my brain meat should be tested to figure out why i’m so good at randomly discovering bizarre and fetishy flickr pools. here’s a taste:

now you’ve got to see the short slideshow, because that’s the best way to look at whatever the hell this guy is doing. i think he’s the forest gump of animal hunting ideation. no, really… look.

i’d like to get some help and info from you. first, the back-story:

i think animals are cute, and i like to meet them and hold them and all that, but i never feel the need to make them mine.

however, i went to get my hair cut on friday and there were a couple of kittens (brother and sister) hanging out at deluxe. born in the wild, they were there for socialization so i held them and played with them to help out. at one point the little girl was sitting in my hands, looking straight up into my eyes for what seemed like forever. then, while maintaining eye contact, she fell asleep and that is when my heart exploded.

paul and i went back on saturday for a play-date. the boy is super friendly and agile. he climbed me like a mountain and made himself comfortable. the little girl is a little more shy but just as inquisitive… we nearly passed out from laughing when she jumped into the waste basket.

and that’s that, my friend. we are totally owned by kittens now. they were spayed and neutered on sunday and we’ll be picking them up tonight.

here’s a picture that lisa at deluxe took… i dare you to not to fall in love. it’s impossible, i swear.

on the left, we have “snafu” and on the right, in mid-swat, we have “hermano.”

more photos here.

so consiglieri, i come to you for advice and resources. some topics of interest:

– cat hacks: creative ideas/tutorials for diy cat furniture, toys, devices, that we can cook up for ourselves

– indie cat crafters: people making original, astounding, feline fun stuffs

– musts and regrets: tools and goods that you can’t live without, and the stuff you wish you never tried

– cat-centered behavior management: nurturing and innovative approaches to teaching kittens how to be safe

– inter-species bonding: techniques for integrating kittens into a thus far bunny centered home. i’m especially interested in success stories here, you know?

to the comment section with you, stat!

i wish this song would ring out while i walk around town like my own personal soundtrack, because if it did, i’d walk so awesome.

behold “i’m shakin'” by the blasters.

who wants to buy moxie a present… anyone?

love the mixing of resin, silver and nature… plants AND dirt. clicky.

obviously, gillyweed25 is privy to all the new shit. and since we’re doing lebowski, you should see this too… we got a little crazy but it’s so hard to stop.
