reason for absence this time

We're moving!

We've been looking for a new place for a while now. This is partly why I haven't been posting. We currently live in a 350 square foot apartment. That means that our kitchen/living room is about 15 x 10, there is a bathroom in between that and the 10 x 12 bedroom. For two people, two packrats with computer obsessions. At its worst, only one person could be upright and standing/moving at a time. Seriously. It was most recently at its worst.
So, finally, we got a sweet gorgeous apartment.
I'll be blogging more about it coming up. Since it is sooo spacious, we'll have room to actually sort through and sell off/donate stuff. Awesome stuff.

Here are some photos:

First, the view out the back of the mountain range.

The largest living room, there are two, with the main

The wood floors are stunning, and we're within a 5 minute walk to everything.
There is also another bedroom in the front, off of the front living room.

Winged cat discovered in Northampton Mass

Me, my friend Bee and one other curious man at the Northampton DPW (Department of Public Works) Trash/Recycling Center saw one of these. Really. It was tan. I thought, hopefully, there was another cat lying on top of it, how cute would that have been. Delusional, I was. It was super skittish, but I swear it had things growing out of each
side of its back. I drew it for my bf, he was only kinda excited until I showed him this photo. What weird timing. My sighting was about one month ago. I even tried to find out what it was by googling. Little did I know I saw a tiny mythical beastie.

Winged cats have been known to exist since the 19th century, but only a handful of people have actually seen—let alone owned—one. This woman in Sichuan province watched as her beloved kitty grew angel wings on his back last summer after a bunch of female cats tried to mate with him. "Many female cats in heat came to harass him, and then the wings started to grow," she said.

Geneticists have a less romantic theory. They believe it could be a genetic defect, a skin condition, or the result of poor grooming.
