Reading Update

Yikes! Creepy sculptures are VERY creepy!
Give Harry a belly rub for me!
Oh, woe is I. In the 70s I was required to confine my leg stumps in frumpy trousers. I could not wear Double Knit Fancies, as they did make them with a short enough inseam. Now I would not be able to wear them because they do not make them with a short enough inseam, or an around enough waist. Such is the lament of one who has gone from stumpy and frumpy to stumpy, frumpy, lumpy, rumpy, dumpy, bumpy and grumpy.

OMG. I did not know why the stuck boat was providing me with such pleasure until I read that Sarah Gailey post. (Yup, I read the tumblr you posted, and then linked through to the full article. So good.)
Also? Woah. The classic Enterprise is REALLY SMALL.
Cute kitties! That blanket really is just amazing. Black cats look so striking with it as a background.
