Cargo Cult Cat

During World War II, South Pacific islanders saw that when colonial occupiers built wharves and airstrips, ships and airplanes arrived with cargos of goods. They built their own wharves and airstrips, believing that their own cargos would then arrive.

Yesterday, after I turned the heater off, Harriet sat in front of the heater vent for three hours straight.

There’s a website called Worth 1000 in which participants transmogrify an existing photo to fit a theme like, “If Hippies Ruled the World“.

When Todd pointed me towards this gorgeous David Till photograph, taken in Toronto:

I could hardly believe it wasn’t a Worth 1000 photo. Y’all make fun of me for my idealism when it comes to Canada, but come on, an hour spent in the icy cold stomping out a smiley face to make everyone who sees it feel better? It’s just…it’s adorable!

Even though academically I know that my ongoing dizziness is a result of hypoglycemia, I’ve been obsessed with whether or not I feel dizzy from moment to moment ever since that bath. The fact that I’m able to make myself feel dizzy when I’m feeling extreme panic isn’t helping at all.

I watched too many Lifetime movies in the 90s in which the heroine would say one day, “I feel a little dizzy,” and the next scene was her family tossing roses as her coffin was lowered into her grave. Never watch Lifetime movies, kids. They will come back to haunt you in the wee hours of the morning.

The Sacred Herb

Though, really, are there any particularly GOOD Phil Collins songs?
