New Simon's Cat

I'm sure your well aware of how much I like the Simon's Cat shorts. A new one hit the tubes and I can't resist posting it. As a cat owner I think they do a good job characterizing the cat. This one they have the cat doing that weird jaw thing that cats do when they get excited about seeing something they want to chase. Obviously the creators are cat owners, I've seen my cats do that several times and wonder why. I'm not a big fan of of the cat pointing like a human, I wish they could stay in character more. But it is funny so I'll let it go.

Still Doing Stuff

Haven't posted in a while, not because I don't have anything to say, I've just been up to my tits in life stuff. Moving, packing, flying that sort of thing. It has kinda consumed my life. Hopefully things will settle down in the next few weeks and I'll be able to post more.
