Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A surprisingly thoughtful piece from Russell Brand

Is he still surprising?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Scale: tiger, lion, cougar, jaguar, leopard, cheetah, all those littlies like ocelots and caraculs? Is that how it goes?

Almost; jaguars are larger than cougars. I would also be inclined to find room for snow leopards and possibly clouded leopards.

Wait, there are feral bison in San Francisco??? What??? I knew there were parrots.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wow, jaguars are bigger than I thought. And how could I forget snow leopards--they're my favorite!--and clouded leopards. Lynxes are smaller, right? In the littlies category with bobtails and such?

Lynxes are indeed smaller (the bobcat is itself a species of lynx), though the Eurasian lynx is larger than the clouded leopard. There's a list of cat species by size here: [link]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Hiya, cliomusing!

What a beautiful cat. The largest wildlife I see regularly are deer. Although as I often see them in my apartment's parking lot, I don't know that they exactly put the wild into wildlife. There are rumors of coyotes in the area, but I've never seen one.

NC is in full bloom, with the red bud and dogwoods all in flower. It's a lovely time of year here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Man, I was just feeding the birds and that thistle seed smelled really appetizing. What is that about?

"Come on, put your back into it. A Watcher scoffs at gravity."

Morning, everybody, and thanks for all the greetings!

The gif of the squirrel going all ninja appeared on the stuffed animal appeared on my tumblr this morning. Took a walk around the Quad, but the memory of that gif had me looking very shifty eyed at one little grey bastard who wouldn't back down from his perch on a tree.
