This #Caturday, Mrs. Peel recommends Elena Passarello's 2017 collection of essays about animals as immortalized in human lore, culture and iconography. Good pick, Mrs. Peel.

Happy #Caturday, from our acrobatic treat-schnagging tabby, Mrs. Peel.[sound UP!]

We watched Mac and Me (1988) for the first time last night. What the how the who the holy holy.

Of course I expected it to be full of product placements and like a cornier (?) version of ET, but I was not prepared for... what the hell was that?

Kudos to the child actors — they surely did well with very little, but... what the hell was that?

And they wanted to make a sequel?

#Spring is here,
but this is clear:
it's still too soon
to wear short underwear.

Here's a dewy crocus from my front yard exploding with buttery felicitations for you on this first long weekend in Spring, Mastodon!

THE MUSEUM CONTINUUM

High end:
The Louvre, Paris

Precious works of historical importance are curated such that future generations might behold their greatness and enjoy them forevermore.

Low end:
A garage sale, near you

Items of some residual value are displayed so that passers-by might enjoy a glance into their neighbour's purchasing history; the collection is elastic — the curator is happy to loan out exhibits for a modest fee.

I get the first bit, but the bibbity stuff is all Greek to me, sadly.
