A Missing Eye and Vintage Chinese: Day 18

My first order of business was to complete my recap of the Suits Summer finale. I'm very happy to see that everyone is on the right side, except for perhaps what happened in the cliffhanger. If you missed it, the recap is here: "'Suits' Summer Finale Recap: Who Will 'Stay' at Pearson Specter?"

The next thing I finished was my daily nonsense post. It basically takes "punking" to the extreme: "Daily Jabberwocky: The Punk'd Man with Monocular Vision."

Today's #FMSPhotoADay prompt for Day 18 (Sep. 18) is "Vintage." My mother has a 100 year-old vintage Chinese man. You would think that my mother was Chinese, as she has always decorated her home with a bit of a Chinese flair. Even when she decorates in another style, there's always a Chinese tinge or feel to the design.

Kitties from Behind and on the Chimney: Day 17

Before I get into my daily stuff, I have some great news! In the past, I've written recaps for Person of Interest, Elementary, and Grimm for Yahoo! TV. Well, now I'll be writing tweet-caps for POI and Elementary, and gif-caps for Grimm, which will also include fan tweets. I'll be searching for fans of each show on Twitter, and creating lists of fans for each. If you'll be tweeting your reactions to one or more of these shows, please put your Twitter handle in the comments, with the name of each show you'll be tweeting about. You can also tweet me at @kristenhead with the name of the shows.

Today's nonsense comes from my thoughts about my fireplace. I don't know why I was thinking about the fireplace when it's still so hot during the day, but perhaps it comes from seeing my cats hanging out on the roof, leaning against the top of the chimney. And now it's wood the peeks out of the top of the chimney: "Daily Jabberwocky: How to Build Wood from Ash and Fairy Dust."

The #FMSPhotoADay prompt for today, Day 17 (Sep 17), is "In Front of Me." Guess what? It's another kitty photo! Miss Kitty's "behind" is in front of me:

You'll Be All Ears When I Talk about My Frame: Day 16

My Copper recap for Sunday's episode was published this morning. The episode felt strangely like a finale until the very end. It was an awesome episode, but they almost could have ended it without the little cliffhanger ending, and we would have been happy until next year. But no, they had to add something that will surely cover more than just one episode. That means we will probably have another cliffhanger in the finale. If you missed it, here's my recap: "'Copper' Episode Recap: Kevin Corcoran is a 'Beautiful Dreamer'."

Today's nonsense post is all about YOU, and you are a creature with apparently large ears who listens when you aren't supposed to, but doesn't listen when you are supposed to. Don't worry, it's just another bit of jibber jabber! Here ya go: "Daily Jabberwocky: The Eustachian Tube Gave Up Your Lax Ways."

The #FMSPhotoADay prompt for today is "Frame." I decided to take a photo of our brand new windows, with their new frames. The windows are tinted so that they reflect light durning the day, and you can't see inside. At night, we will be closing the blinds. We are using sheets until the new blinds come in. We are replacing the horizontals with verticals so we no longer have to spend our lives dusting.

Anyway, I had to take the photos at an extreme angle to avoid getting a shot that appeared as though it was a mere photo of the house across the street. Both photos are of the window and its frame. That's right, you are looking at a reflection of my car and some trees. I took second photo from another angle to give you a better idea of what you are looking at:

Blank Lines in the Fall: Day 15

My nonsense post for the day was the longest I've written so far at two whole paragraphs. All my others are only one. I tend to do a lot of math in my head, and thinking of shapes and puzzles and logic and such, so perhaps I got a bit in the weeds once the subject of lines entered my head. Some people seem to have gotten a kick out of it, however, judging from the comments. Here it is: "Daily Jabberwocky: Attack of the Killer Parallel Blank Lines!"

