    This is the true story of Isaac Newton questioning the universe--who would think anything of an apple falling from a tree?

    I built a magical fort out of fruitcake! But then ants invaded it and claimed it. I don't know where they got such a tiny flag... This made me sad. :( So then I set it on fire and it smelled like syrup and burnt hair. ;-; And all the ants ran toward me as they were on fire...but none of them made it before they burned up. Win? :l

    Does one tend a Cat-Apple Tree by watering it, I wonder... or by leaving out some handy dishes of milk? =^.^= Super Duper Cute, as always Li!

    I squished my face against a glass window and hugged my family like a band-aid. And ate muffins. And got a really soft sweater. And ate muffins again. And pulled my cat out of the Christmas tree over and over. And ate more muffins.

    Well... I re-read a large chunk of your archive. And got a job selling clothes that other retailers couldn't sell. And wrote a very strange thing, mostly by accident.

    I am glad that you are back! I missed my weekly dose of cuteness. How was your break? =)

    I just remembered there was a Far Side cartoon like this; a couple of dog farmers (that is, farmers who are dogs, wearing farmer hats) chitchatting about how the tree-grown kitties are "Comin' along reeeeeal good...'Course you can always lose a few to an early frost or young pups."

    I've built an awesome hydrogen-peroxide powered rocket :-)
    Yesterday i fired it in one corridor of my school, and then i had to clear it all the way, beacuse gas from the rocket exhaust colored everything in yellow. Also, it exploded at the end :D (Don't worry, no one was around) :-)

    Millions of kittens, kittens for me? Aww you shouldn't have. Really. I can't feed millions of kittens. My own kitty is more than a handful. She's actually about two and a half maybe three handfuls, when she isn't squirming.

    I haven't been doing much notable. Relaxing. Although now I have to be productive again. Weee!

    I wanted to say that your art always has such a warm feel to it.

    We just found out today that our loved little one, Missie ( a beautiful Balinese), just passed away back home.

    I know you probably don't take requests but I might make a suggest, one of your warm comforting drawing's might make a wonderful dedication to the love we all feel for our pets.

    Sincerely,
    some people who love their animals and your work.

    Ivan snapped the pod from the end of its branch. The kitten emitted a squall, convulsed, and went still.

    “Kitty, kitty…?” Ivan whispered doubtfully into his cupped hand. An alarming trickle of red fluid coursed from the broken stem across his wrist.

    Miles pulled back the pod-leaves around the kitten’s … corpse, he feared. There was no back half to the beast. Pink naked legs fused together and disappeared into the stem part of the pod.

    “…I don’t think it was ripe, Ivan.”
