This blog officially is no longer about bad metaphors…

…it will now be rechristened “Cats & Knitting”:

Quark, looking away from the camera, trying to evade the humiliating fate of being posted on the Internet yet AGAIN, clothed.

Seriously, I have other things going on in my life, but nothing more interesting than the intersection of yarn and furbags. I originally undertook this as an entry to Crazy Aunt Purl’s Cat Sweater Sweepstakes, and actually finished the knitting part in time, but due to laziness and apathy, did not get the thing stitched up, buttoned, and photographed on the cat until well after the deadline. C’est la vie.

In other news, I’m trying the National Novel Writing dealie again. Hopefully this time I’ll be sufficiently entertained enough by my own plot to actually stick with it this year! If you’re curious, bored, and have absolutely nothing better to do (really, sure you’d rather not finish folding your laundry?), feel free to check out my novella, tentatively titled Beyond the Earth and Sea.

Quark meets Otto von Otter

“Why hello there good sir, and good evening!”

“Oh, how do you do.”

“Could you point me in the direction of the nearest ocean?”

“You are far from it my friend, you are in a landlocked state”

“Good heavens, I have quite lost my way! Whatever is a fellow to do?”

“Well…you could go that way,”

“…or maybe walk that way,”

“and eventually get to some sort of water.”

“Oh dear, that is a lot of walking indeed! You wouldn’t happen to be heading in that direction, would you my good fellow?”

“Well…”

“…maybe…”

“I’ll have to sleep on it.”
