Goodnight Cat

The Thanksgiving four day weekend is coming to an end and Robin the Cat just wants to go to bed.

Goodnight, cat.

Doctor Who Anniversary Episode 1/3

My step daughter and I watched the first of the three 60th anniversary episodes of Doctor Who today. I only started becoming a fan about five months ago, but I’d seen every previous episode in the most epic TV binge watch in history so this was the first time I had to actually wait for a new episode.

No spoilers as far as plot goes. It was definitely a fun watch and it fits right in with the show as it was the last time David Tennant played The Doctor. There was nothing earth shattering in it, but I enjoyed it.

One clear difference was the budget for visual effects. It has definitely been increased in a big way. It seems like they have a truck load of Disney cash to throw around and they made excellent use of it. The episode looked amazing.

I’m looking forward to next week’s second of the three anniversary special episodes. Here’s hoping the bigger budget fun continues. Enjoy.

I lost

At one point of Trivial Pursuit I had four pie pieces and Jen and Bellana both had two.

I lost. Jen won. Bellana had all six and I only had five.

I was hoping someone would suggest calling it a game at least half an hour before it ended. It was the most frustrating game of Trivial Pursuit ever played.

It was fun though.

Good So Far

I’m winning but I’ve needed multiple shots at each pie piece so far. I’m not confident at all.

Trivia

Favorite Animals

What are your favorite animals
Daily writing prompt

If you have read even a couple of days worth of posts on this oversharing blog then you know I am a cat person. I post pictures of our two cats constantly. For example:

I love cats. It’s true. All cats, even cats that would eat my head for a snack.

Yes, cats are my favorite animal.

The runner up? Deer, probably.

Mostly though my favorites are always going to be our pets. Lily, Robin, and the late great Miss Patches.

(Sort of Almost) Daily Haiku for You #91

We had our family Thanksgiving celebration today. I cut the hell out of my finger while peeling potatoes. Here, have a haiku.

Gobble Gobble Dudes!

Summarize Your Morning in Pictures

Allow me to use two photos to describe my morning……..

Yup, that about sums it up.

Moves

There will be a xmas tree today so things needed to move around. The cats are freaked.

Beach or Mountains

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
Daily writing prompt

Do I prefer the mountains or the beach… That’s kind of like asking me which of my step kids I prefer. The honest answer is both. I couldn’t pick just one or the other. One of the great things about living in New England is that we have the Atlantic Ocean right nearby, and up to the North we have all sorts of mountains. All of it is within a couple of hours drive.

I love them both. I love to go visit the ocean and the lakes scattered throughout the region. I love to go to the mountains. I am not the kind of guy who likes to lay out on the beach or go swimming, and I am not the kind of guy who likes to climb the mountains. I like to bring my camera and shoot the views, and I like to spend time with my family surrounded by the best that nature has to offer. I just really like them both.

So given all of that I cannot chose one or the other. I just like ’em both. That will have to be good enough for the writing prompt folks.
