Meow: It’s the inaugural Kitten Bowl

Marc Lemoine / Crown Media and Monique Toro / Crown Media

A sportsball event I can get behind.

I watched this and it was so good.

Still a better game than the Super Bowl.

ENGOLDENED

I learnt a new word and I love the sound of it: kintsukuroi. It is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with seams of gold. Kintsugi repairs the brokenness in a way that makes the container even more beautiful than it was prior to being broken.  Not a very common idea in western culture!

Instead of diminishing the bowl’s appeal and appreciation, the “break” offers the container  a new sense of its vitality and resilience. The bowl has become more beautiful for having been broken. One can say that the true life of the bowl began the moment it was dropped!

Imagine you are that clay pot: celebrate your flaws and imperfections. Remember that you being you is what makes you uniquely beautiful.  

And remember: “The world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.” Ernest Hemingway

An interesting essay on the art of kintsukuroi can be found in Flickwerk, The Aesthetics of Mended Japanese Ceramics.

I’m pretty sure that I’ve reblogged this before, but its actually one of my favorite posts on tumblr. The idea that something can be more beautiful after being broken is so moving to me. I kind of want one of these someday, or to make my own. It’s an amazing concept, and I love the fact that it’s an artform.

Takes the old phrase about silver linings to a new level.

21 Images That Prove Cats Are Liquids

To say nothing of my own cat.

This cat is the pinnacle of evolution.

i remember this struggle like it was yesterday

these kids now a days don’t understand

Preach!

And then and then and THEN you gotta understand that these motherfuckers were designed to be played sitting on a level surface, and if you even thought about getting too energetic, you’d get nothing but a scratching sound, a couple seconds of silence, and the sinking feeling in your stomach that somehow you’d fucked up.

I remember the first time they introduced the “anti-skip” function, which just meant that the Discman had a tiny tiny cache and would read ahead 5 seconds, so if it skipped, it had time to recover and play uninterrupted… unless of course you jumped around for more than 5 seconds…

In 1999 I had an mp3 player that held. Wait for it…

…

10 songs.

And yet it was so deeply superior to a discman that I was willing to pay $200 for it.

Well I didn’t see that coming

the cat WOULD be the one to take action.

I really like how the cat attacks the source of the problem.

You stab that motherfucker and you do it well.
