In the meantime: here is a .gif of my cat Siepie stealing celebratory breakfast salmon (not mine)

Hello world

Oh hey! How nice to see you! How've you been? Sit down, have a drink, do you want me to get you a snack? Sandwich? Chips?
....like I'd ever have snacks in the house. Or drinks. Or a CHAIR. Oh well.

So yeah.

You have reached my first proper attempt at "blog" inspired by my amazing friend Clara who sometimes takes time off from her full time job as Awesomist to "blog". She does this so well (with pictures and reviews and music recommendations and everything) that I felt inspired to follow her lead and create a blogger account. Then let it fester for a few months. Then mess around with the layout for a bit. Then finally sit down and start my first entry. Okay this is a lie. Like I said seating arrangements are a luxury in this house. I am totally lying down on a mattress. But the entry part is true!

I have no idea yet what kind of blog this will be. It might be a ramble type blog with no set subject (as you can see rambling is my speciality) or it might have reviews or essays or stuff about my current place of residence or cats. Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: this will be a .gif blog. Because if there's two things I love, it's taking pictures of stuff and then making them move using the magic of computery. So I leave you with this.


I took a few pictures of this amazing tiny man. He was making bubbles on a square in Paris and kind of dancing around with them. At first I had the intention of stringing them all together in a dreamy Jeunet-esque montage, but in the end I decided that I much prefer this "Man VS Bubble" match I created by accident. It kind of looks like the bubble just wants to be loved and the guy is totally not having it. Poor bubble. I think we all know what that feels like.
