The Cat Video Post

It's an ongoing joke, a running gag, a cantering drollery among those closest to me: my knowledge of youtube cat videos. So here, not very reluctantly, is my List.

Magical War Poodle

Some passing thoughts and recommendations from the summer months:

After Cathy's demise, Wuthering Heights is s-l-o-w. The death of the best and most infuriating character occurs about 6 hours into the audiobook version. For the remaining 6 or so hours, Heathcliff persists in his domestic scheming, young Linton whinges a lot, young Cathy is spirited like her mother and Ellen Dean remains shockingly shocked at Heathcliff's godlessness. Gradually the cast fades out due to one deprivation or another. Warmth. General resilience. Broth.

Phlox and Fatty

Firstly, a google image search for 'phlox':





Secondly, following a friend's message containing a link to David Sedaris reading 'Fatty Suit' on This American Life, the rarely-helpful gmail sidebar had this list of search suggestions:

>Bathing Suit
>Mens Suit
>OMP Suit
>Fatty Liver
>Valentines
>Romantic Gifts
 
In an unsuccessful attempt to bring this entry full circle (hoping against hope to get further images of phlox), I googled 'romantic gifts':
 



Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day.
