Beautiful Cats and Singers

I was talking to my cat Finney yesterday, it was the usual babble: “Who’s the most beautiful cat in the whole wide world, who is the cutest, who is? Who’s a beautiful boy??”

AND, Siri was somehow activated on my phone, I don’t know how, I never use Siri and I’m not entirely sure how to activate her. Anyway, she was on and she attempted to answer the burning question: “Who is the most beautiful cat in the whole wide world?”

I wish I had saved her answer but she was basically telling me it’s okay to be gay. Something about it being beautiful and okay in her realm. It was quite sweet. So Finney, if you’re gay, it’s cool with Siri and me and the realm. Also, you’re the most beautiful cat in the whole wide world, tied with Bleeck.

Speaking of beautiful, the baritone who is going to be singing Elijah for our Spring concert, Philip Cutlip! Actually, come to think of it, we always have such hot men singing this part. Hmmmm. But this guy, not only does he have an insanely amazing voice, but he can act. For the first time I truly felt the horror of this one part we sing about (murdering a bunch of prophets). Come hear and see the beauty and horror!

Watching the Eaglets

Well, it’s an eaglet and an egg at this point. I can’t look away from this Bald Eagle web cam. The eagles (in Washington, D.C.) have been working on hatching two eggs, and so far one has hatched the most adorable eaglet on the planet.

Here are a bunch of screenshots I took this morning. Just try and resist this little guy.

Oh God. I want heem. Although I know he will be a bit of a killer and would make me cry.

At the Morbid Academy

Me and Mitch Horowitz at the Morbid Academy! Dear God I’m tiny. I knew I wasn’t exactly big, except maybe Mitch is also very TALL. I had a fantastic time of course. Thank you so much for inviting me Mitch, it was such a wonderful opportunity, and thank you to the Morbid Anatomy Museum for being the nicest, nicest host. (Everyone, if you haven’t visited this place, you really must go. Just go to the link, you’ll see why.)

And it was great see the fabulous and talented Shannon Taggert in the audience, and Sharon Lee Harkey (who brought a book for me!) and Lucinda W., who has been visiting this blog and who I met for the first time! That was very cool. Thank you all! It was such a nice break after this long Echo nightmare (which is still going on, but I am going to try to take a day off from it today if I can).
