocery store! I went over early afternoon thinking that it would be less chaotic. I’m sure it was less chaotic than it will be today but the store was still rather packed. Lines were short at checkout at least! But I have everything I need to make pies and such for the holiday.
I have a rather serious book problem. Putting a book down is difficult, even if it’s not a terribly good book. I found a new feature to using an iPad as an eReader last night: the battery can run out and kick you out of your book thus making you go to sleep by 3 a.m. I think, perhaps, I should never start reading on my iPad unless there’s less than 20% of the battery power left. Sure, a real book doesn’t run out of power and cut you off in the middle of a page… but I think I might need the harsh cut-off to stop reading sometimes.
I’m not sure why I resist the holiday season up until Thanksgiving every year. I try to deny the inevitable and then, when I finally accept the holidays are upon me, it feels like there’s so little time left between “now” and the end of the year. I’m starting to consider what I’ll be baking for holiday gifts and feeling like I’m already behind. Some of that feeling is legitimate since I need to take at least 2 quick trips down to the office in VA before Xmas.
Lastly, if you are offended by the TSA’s latest, ineffective and intrusive security measure, please consider signing the ACLU’s privacy rights petition. There are better, more effective security methods out there. Let’s train TSA personnel to interview people (such as they do in Israel), let’s pay them a little more, and let’s stop taking off our shoes. I guess I’m lucky we haven’t had a “bra bomber” yet, but I’m thoroughly uninterested in being groped by a stranger or scanned by potentially unsafe technology. No, I won’t be flying this year.

Tuesday Tunes… A Perfect Circle – Imagine
Categories: MusicThe holiday season is about to throw us into fast forward, so, to slow us down a bit, here’s my favorite cover of a certain John Lennon song. I can’t listen to the John Lennon version anymore but I love this one.
Monster Cat: Turkey
Categories: Cats, comics, Monster CatThis strip is technically a flashback as the photos are from a “long time ago” when I lived up in Massachusetts. The turkeys tended to wander on through the yard. I suspect they did this just to harass the cats and Little White Dog Mafia members who lived in our condoplex.

Thursday Tunes… Godhead – Eleanor Rigby
Categories: MusicIn honor of The Beatles finally being available on iTunes, I am not posting The Beatles. I don’t actually like The Beatles all that much, honestly. However, I adore some of the covers of their music.
So, today I present young men wearing too much makeup doing an exquisite cover of Eleanor Rigby.
