Going out to the bar for your birthday is one option...

But clearly, there is also the option of bringing the bar with you as this deer has figured out.

Winter of the Pallas Cat

Winter is upon us! Like the mighty Pallas Cat, we angrily venture out only for food.



If you are not familiar with these cats, it's because they're mostly found in Asia. They are angry and awesome. Our Russian friends are lightyears ahead of us on this subject, though they call them Manul cats, and have a fairly active blog community dedicated to their awesomeness.

Potter Park Zoo actually has their own Pallas Cat named Cartman (or "Angry Kitty" as the kids seem to call him), and he is by far the best exhibit available. PPZ is free in the winter, so everyone should go say hi and tell him we sent you.

Doggter SATAN

Does he look a little bit angry or is it just those huge, red eyes? Sorry there aren't any cheesy poofs in there - please don't kill me!

Partied a little too hard...

And this is the aftermath:

Cheers!

Don't get too wild!

Who Stole the Cookies in the Cookie Jar?

Me: Who me? Couldn't be!
Them: Then who??
Me: That cat...

Either that or that's the most life-like cat cookie that I've ever seen in my life.

Now that this year's shopping hell is over...

Hope you were able to enjoy all of the lovely things that you may have bought over the past couple weeks... And the little things that came with those gifts.
