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!"

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.

Smoking Men and Kitty Shadows: Day 12

Bubblews was down for most of the day, so I was a little late getting my "Daily Jabberwocky" nonsense posted. This one was one of my favorites, because of the layout. I don't want to give anything away in case you want to read it, because I'd like it to be a surprise. Just know that it's sort of a From Dusk Till Dawn type of deal in it's structure (not in its content). Here it is: "Daily Jabberwocky: The Cogarette-Smoking Man Under My Shoe."

The #FMSPhotoADay prompt for today is "Shadow." Once again, I decided to incorporate my cute little kitties in the photos. I did do one at the bottom without any kitties though.

Day 11 TV, Nonsense and Photo: 'Suits,' Short Aliens and Cute Kitty

First thing this morning, my Suits recap was published on Yahoo! TV. It was another great episode, leading up to the Season 3 finale next week.If you haven't checked it out, you can catch it on Amazon, and a few other outlets as well. Here it is: "'Suits' Episode Recap: Harvey and Jessica Act in 'Bad Faith'."

Next, I created my morning nonsense post. This time, I had aliens on the brain (as is common for me). In yet another sci-fi bit of nonsense, I write about short, fat aliens from the planet Sparta: "Daily Jabberwocky: The Short Blue Aliens of the Planet Sparta."

The prompt for #FMSPhotoADay Day 11 is "What You Did Today." For 9/11, I wanted to spend the day with loved ones. I'm here with my parents, and my brother is visiting as well. I'm not really into posting photos of my family for privacy, but I also have pets as part of my family. So, to start the morning off right, I cuddled with my kitty loved one (yes, another excuse for cute kitty photos)! Here's Miss Kitty at her cuddling best:

Day 10 Nonsense and Photo: Bubbles and Homemade Ice Cream!

I didn't have anything to write for Yahoo! today, but I did get a tentative OK for writing a series of animated Tweet-caps I proposed to my editor. It's not for sure, because the managing editor has to OK it, and they may also need to get authorization from the network as well. Other than that, it's a go, so I'm excited they liked the idea!

For my daily bit of nonsense, I came up with something that is both odd and meaningful at the same time. There's a hidden meaning about plagiarism using a fart as a metaphor. I didn't want to offend anyone, so I didn't use the actual word. I hope I didn't offend anyone just now! The funny thing is that the fart (sorry) represents what to do right! Here ya go: "Daily Jabberwocky: You May Eat Bubbles, but Not Muggles!"  If you'd like to join the site to write your own posts of 400 characters or more and make a cent on every view, like, comment and share in the process, please use my referral link.

The #FMSPhotoADay prompt for today (Day 10, Sep. 10) is "Sweet." So, I took a picture of my homemade ice cream. I ate the rest of my chocolate, so I took a photo of some vanilla. I put it in the chocolate container, so the brown stuff on the sides is from left-over chocolate. YUM!
