cats vs dogs

sooo my friend sent me this link. it shook me to my very core, so I thought I'd share my response:

1. a) my cat rolls over, sits, lies down, and comes on command. b) they are too smart to waste time on party tricks, they have more important kitty chores to attend to.

2. I have seen dogs run into screen doors 239827349 times, eat its own poop, and trip on it's own feet. Ever seen a dog stealthily hunt a bird and catch it? no, they run at it screaming. morons.

3. so does a gun and they don't have brains.. nor do you have to pick up it's poop in public.

4. a) I have walked my cat. b) want a more active lifestyle? get up. buy a bike. wow. no vet bills or drool. sweet.

5. LOOK HOW CUTE THAT THING IS I WANT IT ALL OVER MY LAPTOP WHATEVER. if a dog sat on your laptop it would be destroyed, they are savage morons. anyways, this is how a cat tries to get your attention; by subtly getting in the way of whatever you're staring at. not pouncing at your face and drooling on your favorite shirt or emitting an ear splitting whimper.

6. THIS PERSON IS RETARDED. CATS ARE WAY MORE FUN TO PLAY WITH. Supplies: cat nip, piece of garbage, something on a string, laser pointer. get ready for seven hours of backflips, chit chat, and wall climbing. No supplies? no worries! your twinkling hand is the perfect cat toy! Worried about claws? easily clipped, or since my cat loves me the mostest she knows not to use her claws when playing. what a treat!

7. OH. MY. GOD. if I have a sore stomach november knows to snuggle it and purr it all better. If I'm sick she doesn't leave my side. In fact, she tries to save me from the shower every morning.

8. cat's do the same thing. so does a fire detector. cool.

9. this is kind of the same argument as seven. regardless, they are happy. cats form bonds with their owners too, especially women.

10. if you make noises at any animal it will react to it, stupid.

fuck dog people.

cats are cleaner, quieter (a barking dog is the most infuriating noise), and easier to care for (6am walks in the rain and snow? no thanks). forming a bond wit ha cat is special, they have so much personality. It's not easy to win the love of a cat (usually).. Dog people are like desperate 17 year old boys who want and take any loving they can get.

I miss printmakingggg

Might want to watch this little ditty on fullscreen so you can fully appreciate the type application. I might take a bookbinding course later in the summer to get back into the swing of things before thesis next year (ahhh!). Can't wait to get it going!

fuck you. pay me.

To all my fellow graduates (congrats) and soon-to-be freelancers, this is a funny and informative talk by Mike Monteiro (from mule design studio) at the San Francisco creative mornings talk. watch. laugh. learn. I know it's a little old, but I just got around to watching it now (whatever guys), enjoy!

Parquet Problems Solved

Genius. I thought there was really truly no saving parquet floors. Renters worst nightmare. What a great solution! Totally worth risking eviction (does it make me crazy that I'm serious?). Find out more here, though I recommend maybe skipping the tragic dialogue.

want. to. shop.

so what, you're like really fashionable and have a really cute cat/ dream apartment? that's fine guys. I'm not even jealous. nope.

Well, I know you guys are models and kind of live a dream life, but let's be freinds, k? I have a really great personality and have extensive knowledge of cat mannerisms. Sound good? excellent.

give me your glasses. now. ...please?

uhm, let's go for tea? I'll listen to all of your stories as many times as you want to tell them. promise.

velvet?? yellow ochre?? I'm sorry, are you a unicorn?

She's on a step trying to be tall. I feel you girl, it's alright. what we lack in height we can make up in towering personality, no worries. Hence you bagging a foxy gentleman. Well played.

well. I looked all winter and found no fur skirt. And now it's nice out. god. damnit. you look adorable. i hate you. (jk calm down)

you are a designer aren't you? aren't you!

I shouldn't be allowed access to the internet. Went off on an adventure of perusing some of my favorite fashion blogs and now all I want to do is thrift. Except I have a full day of sitting in my office ahead of me with my inner shopaholic shrieking at me. damn.
