Jen sent me this mouse hunting video a few hours ago. The mouse got away. It is still in the house somewhere but it is currently avoiding the kaiju-esque cats.
Now… do videos from Flickr work on WordPress.com? Let’s find out. (note: the embedded video player from Flickr for some reason includes about 10 miles of white space in the actual post. Scroll down… WAY down to see the clip)
I am in the office today. That’s a shame because Jen is sending me play by play updates of the cats playing with a (terrified beyond measure) mouse in the kitchen.
The poor thing doesn’t realize that the cats are trying to play with it. I don’t think the cats are smart enough to know they are supposed to be mouse hunters who eliminate the home invaders. They just see it as a super fun toy.
Jen sent video. I might have to share it. The cats are adorable. The mouse is also adorable, though scared out of its wits by the two gigantic, furry, monsters that are chasing it around.
The last time the cats had a mouse cornered and I wasn’t home Jen was able to drop a bowl over the mouse and the cats lost interest quickly. When I got home I took it outside and set it free. Here’s hoping we can do the same today.
She looks like I feel. I had a crappy night’s sleep last night.
I told the cats that I was lucky because I have two hands that allow me to pet them both at the same time.
The funeral is over but we are not home yet.
Robin is probably waiting patiently… or sleeping.
Lily thinks I should stop slouching and sit up straight.
Someone is insistent on getting attention. Pet me, damn it!
Happy Labor Day, everyone.
It’s September 1st again. On the last five September 1sts I kicked off a new Photo a Day Challenge. This year is no different.
It just dawned on me that as I start the sixth consecutive year, I am technically half way through a Photo a Decade Challenge.
I am such a nerd.
Photo number 1/365
Just for luck, this was an alternate.
Well, today is the big day. On September 1st of last year I kicked off my fifth consecutive photo a day for a year project. With today being the last day of August that means that taking some random pointless photo today will wrap up the current instance of the challenge. Success, again!
But what should the subject be? I’ve already posted pictures of one of my guitars today. Should that be the official project-completing snap? Naw.
I went out to run errands today and took one pic. Should that be the winner?
Naw, that’s not the one. What about cats? Most of this years photos have been of cats. How about this one I took of Robin?
That could be a good choice, especially since she slept through it the way she sleeps through almost everything. No…. I can do better, I think.
Yeah… that’s the winner. Miss Lily. Photo number 366 of 365. The winner. Success, yet again.
The sixth consecutive photo a day project will likely start tomorrow. I can see how excited you all are. Especially the cats… they are both asleep again.
