Regent’s Canal Boats



Canal Boats, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak.

I was on walkabout in central London yesterday and stumbled across a curious site in what is one of the more upscale portions of the city. Regent’s canal used to be a primary way of shuttling goods across town. Now it serves as what looks like a floating bunch of houseboats. All of them are built to be able to navigate through some of the tunnels, and judging by the amount of junk and home cooking going on, it really looks like a floating trailer park.

Attentive Child

It is really hard to get kids to pay attention nowadays. Now, with the help of hipster attentive glasses your preschooler can also have a hawkish attention span. Its a little creepy, but the lad can concentrate.

Basement Window Pit of Doom



Basement Window Pit of Doom, originally uploaded by BelchSpeak.

I lost the good cat last week. I have a good cat and a bad cat. One gets petted. The other one barfs on my carpet and is denied any affection at all from me. If I had lost the bad cat I wouldn’t bother looking out of my basement window under my deck for the little furry bitch, but I really like the good cat, so I found myself on a stepstool with my head out the underdeck window in the window well calling for my cat at 2 AM.

I saw a femur bone and was surprised, but was sorta spooked when I saw this small skull sitting atop the rocks in the galvanized steel window well under my deck. The window well is about 3 feet deep and I have seen raccoons climb in and back out of it. Anyone know what kind of critter would have a skull like this? Its about six inches or more in length.

Oh, and the good cat came back. She’s just fine. And the bad cat still hasn’t run away yet, dammit. Which reminds me I should buy stock in the makers of Resolve carpet cleaner.

Overlook Hotel Kid’s Placemat – The Shining

I see tons of children’s placemats nowadays. My wife groans as she watches our kid draw outside of the lines or try to jab his cheap restaurant crayons through the paper placemat. But what would the kid’s placemat look like in the Overlook Hotel’s main dining room? It would have to be something like this.
