Thursday Friday-blogging

Have you ever had the feeling that today is not the day of the week that it actually is? The "I know it's Saturday, but it feels like a Sunday" feeling? Whenever I get this feeling, the reasons for the feeling are usually fairly obvious, such as "Friday was a holiday; therefore, the reason today (Saturday) feels like a Sunday is that it is the second day of my weekend."

Anyway, I've had the off-by-one-day feeling pretty much all week. Tuesday felt like Wednesday. Wednesday felt like Thursday. Today feels like Friday. But the really unusual things about this are:

1) Despite my best attempts to analyze the reasons for this, I have absolutely no idea why I keep feeling this way. There was nothing really unusual about my schedule this week that would tend to prompt this sort of feeling.

2) This feeling has persisted several days in a row and has resisted all attempts to dispell it.

All I know is that the recurring mental double-take of realising that today is not tomorrow is really starting to annoy me.

Wednesday Furry-crustacean-blogging

World, meet Kiwa hirsuta. Story link.

Who's your daddy?

Atrios gets it exactly right.

Friday Otocolobus-blogging

Today we bring you Otocolobus manul, the Pallas' Cat, or, as the Ego and I prefer to call him, the Manul.






(Last two images via some Russian site.)

Civil Disobedience

Via Metafilter, "an extrordinary act of public obedience," a very well-done video of some young folks demonstrating the hypocricy of speed-limit laws by getting together and obeying them. Also of interest is the degree of negative reaction to this on the Metafilter thread.



Update: Apparently I'm just about the only person who's seen this who isn't really, really upset at these kids. Oh, well.

Good thing ogged isn't around to see this.

Or maybe he is. Ogged, on the off chance you come across this, don't click on the link below. And anyone else who would be utterly disgusted or otherwise offended by an extremely explicit movie clip of bare-assed women farting in the faces of other women, I likewise warn you away from clicking on the link, because it really is disgusting and offensive. But it is comedy gold. If nothing else, the internet is surely a testament to the infinite variety of the bizarre things that people get off on.

But enough yakking, already. Here's the link. Very, very much NOT work-safe. (I can't believe I'm posting this. This is a new low for me.)

Via. (Click if you would like to see a still image from the video to see what you're in for.)

Friday catblogging? Why the hell not!

Update: For the brave: the world's ugliest cat(s). (Via Grow-a-Brain.)

Update 2: Remember Cy, the tragically adorable one-eyed kitten who was in the news last month? Well if this drawing of Cy does not bring a tear to your eye, then you have no soul. (My Spanish is not all it could be, but I believe the caption is best translated as "last hope" or, perhaps more poetically, "last wish.")

What? Garfield? Again??

I can't believe I'm posting about Garfield again. But trust me on this. This one is not your usual Garfield comic.

Warning of a different sort.

The image in the next post (or previous post, depending on how you look at it) contains partial nudity and arachnid bestiality. If you would be offended by either or both of those, or are using a computer in a location where the screen is visible by those who would consider such things offensive, then do not scroll down. To move the potentially-offensive post off the top of the page, and to serve as a "unicorn chaser," I give you this image (which I stole from Wonkette):
















OK, then. On to the squickiness.

Eight-Legged Freaks!

Translation of the message on the posters: "Without a condom, you are making love with AIDS. Protect yourself." (As with all pictures on this blog, click on the image for the full-sized version.)

After seeing these images, I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight.

Via.
