Christmas Tree Lighting in Tompkins Square Park NYC

This little EV Tree is the one our cat Cassa "grew up" with, he would play by it when it was a wee sapling and he a beeg baby, now they are certainly much bigger. :)

Kickstarter, RooftopFilms and Park Slope Brooklyn last night

A great event took place last night on a rooftop overlooking Brooklyn, put on by my Lower East Side neighbors Kickstarter (very cool funding group for amazing projects! check them out!) and RooftopFilms.. nice for the combined reason it let me watch great film and eat Cowgirl vegan cupcakes! (These were so good btw!! Their Kickstarter campaign is still underway so check it out :))

I watched great artist's work on an amazing rooftop of an old factory,

and wandered my old neighborhood earlier in the eve!

I had not been back to in ages and it has greatly changed, but that's the way it goes. A great time was had by all :)
More pix on Twitpic and Flickr!

It's American Chocolate Week!

Not that it will change the habits of choco-holix but just take a moment while popping bonbons by the handful to appreciate its dramatic and delish history.

Be warned tho.. Chocolate Week does not give you permission to go wild!

The Butterfly Circus, Hope and Beauty in All Forms

A beautiful film, thank you to my friends on Facebook for posting this.

Beautiful lesson to remember when we are trying to kill each other. We all live on this one little rock. We are all one thread- none of you folks came from another planet. We ARE all related.

Hardcore Rooster!

Be glad this guy doesn't live next door :)

The supportive clucking his lady friends gave him went to his head so he went and wrote a song using the same line... ;)

He wants his Grammy now! :)

Brittany Murphy, RIP

"Manger Babies"

This was always my favorite episode of hers on "King of the Hill". She made this sweet funny character come to life.

Guy Laliberté Goes to Space, The ISS is now B612 :)

That is how I will think of it while Guy is up there :)





He took the book The Little Prince with him to show he has fulfilled a childhood dream.

Watch the Launch footage here:


The Lion you see was given to him by his daughters so he would have a little bit of home plus it was there to signify when they reached zero gravity.

There was another reason why he went.. Tune in on October 9th:

Nora the Musical Cat Takes Center Stage

Some may enjoy the pop stylings of Keyboard Cat, but others might have a slightly more classical taste in music. I give you Nora, already a star, but now her talents have been taken to new musical heights.


The BBC reports that Lithuanian conductor Mindaugas Piecaitis has composed a four-minute "CATcerto" for the Klaipeda chamber orchestra starring, The Piano Playing Cat Nora. Click here for the full report and video. Read Nora's blog here and keep up to date on all her activities!

Tune in to this YouTube channel soon for the whole performance!

Her music has a lilting rainy day feel, sure to get a purrrr from any creature human or furry.
