Today’s earworm:
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.
(
You’re Beautiful, by James Blunt)
This earworm brought to you by Oprah, who had him on her show the other day, and I canNOT get the damn song out of my brain. Luckily, I kind of like it.
(And the story behind the song: James Blunt saw his ex-girlfriend on the train with her new boyfriend, and their eyes met, and they (I quote) “Lived a lifetime in that moment”, and that’s what he wrote the song about. How come no one ever writes a song about ME?)
(Shaddup, Fred)

I’ve got nothing for today. How about some cat pics? We took ’em out and let ’em chase bubbles again yesterday.
Mister Boogers has a thought.
Sugarbutt waits for The Daddy to blow some bubbles. I swear, that cat has the longest tail EVER.
Madame Sugar sees good things for you in your future. That’ll be ten dollars, please.
“Hellew, kisskiss, how’s your Momma and them?”
All of today’s uploaded pictures – I took a TON of bubble-chasing pictures – are
here.
