Chris got a kitten. He insists on naming it Shade, which I think sounds like a vampire name, not a cat name. I wish she were named All Ball, like Koko the gorilla's first cat. All Ball was a Manx that Koko picked from a litter of strays, he groomed her and slept with her. When All Ball escaped and got hit by a car, Koko is said to have cried for 2 days. This was one of the first documented events of an animal expressing human emotion. Even more surprising:

 When asked, "Do you want to talk about your kitty?" 

Koko signed, "Cry."
"What happened to your kitty?"
Koko answered, "Sleep cat."
When she saw a picture of a cat who looked very much like All Ball, Koko pointed to the picture and signed, "Cry, sad, frown."

Anthony: Would you like a glass of Liebfraumilch?
Lesly: No thank you. I'll just have a glass of wine.
Marty: That's the name of the wine.
Lesly: Oh!
Lesly: I don't speak french.
Jackie-O: Who does?
Anthony: You do.
Jackie-O: Oh, that's right, I do.
Lesly: So what does that name mean?
Jackie-O: In french?
Lesly: Yes.
Jackie-O: I think it means something German.
Marty: It means, "loving mother's milk."
Lesly: You speak french?
Marty: No. German.

All of that was just a segueway to say Libefraumilch is the best wine I've pretty much ever had.

This is some of the most beautiful art and animation I have ever seen. In my favorite medium. Old fashion construction paper! Her name is Jen Stark  and I think I have a crush on her. In a straight way.

H. Vogel made a model of the pattern of the florets in a sunflower. 

It is based on the golden ratio.

It makes my eyes spin.

I find anything done with play-doh...or just clay-mation in general enchanting.

Besides the saying "Pet Peeve", I hate nothing more than tattoos, jewelry, clothing, etc. that says something on it in a different language, namely Chinese. Actually, I would probably call it my "pet peeve", if I was okay with saying "pet peeve". Mind you I don't mean REAL foreign products. I'm referring to when people get Chinese characters tattooed on their bodies, with out being Chinese, and things of that nature. Much like my hatred for tribal tattoos.

I've found something that breaks my rule. I absolutely love this necklace from Me & Ro.


Here comes the embarrassing part. I saw it on Jennifer Garner in 'Catch and Release'. Which my sister decided to get on Netflix. Apparently Netflix bullied her into by constantly putting it in its 'suggestion column'. I'm still not buying that. Regardless, I actaully thought it was a wonderful movie. Really. I'm not going to carry it around in a see through purse, but I will admit I liked it.

Really, though. Pet Peeve? Who says that?
