Ramblings of a Murine Soul

[thamiris]

The longer I stray from LJ, the more tempted I am upon returning to write that This Is What I Really Think post. You know, the one where I finally say, “If I see Mediocre Story X rec’ced one more time I’m going to gouge out my own eyes and use ‘em as marbles,” and, in the great tradition of Flannery O’Connor, “X might’ve been a good woman if there

>in the great tradition of Flannery O’Connor, “X might’ve been a good woman if there’d been someone there to shoot her every minute of her life.”

yessssss. oh, she's my patron saint, for sure. if only i could write like her. i've tried.

a thousand thanks for the kliban graphic. how i loved those cartoons way-back-when! my cat is a heck of a fine meatloaf.

Heh. Flannery O'C. has a smashing way with a phrase, and her Misfit's final lines in "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" never fails to pop into my brain when I'm contemplating poop-headedness.

Kliban...Ah. "Love to eat them mousies" are words to live by.

1. thank you for the work 'murine'
2. if you lived there you would spend all your money on heating
3. always enjoy your posts

[thamiris]

Hee! Babe, if I lived in a castle like that I'd have tons of cash to drop on heating--since this is my fantasy, after all. Tons of cash and heaps of pretty boys...What a life that would be. And thanks! *mwah*

I love "your" castle. It's gorgeous; I can completely understand why you'd want to live there.

Not that anyone gives murine ass

::adores:: I just might have to steal that phrase at some point, if you don't mind.

::joins you in fangirling the English language::

Hee! Isn't language great? And I love that you understand, word-lover that you are, the thrill of a new discovery, even if it's only a murine little word. *g*

As for the castle? Man, that would be fabulous! Just me and the hot manservants... *wanders off into triple-X-rated reverie*

Hey, sweets! Your posts are always a treat. Love the castle pic and don't we all deserve a harem for just the reasons you suggest?

Had to write because I've been a Kliban fan for ages. I've had Kliban posters, a Kliban beach towel and even a Kliban ornament for my Christmas tree. This year's datebook/calendar is a Kliban one. Is Kliban making a comeback?

This week's drawing shows two Kliban kitties making their way through a pool of spring flowers. The flowers are so deep you can see only head and tail for one and tail only for the other. I love it. My Pansy cat looks just like a Kliban cat. She's always had the white face and striped legs and tail; now that she's a bit older, she also has the Kliban kitty belly. Major cuteness!

Hiya, hon! I was reading your journal today doing some catch-up, and I see that you're going on a trip--awesome!

I don't think that Kliban's making a comeback as far as I know; I just find myself periodically singing, "Love to eat them mousies..." (Because, yes, I've given it a tune. Heh.)

Your cat sounds adorable! Mine look more like a starved psycho and a chubby boxer, respectively. *g*

It is so good to see you posting again!

Murine. You know somebody's going to name their electro-indie-pop band that now.

[thamiris]

Thanks, chica! I say this every time, but it's always so good to be back! Yay!

As for the band name--it's just waiting to happen, isn't it? Hee!
