Katakuri-ke no kôfuku – Happiness of the Katakuris.

Just watched this again, and it’s one of the few movies I do watch more than once. But it’s just so happy and sad and uplifting and poignant and…

I wuves it! I wuves it! I weally weally do!!!

If I had friends I’d go round their houses with it and make them watch, and they’d all be like: “ohMYgod! please no! not the singing and dancing Japanese movie …not again, please, please, oh please! you can send her the negatives goddamnit. I just don’t care any more! just please, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!”

Museum of Depressionist Art

From the page: “Depressionism, according to the landmark Johnson & Jansen “Big Book o’ Art Stuff,” is not limited to a single place or time. Instead it reflects the low point of an otherwise highly regarded artist’s career. Picasso’s “Blue Period” is a perfect example of this creative state of mind. Mrs. Mumblestoats describes it perfectly when she says “that boy was lower than an ant’s bellybutton.””

Some days I just really don’t know where I’d be without this site…

Already this year it’s saved me from chronic bronchites, almost certain Death By Plunging following an accidental self-defenestration incident, and the unwanted advances of a mysterious dark suited pelican who insists one being known only as The Other One.

Three cheers for the Viking Answer Lady I say!

Alexander the Great conquered almost the entire known world.

    t’s somehow kinda of tasteless and unromantic that our new digital photographs will never fade, even long after we have.

    Feel somehow that they should, history should be shrouded in mist, loves lost laid to rest, fights forgotten, lighter shadows on time darkened walls all that is remains of faded sepia prints.

    Hehe not saying I don’t like this, I love old photos the best, because they have faded, but still show that beauty and love aren’t new, but more kinda eternal, and stuff, and things, and junk.

    During the early part of the 21st century – and following the advent of the internet and cheap digital photography, stress related disorders became yet more and more frequent amongst the previously rather relaxed feline community.

    Pressured by their ‘owners’ (we use the term advisedly) to think of and adopt increasingly cutesome poses, they began to fall foul of disorders previously more common amongst such groups as japanese school children, beauty pageant entrants, and hot house child prodigies.

    This change was thought in part to be responsible for, and to have brought upon finally, the great November Uprising and Eating Nonchalently, the December Sitting on Windowsill *MAKMAK*ing at Birds, and even the Brief Nap of Mid-July.
