Someone shared this with me last week, and I guess in honor of it I’ve been pretty much been knitting constantly and not updating this blog. I have a list of posts I’m supposed to write! (text)
All posts in media
“The real life cat lady” (video)
Facebook kept recommending that I watch this video and I guess now I’m passing it on to you. Short, well-shot video about a lady who started taking in rescue cats and now has over 700 cats & kittens she takes care of. A little something to break up the day 🙂
Work metaphors
I didn’t make it in time for your Friday 5, but I have 8 drawings to maybe make up for it. Since working I’ve started hearing the same phrases over and over again and I couldn’t help thinking about visualizing them the other day. These are apparently the things I do at work.
5+5 Favorite movies
Someone recently asked me what my top ten favorite movies are. Thought I’d share. These are the ones that I come to mind, with the caveat that I rarely watch a movie several times. In a vague order: My Fair Lady. Maybe the movie I’ve seen the most because I have a large soft spot of musicals…

Denali (movie)
My friend Jackie sent this to me and I thought it was done very well. Warning: it’s pretty sad. Denali from FELT SOUL MEDIA on Vimeo.

I saw this animated story and wanted to share it with you. A little late for a Monday Movie, but I meant well 🙂
‘Grammar, Identity, and the Dark Side of the Subjunctive’ by Phuc Tran
I finally watched this video that my brother sent me a while ago. And I think it was perfect timing because I just finished When Heaven and Earth Changed Places this weekend, a book about a Vietnamese refugee’s experiences during the war and coming back to Vietnam years later as an adult.
