A black and white cat in a surgical collar stands on its hind legs. An electrical cord runs behind them, ending in an outlet on the wall.

I just attended a live performance of The Met's "La Bohème," my 1st opera, from the comfort of my local Cinemark theatre. I enjoyed *watching* an opera more than just listening to one. I'm seeing Austin Opera's production in May, and I'm considering attending a Met performance in person next season.

My uncle was a deacon in the United Church of Christ. I'm an atheist. He said that, in his church, I would be considered a Christian because I believed, not in the divinity of Jesus Christ, but in his teachings.

Yet another low-sun Hopper painting. Not complaining--it's just interesting that he does this so much.

Wow, I had to zoom in to see that it was a painting and not a photo.

Oh, man, I like everything about this photo. So soft.

It sold for just Β£1200. I would have bought it.

It's missing just the empty roll, no tp. That should be labeled, "Right to jail!"

Well, "butt naked" could mean that one was sufficiently unclothed as to expose ones buttocks. ngl I though it was "butt naked."

"Dekoda’s sensors see down into your toilet and nowhere else." Down? I want one that looks up so that I can make sure I'm clean.

What's with all the low-sun paintings? A low sun indicates a transition--day to night or night to day. Maybe the transition instills an uneasiness because it presages something unpredictable. And maybe I overthink things.

Do I smell a whiff of pre-pre-protocubism in the air?

How beautiful. I didn't know she was an accomplished pianist.

An orange tabby looking at the camera, laying on the seat of a green-and-white-woven lawn chair with green plastic arms and aluminum frame. The chair is sitting in a grey-walled room on a pine floor. Corners of windows can be seen on the walls.

I recently bought this lawn chair because it's beautiful and iconic. It's only temporarily here in my office; I don't dare sit in it because the aluminum frame would scratch up the soft pine floor in a heartbeat. OTOH, Emma can do whatever she wants.

Great head-bopping tune. Nice Minimoog bass line.

Oh, I love a good microhistory. My favorite is "Montaillou, the Promised Land of Error" by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie.

It feels like I've been there. Notice that the viewer is on the grass, not driving/riding in a car on the road. Makes it a little scarier.

I don't know if your blur was intentional, but this is my mistake.

There is an orange, round fruit in the middle of the photo, attached to a small twig running vertically on the right. There is a green leaf above the fruit and another to the left. The background is blurry brown grass.

There is an ochre-colored three-tiered fountain in the middle of the photo. An irregular-stone walkway surrounds it in a circle. There is lush greenery behind it, including palm trees. You can see parts of a grand house among the trees. There is a salmon-topped kiosk or small pagoda to the left of the fountain. There is a blue sky in the upper left.
