Wow, people really enjoyed Round Bird yesterday. I wonder if I have some other bird sketches that I've totally forgotten about that people might enjoy. I doubt they're as round, though. 🤔

"I doubt any of them are as round", I think to myself and open the folder of scanned paintings... I mean, it's not as good as Round Bird but it's still quite round. According to my notes this is a Siberian Jay, and I recall it being a 30 minute sketch in desperation to make a birthday card for someone on a very tight deadline.

If I could invite you to gaze upon the boy?
This is what I saw when I woke up, opened my eyes and turned. The light, the shadow, the little dainty sit!

I have just read this sentence: "Usually I pick up Starbucks for my morning coffee because it's closer than my local coffee shop and I don't have to put on real clothes to drive through it..."

And I'm just. Staring into the distance in European. You DRIVE to get COFFEE before putting on your CLOTHES? You can't be bothered to put on clothes because you haven't had your morning coffee but you will DRIVE to a fully another location that isn't YOUR FUCKING HOUSE to get it??? You will operate. The machinery! On the roads, that you share with other people! To drive to a location?? When you could just make it at home??

I try not to judge but, dear reader, I am fucking judging 😶

This reminds me of the three fast food drive-throughs in the small town next to me, all of them right next to mostly empty parking lots. What's the idea?

@sinituulia I have known a couple of couples, although not well, who had no kitchen in normal sized houses that they owned. One couple moved from the city to the countryside near the town of Aberaron, but not in it and promptly ripped out the kitchen. They had a primary school age child. Went out for every meal and every drink. The choice is not great in that tiny town.

@sinituulia How… how is a Starbucks they need to *drive* to “closer” than their “local” coffee shop?? Or is it just about hiding in the car because they’re not actually dressed, and they’re *driving* to a coffee shop they could get to on foot?? Also, yes to everything you say about just making coffee at home! I can understand picking it up on one’s way to work, but the no real clothes thing makes me think the person is headed back home afterwards, so buying coffee from a coffee shop in those circumstances is just absurd.

While Pörri still slightly struggles with blanket technology, he has quite efficiently conquered boxes, and has once again gotten rid of the lid keeping him from napping on my exercise clothes. Not in frame: Karvinen staring at him, because now he wants to be in the box, too.

A picture worth a thousand words or at least a hundred.

Rest your gaze upon a wriggly boy, should you like. Pörri, the littlest sir, does this thing where he'll roll around on the floor lost in his little kitty world, and then make eye contact with you and roll some more.
Yesterday he was doing it on my lap.

Here, have this little clip of Karvinen trying to calibrate to the optimum head tilt angle that will make me pay attention to his polite requests:

Here's some exceptionally soft cats to soothe your wrinkled brain. Sometimes the brain has too many wrinkles!

Should you be able to, I'd recommend drinking coffee in bed while watching a show on a tablet while two cats nap on your legs. It's quite nice. Truly the life!

A cat on a quilt, for your #CatsOnQuilts needs!
He really likes napping right there, it's his spot.

Here's a triple nap cat gif for your wrinkled brain needs, from my archives of the boys being cute.
Observe the toe stretch, the camera not knowing what to make of the lighting!

A cat gif to soothe your wrinkled brain.
Often for self care you hear things like "Drink water!" and such, but I'd rather have you consider the possibility that in the grand vast unknowability of the universe, it's perhaps possible you'll some day reincarnate as a cat and receive gentle little head licks from another cat. That's the dream!

Here's one of my most powerful cat gifs, if you'd like one.
Within it Karvinen tries to be cute, fails in an unexpected way, and then does a very smooth save, but it is also nominally a selfie.

Working down the list of photos I was too tired to post, here's some twins on a quilt.

Meanwhile, something tells me that Kerv likes being on the top shelf. I just have a feeling.

Everything is terrible. Might I invite you to look at some cats in flower pots?
I used to grow chillies and the boys very much enjoyed them, especially for napping and havoc purposes.

First there was one, then two, then three cats napping on the quilt. Cats on quilts, it's visually and emotionally pleasing.

One of the many things I enjoy about black cats that at any given time they'll look like they're gently but unexpectedly experiencing unknowable mysteries of the universe and having their little minds blown - just because their faces and eyes are like that!

A brief cat report: I've been enjoying having the cat food on the table, it's so much easier to wash the plates and fill the bowls...
But I also gave them this little stepladder so they'd have an easier time getting onto the desk. Which led to the ginger sir daintily sitting down to have his meals. That's his chair now!

The orange sir, he has been upon the cat shelf again!
