This just makes me laugh... My neighbors think I only have one cat, because they only ever see Inigo in the window. But if you open the shade, shove a chair under the sill - and voila!

Phoebe perch.

Apparently they're going to spend the next two weeks with their noses glued to the front window.

They're going to love the hatchlings!

I have a pair of doves trying to nest on my porch... Mamma is a bit nervous about people coming and going, so I'm trying to be quick and quiet when passing through.

If all goes well, in about two weeks we'll have two little baby doves! For some reason this makes me ridiculously happy...

Self Indulgence...

I bribed Mark to convert a couple of region 2 Russell Brand DVDs into something playable for me so I can amuse myself while I'm having a bunch of work done on the house... (Sometimes you have to laugh while you're kissing all your money goodbye. The alternative involves buying stock in Kleenex, and I'm not savvy enough for the current market.)

So far this month's household extravagences have involved:

1. Plumbing - Can you believe someone shoved a RAG down the tub drain at some point? Probably the same brain surgeon that poured plaster down the utility tub in the basement) and a new spigot with shut-off valve for the front of the house.
2. Electrician - new circuits and wiring for the
3. CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING - that will be going in this week.

Yes children, I'm finally joining the 21st century. Window fans are so passé.

And since I can no longer afford to leave my house, and the basement's in no condition for actual painting, I've been driven to the computer once again to indulge my creative impulses. And since I'm watching the DVDs, could there be anything more appropriate than a portrait? The answer is "no."

Still mucking about with vector...

Detail... Howard Moon... because what I need is one more Boosh screensaver!

Just starting, wanted to see how it looked somewhere besides Photoshop....

New York, New York!!

So the wonderful Ms. M and I ran up to New York on Tuesday to see Eddie Izzard at the Union Square Theatre... (ok, we didn't run - we took the train). Fantabulous! The theatre only seats 499, so it was quite small, and therefore our seats could not have been better.

Ever been to Penn Station at 3 AM? I have... it's just as strange as I remember it. But way better than driving up and having to find parking.

So now I see Eddie's starting a national tour, with a stop at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. I was going to be fiscally responsible and skip it, since I've seen him twice in the last six months. But then I gave in and bought pre-sale tickets anyway...

I'm a bad girl.
