Bob Dylan Awarded Nobel Prize!

The Swedish Academy today announced that the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2016 has been awarded to - none other than - Bob Dylan for “having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”.

All I have to say about this is: Finally, effing finally!

It Is Decidedly So!

I asked the Magic Ball if I would dream of Russell Tovey tonight and got the answer that "It was decidedly so", so I am off to bed in a hurry. See you all tomorrow!

The Difference Between A Master & His Pupil

It's the same wonderful chair by Apple Fall and the same man (although in another avatar-shape and unclothed), but a different venue and a different photographer.

It is easy to spot the differences between the two works, this one by Tomais is the better one in every sense of the word. If you should wish to compare with my snapshot, see my post My Man. I have much to learn, but will keep at it.

Just Because I Can

Butch has always told me he sometimes does things "Just because I can!".

So as a good pupil who has been learning at my guru's feet, I am posting this .gif because it's so damn cute and simply because I can.

It also reminds me of an old Scanian saying "som koddarna på katten, bakefter", meaning "as the nards of the cat, behind". It is commonly used to complain about tardy reactions.
