Don't they teach us procrastination, don't they teach us indecision

[sovay]

On the one hand, today we found out that our bathroom sink may need replacing (it certainly doesn't work) and that Autolycus can scale an eight-foot bookcase if sufficiently motivated (spatch thinks he saw a bug).

On the other, I have written my first substantive fiction since last summer (in progress, trying not to jinx) and this photograph of Pablo Picasso cosplaying Popeye makes me feel a lot better about the state of my bedroom.

I would have been cheerful if this deleted scene from Black Panther (2018) had not been deleted.

It is my deep and devout hope that I am not woken tomorrow, for the fifth day in a row, by a phone call I did not ask for at nine in the morning.

Ah, the joys of finding actual catproof places for breakable precious things. *removes 'eight feet straight up' from the list*

Which is disturbing, since that's where we have OURS, but....our cat is a lazy, lazy cat and not that motivated by bugs?

I am super pleased on your behalf that fiction is fictionating, and wow Picaso's housekeeping sure is validating isn't it. That's a thing.

(So's that cosplay. I ... I honestly don't know how I feel about that cosplay. On the one hand, joyous self expression and on the other SIR YOU HAVE A THING ON YOUR FACE THAT DOES NOT LOOK SAFE)

I still need to go see Black Panther. All the overtime at work is destroying my ability to do anything.

In hindsight I suppose we should not have been surprised, because they have been scaling Mount Refrigerator since they were kittens, but they never before showed signs of wanting to extend their range to the bookshelves. Well, now we know.

Both Autolycus and Hestia hunt bugs for fun and protein. One of Hestia's earliest achievements as a small wild carnivore was the successful capture and consumption of a bluebottle. Autolycus ate a moth the other night and was insufferably pleased with himself.

Thank you! I am trying not to break the fiction and really enjoying it in the meantime.

For some reason I find the umbrella by the foot of Picasso's dresser that appears to have been crushed by a stack of notebooks really endearing.

I hope your work eases up soon and you get the chance. I really enjoyed it.
