Why such a sort entry tonight?  Cat(s) got your tongue?

Actually, I'm doing something I thought I'd never do again -- I'm working on an entry over multiple days, writing, editing and trying to tighten what is already an overly long entry. 

(Bonn came into the room last night and asked, "What are you doing?"  When I told her she didn't skip a beat before asking, "Why would anyone want to read that?  I mentioned that I write for myself, what I want/need to write about.  If people want to read it, that's fine by me.  If not, I'm not terribly put off by that fact)

Anyways.  It's a short one tonight with just two things to comment on:

1.  Good friends zombiefodder and yes_rhade welcomed me into their home yesterday in the early evening, graciously accepting the overly late return of their scanner and a good-sized stack of manga that I carried with me.  (One of the neighborhood kids was actually waiting, somewhat impatiently, for me to arrive so he could make off with the Hellsing manga) 

I left, an hour or so later, with a stack of manga twice the size of the stack I returned.  (They really need to come up with an Official name for their, um, library collection)

With thanks and appreciation I dedicate the above picture.  It's their own neighborhood version of Matango, just a block and a  half away from their driveway.

2.  photoconcept is alive and active again.  This month's theme is Mundane.

The idea is to take something mundane in your life and use your camera to capture it in an artistic light.

Y'all join in now, ya hear?

I know, I know, it's the lowest form of internet cliché, but I stared at that picture for about 3/1000 sec. before my mind's voice started screaming "BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER...."

Oh great - now that will be the only thing I can think of when I drive past that house every day. :-)

"A snaaaaaaaaaaaaaake. A snaaaaaaaaaaaaake."

What? "Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Mushroom Mushroom..." or Mantango? :-)

(Maybe you could alternate days)

Having forgotten about that annoying-as-heck flash annmation, I'd like to thank you, personally, for ramming that annoying song back into my brain.

Always at your service, sir.

It's my neighborhood. And remember to visit again, more manga is on the way!!

[fivecats.livejournal.com]

Silly me. I thought it was a shared neighborhood!

And of course I'll visit again. I have to return this shelf's-worth of books eventually!