The #FMSPhotoADay prompt for today, Day 15 (Sep 15) is "Season." As summer moves into fall, the leaves are just beginning to change from deep green to gold. One of my favorite trees in the corner of the yard already has a few yellow leaves, and others that are not quite as green as they used to be:

Androids Need Sheep and I Need Water: Day 14

My daily nonsense diverges from counting sheep to a very strange place in the back of my mind. I think these things are the result of growing up on a steady stream of Twilight Zone and other sci-fi shows. Heck, the first movie I ever saw in the theater as a kid was Star Wars! My mother was and is a sci-fi addict, and raised me to be one too. She never shut down my wild thoughts, or told me my ideas weren't any good.

So, this is the kind of crazy that comes from a free mind. I encourage others to join me in insanity! Here's another daily dose of the insanity of which I speak: "Daily Jabberwocky: Androids Need Sheep's Wool for Their Freezing Arctic Cousins!"

The #FMSPhotoADay prompt for Day 14 (Sep 14) is "Liquid." Here is a photo of a glass of water, from very close up, with several fancy bracelets sitting behind it:

Lava Suits and Kicking water: Day 13

So my daily nonsense post got a little weird today. I think it was based on the fact that I heard some strange barking a couple of houses down, which always makes me worry a little about my cats. I have to do the rounds and make sure I can see them all resting in their favorite spots in the yard. If I don't see one or more of them, I have just a little spot in my stomach that worries until I see them again.

The other thing was that I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness with my visiting family last night. There's a scene with tons of lava spilling around and what is basically a "lava suit." So those are the two things that brought forth the strange ideas in my "Daily Jabberwocky," which you can view here: "Daily Jabberwocky: The Dogs that Made Me Jump to Madagascar."

The #FMSPhotoADay prompt for Day 13 (Sep 13) is "Unexpected." While visiting, my brother accidentally kicked his own water glass, soaking something I had been working on. Luckily, I have it saved on my computer.

I have an auto-inflating queen-size bed that he sets up in the living room, and it butts up against the coffee table. He then sets his glasses of water and wine right next to the foot of the bed when he goes to sleep (good thing he always finishes the wine before bed). This is the first time he has knocked over his water. I actually felt bad for him because it woke him from deep sleep, and he had to get up to clean it. This, in turn, caused him to sleep in, leaving him little time to get ready to hit the road for home.

Triple-Header: Back from a Break

So, I was off the Internet for a couple of days because I was working on the house. We had all the windows on the front of the house replace with double-paned glass. The old windows were the originals were from 1974, when the house was built. They were horrible! The house already feels cooler with the new windows. It's really lucky they were finished yesterday because today was extremely hot. We would have been miserable had the windows not been replaced.

In that time, I also took off from doing my daily nonsense post. I did do it today, however, so I do have one bit of nonsense for you. It's just not as nonsensical as my usual nonsense posts. Here it is: "Daily Jabberwocky: Back From Bubblews Break with a Fan." It has all the humor of a baked potato, but at least there's a teeny bit of randomness there.

One of my articles also published in the morning two days ago for Yahoo! TV. My weekly Suits article is a recap of one of my favorite shows this week. Man, I love Donna and Harvey and Louis! Those characters are truly unique, and live up to USA Network's motto of "Characters Welcome." Mike does too, but his individuality comes from an interesting talent more than his outward personality. Here is my article: "'Suits' Episode 'Endgame' Recap: Will Stephen Get What He Deserves?"

As for #FMSPhotoADay, I'm going to make up for the two days I missed plus today all in this one post. The day 4 prompt is "Alone," day 5 was "Here Forever" and today (day 6) is "Getting Ready." My descriptions for each photo are in the captions.

"Alone": This is actually an old photo, from about six months ago.
This is Teensy when she was a very small kitten.
I used this photo, because it's the first one I always think of when I think of "alone."
She has always been the least tame, yet always seems to want to be involved.
She constantly sits on the outskirts of any activity I do with the other kitties,
and stares at us longingly. She seems to want to be involved, but she's just too scared.

"Here Forever": This tree has been "here forever,"
or at least since the time we bought the house, in 1984.
I'm not sure when it was actually planted,
but it's old enough for me to think of it as forever.

"Getting Ready": Furball gets ready for the day with a nice
grooming from mama Miss Kitty.
He'll soon be ready for a night out on the town!
