Quote of the Day
"Not even a professional novelist has such a rich life of the mind as a small cat." --[livejournal.com profile] heres_luck



I've gotten through the first two chapters of Kekropia on raw mulish willpower and the mantra It doesn't suck as much as I think it does. I hope I don't look as crappy as I feel (although I do have the whole white trash chic thing going on today, with the plum-colored bra under the white men's T-shirt), because I feel like a five-day-old, lint-covered, undead Pop Tart.



[livejournal.com profile] matociquala linked to this picture of an almiqui, which may not be extinct after all. Words cannot express how much I love this animal, which is really a pretty good representation of my interior weather today. Yes. Mostly extinct, ugly, put-upon and crabby about it. [ ETA: also poisonous. ] Me.

[ ETA2: More pictures, an article (which I can't read, since it's in Spanish, but the pictures are great), and the almiqui on coinage and postage stamps. ]

My Spanish is VERY rusty, so I didn't bother with struggling through the whole article, but was amused by the caption under the almost last set of photos. It says, "Little Alex returns to his home. When will be the next meeting?" In my head I hear John Attenborough's whispery, intense nature voice, heh.

THat thing looks like a special effect from a movie. Very cool.

My god, I think I've found a new mascot.
That thing is so surreally incredible I can't believe its not a prop from a bad sci-fi movie set.
Thanks for sharing this, I truly think I have discovered my spirit guide.
