Very ... VERY Happy Kitty

Here's a weird question. Is there anyone out there who's had kids, and had a cat while they were pregnant?

Was your cat more affectionate while you were expecting? Like, a lot more friendly?




This is Chloe. And boy, is she lovin' Mrs. Bluesky right now. (The Mrs. is shown wearing a grey sweater, which Chloe has happily sunk her claws into.)

She's always been an affectionate cat, but boy, she's just turned into a little cuddle machine in the last couple of weeks. Maybe it's pheromones. Hope it translates into warm feelings for little O when he arrives.

Mind Playing Tricks on Me

Okay.  I was listening to the new Call and Response album.  And the song "Trapped Under Ice" was freakin' me out. 

Why?  Because I was hearing echoes of another song.  The vocal melody of "Trapped Under Ice" mimics the keyboard riff in a Nortec Collective song, "Norteño de Janeiro."  Go ahead.  Check it out ... I'll wait.

See?  It's the same melody!

Um ... it's kinda inverted, and a couple of notes are different ... and I guess the key's different...

but it's the same melody!

I'm not crazy.  You're the one who's crazy.  Someone go get me a Pepsi.
