Not much of a holiday

[cornerofmadness]

Hard to be excited for president's day just generally but I'm off and I wanted to go do something but the rain the whole weekend was worse than I thought. The side walk is covered with creek sand and the entire parking lot is covered in creek debris because it flooded. My car is frozen a) shut b) to the ground. Luckily even though it's cold (only in the 20s) it's bright and sunny.

I had already given up my hiking plans by friday because of the rain. I like hiking in the cold but not when I'm knee deep in mud and now half iced over mud. I was going to go to Point Pleasant and shop around the Mothman but my back hurt this morning so instead I go to Jackson to the coffee shop and get a few things at Krogers I forgot and did the recycling so ho hum there.

Still putting off my research project. I am unhappy with myself and there's no one to blame but me.

I am, however, getting writing done and while my last two Hazbin posts didn't get that many kudos yet both did get comments that made me very happy and want to write more in both series. I also need to get off my butt and submit the stories I want to submit.

My parents are now deep into the covid symptoms. Sigh. Good thoughts are appreciated.


Continuing the animal theme for Music Monday, here's some for the cat (I'm saving tigers for another day). Come share if you dare.

One of the first ones to mind

O primeiro vídeo é bloqueado no Brasil (só uma nota de informação)

[cornerofmadness]

Yeah country copyright issues is always weird. It's Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats from that late 80s early 90s swing revival era

[barbaratp]

Eu odeio bastante essas restrições de país uma grandíssima bobagem na minha opinião. Música deveria ser universal não é mesmo? Joguei o nome no buscador de pesquisas e esse vídeo oficial da banda calhou de estar disponível para ver. O que me deixou muito intrigada com o Youtube agora viu

[cornerofmadness]

Oh I agree especially since much of it is NOT something the country in question censors. A few months ago half of Bon Jovi's stuff was blocked here and I'm like they're an American group...

[barbaratp]

Não sei como era o vídeo que você adicionou mas sei que já algumas gravadoras que tem labels específicos para determinadas regiões, com versões e cantores específicos e eles barram outros países por motivo de dinheiro. Ok que os artistas tem direito a receber seus royalties mas isso não dá poder aos estúdios de barrar algumas partes do mundo de acessar aquele conteúdo. Assim eles tão é perdendo visualizações que rende dinheiro.

[cornerofmadness]

Yes that's true. You'd think they'd consider this when making contracts that would include world rights like they do in publishing. That said this is an old song that's pre internet so that's probably why

Cat House - Takako Minekawa?

Cat People (Putting Out Fire) - David Bowie

Cats - Franz Ferdinand? (off their newest album!)

Cat Blues - again, Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts out of Cowboy Bebop!

[cornerofmadness]

Cat house was so weird.

I did however like the Franz Ferdinand one

[suzume]

Ha ha, yeah, I know. It's wacky.

I'm happy you liked the Franz Ferdinand one though! :D

[cornerofmadness]

yes that one was good

I didn't pay much mind to presidents day! Just focused on reading and staying in for the most part. I also filled some of my bird feeders.
I'm sending good thoughts and vibes for your parents. <3 <3 <3

[cornerofmadness]

thank you and it sounds like a good day for you

[a_natural_beauty]

Thank you :)

Sending all the good thoughts and prayers to your parents.

As far as cat music I've always liked
