Pictures from the (Virtual) Earth: the Landmarks of Second Life

THE FLATLAND CHRONICLES.  Yes, we put up not one, but two lists of great photographs, though these photographs are from a world rather different from this one.  I stumbled on some dazzling pictures from Second Life and decided that this should be my theme for today. See them here!

New York City Landmarks!

Pictures from the Earth: "Closed for Winter" (My Thursday 13)

THE FLATLAND CHRONICLES. Nicholas suggested the theme on a cold, grey winter day---they do happen in Florida--- a couple of weeks ago, but it took me quite awhile to put it together.  The photographs, reflecting a number of contexts, include some brilliantly colored vignettes as well as some somber, elegant black and white submissions.  To see it, click here.

13 Videos of Adorable Animals Behaving Oddly

Yep, the way you start over is by just starting over. 

And what better way to start than with a Thursday 13?  I was inspired to return to life-blogging by the various You Tube videos I've found around the internet.  And I know a great deal more about blogging generally than I did when I started BN-Politics back in May.

Cats on Tuesday. Cats on Tuesday. Flat Cat Presents: More of Stupid Lydia's So-Called Portfolio

I got punished for fighting with Lydia because she called me "Blobby Tail"  and my punishment was posting her fugly pictures in MY blog.  The lady says I can't post anything in my blog till tomorrow, which is UNFAIR!  Then Lydia posted a picture of my tail and they didn't even punish her! 

I am going to run away from home if they don't look out!

Love Flat Cat xxx   

P.S.  If you want to see stupid Lydia's lame blog you can go here (the lady said I had to say this).

Cats on Tuesday for 1 May 2007. The Catland Chronicles: Flat Cat Presents "Stupid Lydia's Lame So-Called Portfolio" and Complains Some More.

No, Flat Cat still doesn't have his own blog, I'm afraid.  And as an additional indignity, he was forced to share his Tuesday spot he has with Lydia, his high maintenance cat "sibling" (though neither would agree with the description, I'm afraid).  She and Nick did a photography shoot and she is hoping to become famous by presenting her portfolio of Extreme Catfulness on the internet.
