Pandora is back in her spot behind the video rocker, in her little donut bed. She really is too large to fit comfortably in the donut, though, so it’s been replaced by a new scratching mat since I took these photos last week.

Who’s a Bird?
I’ll have you know that I didn’t once talk like a pirate today, but I did have Pickles the Parakeet on my shoulder.
This is my first successful mobile upload to YouTube. Immediately after the phone stopped recording, Pickles pecked me right in the eye.

Not sure who left this frilly brown girl’s top (or is it a really short dress?) on a wheelchair lock in a Red Line train car. Hope she had a spare. It’s cold out.

“Brick’s”
This is a pair of sandals I bought in the Philippines a long time ago. As you can see, they are branded “Brick’s,” which I think is supposed to look like “Birks.” Anyway, a strap just broke on this pair, in an un-shoe-goo-able spot, so I took a photo for posterity before throwing the sandals out, as they have served me semi-faithfully for almost a decade.
Primary Color Cabs
Sitting outside Rosslyn station waiting for the 38B bus because of Metro screwiness, I spied these three cabs lined up across the street:
Blue Top Cab, Yellow Cab, Red Top Cab. The three primary pigments.
(By the way, the bus took longer to get there than the wait for the Orange Line, though we weren’t sure of that because the above-ground train information screens were not working. Real nice.)
Caturday!
Ever since a recent bladder mishap led to the disposal of her regular hangout mat behind the video rocker, Pandora has taken to sleeping in and around the bedroom closet.

The wall, it is not for sitting.

Iapetus GIF on APOD
It’s with some pride that I note my Cassini Iapetus animation got a small mention from NASA GSFC’s Astronomy Picture of the Day for September 15th, 2007. It’s not the main feature photo (that’s a red/blue 3D stereogram of the ridge) but I do get a link below it, on which, if my referrer log is any indication, a lot of people are clicking. So there’s another 15 minutes of fame for me, thanks to Cassini and Iapetus.
Here is an LOLIAPETUS just because I am feeling silly.
