autumn in my life


My cat, who narrowly escaped death last week (UTI + hyperglycemia = bad news bears), sleeping on the Cat Lovers Against the Bomb calendar from Nebraskans for Peace.  The little shaved part on her arm is where they draw blood for her glucose checks. 
 

"The Pool of Tears," from John Coulthart's Psychedelic Wonderland calendar.

Glad your cat is still with you! One of our guinea pigs died the other day. We have to quickly find a new friend for our remaining guinea pigs, since they do better with a companion.

The psychedelic calendar is something else--I liked the <a href="http://www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/pw12.jpg>Alice's Evidence</a> page. (You get psychedelic Julia-set fractal to go with the psychedelic theme.)

Aw, RIP guinea pig. How many do you have now?

Whoa, you actually know fractal terminology!

[identity profile] asakiyume.livejournal.com 2009-11-01 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Only one right now--we only ever had two. We've been thinking of getting two more this time, for a total of three, so that when one dies the other isn't left completely bereft.

... and my fractal terminology extends to "Julia set" and "Mandelbrot set"--and that's about it. I love the Jonathan Coulton song "Mandelbrot set," though--do you know it?

Oh, I see. Yeah, that might be a good idea, getting two. Are they fragile, guinea pigs?

No, I didn't even know he had songs! Haha.

Oh good lord, I thought you said Jonathan Coulthart (the artist). I am clearly not thinking clearly today.

I was like, How can she have heard of Jonathan Coulton and not know he has songs? Now I have go find out who Jonathan Coulthart is...

Mandelbrot Set

Jonathan Coulthart's the guy that did the psychedelic Wonderland calendar!

Thank you for the songs, I shall try them out.

Well, I feel like an idiot! That's what I get for not reading carefully!

(and what are the chances that we'd somehow coalesce on two artists with such similar names?)

[identity profile] intertribal.livejournal.com 2009-11-02 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! And then make reading comprehension mistakes regarding those names!

What I meant by that, of course, was that I do not know fractal terminology and am amazed anyone does... d'oh.

LOL, no worries! As you can see, I don't either, not really :-P
