Cats and Colours

I recently noticed something funny. Cats seem to prefer their own colours. For instance, one of them, who is orange, absolutely loves the colour orange. It doesn’t look that great to me, but she insists on lying on a surface that clashes the most with her own colour. Pink (and similar shades) are ok too, as far as she’s concerned. I keep wanting her to lie (read pose) on something white, grey, blue or green. No such luck. Besides, getting her to pose for the camera (read lie still for a few seconds at a time) is more or less impossible.

Another of my cats - grey this time - adores (you guessed it) the colour grey. In this case, I wouldn’t say that grey clashes with grey, but in my book, another colour, like white, red, blue and so on, would look a lot prettier. That is if I ever got her to stay in one place long enough for me to get a few pictures of her.

Oh, well, I’ll have to commit the images to memory and maybe, once in a while, I’ll be able to snap a few shots of them before they take off…

Irresistible seeds

Today I noticed that my cockatiel, Alexander, had pecked a hole in a bag of bird seeds I’d bought for him. He was sitting there, eating seeds, looking pleased with himself. And so he should. He’s such a smart bird. I was so impressed. He wasn’t too happy when I poured the contents of the bag into a glass jar though. Oh, well. He’ll get it all, in time. I only wish I’d been able to take a photo of him. Maybe some other time.

Why your blog should be your book's first draft

In this article, the author suggests that for an unpublished writer, a blog is a good place to post the first draft of a book. The author lists seven reasons why this is a good idea. It was an interesting read and it gave me food for thought, but I’m not sure I agree. Still, it’s certainly something to consider.

What do you think? Is it worth a try? Bad idea? What? Tell me what you think.

The Only Two Writing Tips You'll Ever Need

I just read this article, and found that I quite agreed with the writer. Sure, there are plenty of other tips that might be useful for some people, but those two are so basic, they deserve to be stated. What are they? Read the article and find out. :)

What is a vegan?

To me, who’s been vegan for several years now, veganism is something so natural and self-explanatory, I hardly even think about it. However, I’ve realized that many people simply don’t have a clue what it is. (And many of those who do, really don’t care, but that’s another story.)

So, just in case anyone’s wondering - What is a vegan?

And, here’s the answer. (One definition, at least.)

The nine intelligences

I just read an article about the nine types of intelligence. Just as I’ve always suspected, I belong to the linguistic type, which is all very well in itself. Maybe I’m being unreasonable, but I was kind of hoping I’d have a little of at least one of the others, but it doesn’t look that way, never has. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Linguistic intelligence suits me fine. It was just that I was thinking that maybe - Oh, well. You can’t have everything. I’ve know a number of people who didn’t seem to have even one of those intelligences, so why am I whining about it?

What color are you?

Interesting article about color preferences.

As usual, I’m an outsider. I’d say I’m mainly BlueGreen, with quite a bit of Red (I’m a closet Red LOL) and a touch of Yellow (in the last two or three years). There’s also a little bit of Grey, I’m afraid.

A psychologist will be able to make something of this, I’m sure. Not sure I’d like to know what that is though. :)

What color are you?
