Battleship

I think that, for birds, the process of eating is simply a means of acquiring ammunition for a life that is ultimately, one giant game of battleship.

It hits the grass: miss.

It hits the sidewalk: hit.

It hits the center of the windshield: hit and sink.

Self-esteem boost

See how cool Mike, William and some other dude look?

I really think that anybody looking to lift their spirits should invest in road biking gear.

I can’t promise that you’ll be a good biker … in fact, you’ll likely be terrible your first few times out.

Yeah, we look pretty cool ...

But the hip-hugging spandex shorts; the sick jersey with special pockets; the shoes that go clip-clop, clip-clop; the sunglasses that make you resemble Neo from The Matrix …

Sleek and slender ... she's gorgeous. Thanks to mikesoltys.com for the pic.

And then there’s the bike: shiny paint, sleek geometry, streamlined construction … awesome.

It doesn’t matter how many rolls are visible through the too-tight apparel or if you actually bought your sunglasses on sale at Walmart … trust me. You’ll look cool.

Stupid cat

Kind of like this ... only not nearly that cool. Great pic, kirun on flickr.

Good news. It appears that my roommate’s cat actually does serve a purpose.

Despite the fact that it was laying in the exact same position on the couch both when I left this morning at 8:45 and when I returned at 3 p.m., it is now running around the house lunging and diving for a fly that is buzzing at least four feet higher than her maximum jumping capability.

Needless to say that purpose isn’t killing bugs. It’s just my personal amusement.
