Two Kittens Creeping

While I brew up a proper post I thought I'd post some Christmas kitten pictures, because everyone loves kittens, right?

Opie and BeBe destroying the Christmas tree

Opie and BeBe pretending they're not destroying the Christmas tree

Lounging and clearly plotting more mischief
Needless to say the Christmas tree spent most of the season on the floor and we're still finding baubles under the furniture. Presents were also something of a lucky dip as they ate all the labels. I was thrilled to receive my Lynx gift set and limited edition Dinobot. I now smell like an adolescent boy and can turn a plane into a pterodactyl in less than 11 seconds, thanks kittens.

    Cats and Christmas trees...it's an eternal struggle, isn't it? Cats of the world are almost universally driven to destroy holiday trees...and somehow they manage to seem cute and annoying as hell all at once!

    Aww, what mega-cute cats! Thanks for the rather sweet comment of concern of my blogging whereabouts - I have been a bit AWOL from being quite busy and extremely slack. Hope your foot feels better soon, it sounds like a right nightmare, but on the plus side you are probably entitled to the good seats on the bus usually hogged by old ladies and their tartan wheelie-bags...

    Hi, Gill-Man, so fantastic to have you around here. You're so right. It is one of the universal constants that we can always rely on. Damn them for being so cute though, you just can't be angry.

    Jack, you can talk babytalk to my kitties any time.

    Oriel! SO glad you're back!!! Rest assured that I have been using my foot to cast aside the elderly, small children and the pregnant as much as possible. Got to be some perks. Get some more posts up soon.

Rentaghost

The Rentaghost cast When I was young Rentaghost was my absolute favourite show ever Once, when I was about seven, in an attempt to integrate me, my mother suggested I join the Brownies; the idea was met with scorn and derision largely because the Brownies swarmed (I’m assuming that’s what Brownies do) on a Rentaghost night, and they sucked, and dressed like tiny poos, and they sucked. It turned out later that I just wasn’t a naturally inclined participator in group activities. Needless to say I didn’t have a lot of friends as youngster, but then there are also no childhood pictures of me dressed like a chubby, redheaded turd at a jamboree somewhere, so take that, Brownies, who’s big and clever now?! Rentaghost was a British children's television comedy programme broadcast on the BBC between 1976 and 1984 and revolved around a company, 'Rentaghost', which hired out ghosts for a variety of potentially hilarious jobs and purposes. The first series of Rentaghost saw th...

Clive Barker's Coldheart Canyon: A Hollywood Ghost Story

I have issues with Clive Barker. In theory I should love him, the gore factor, the homoeroticism, the 80s, etc., but somehow I find his books inherently forgettable and that annoys me because I really want to love him and he insists on making that so hard for me. I keep being surprised by books of his, they jump out at me from nowhere and I discover I’ve read them and just couldn’t remember a damn thing about them. (Actually the reason CB keeps cropping up in my house at the moment is that my husband has suddenly developed something of a big boy crush on him and his novels keep dropping through my letterbox with alarming regularity and startling me with their familiarity). When I read the blurb about Coldheart Canyon I thought that it was going to be right up my street: A Hollywood Ghost Story, it promised me, I love old Hollywood, I love ghost stories, this has to be the Clive Barker book for me! Also, one irate Amazon reviewer described it as: ‘far from what I would call horro...

Horrific Beards I Have Known and Loved

Kurt Russell R.J. MacReady The Thing (1982)   I’m fairly certain that it’s widely agreed upon and that I can speak on behalf of everyone everywhere when I say that The Thing is awesome. I’m also confident that few people will disagree when I say that Kurt Russell in The Thing is awesome. But, despite the inarguable awesomeness of Mr. Russell, there is still one who monumentally and heroically overshadows even him, one who is the true star of The Thing, and that star is, of course, Kurt Russell’s beard! As helicopter pilot R.J. MacReady, Kurt Russell, or more specifically Kurt Russell’s beard, is stationed at U.S. Outpost 31 in the Antarctic when all manner of alien skulduggery kicks off and it seems apparent to me that it was the beard who was running this show. Although part of a twelve man crew, MacReady is something of the brooding loner and prefers to spend his time alone in his cabin playing computer chess and cultivating an alcohol problem. Despite this, and a genera...
