#ancient spain and the kitten

[turtlele]

Two liners from the Generator

——

Catalina : I’m gonna kill you.

Anne: Get in line!

————

Cathy: Hey there demons, It's me, ya boi.


Kat: Cathy, NO!

————

Cathy: Hostage or not, sometimes it’s nice being held.


Catalina : Are you okay.

————

Jane: Why are we friends?

Anne: Poor decisions on your part.

————

Cathy: Tell me a little about yourself.


Kat: I'd rather not, I really like this group.

————

Kat: Can you keep a secret?


Catalina: Do you know anything about my life?


Kat: No, I don't. Good point.

————

Anne: Can you keep a secret?


Kat: Well, I'm good until I meet the next person.

————

Anna: Can we talk? One 10 to another?


Kat: I’m an 11, but continue.

————

Catalina: ....Thou shalt not marry each other, for thy art both sinful...


Anne: I just wanna fucking marry Cathy!!

————

Jane: Anne isn't talking to me.


Catalina: Enjoy it while it lasts.

————

Catalina: If this plan goes down the drain, where should we regroup?


Cathy: The afterlife, I guess.

————

Cathy: The first time I saw you, you stole my heart.


Anne: But I'm a kleptomaniac, so that doesn't mean anything.

————

Cathy: I want a bf.


Anne: Do you mean best friend, boyfriend or bread feast? Because you’re being really vague here.

————

Jane: Ew. What kind of tea is this?


Anne: I boiled gatorade.

————

Kat: Yo! I heard you like reptiles, got any fun facts?


Cathy: If a crocodile eats your dad, they become your new dad.

[turtlele]

Did my own spin with it too.

————Everyone

Jane: Fine! Judge all you want but...

Jane, points at Anne: Married a lesbian.

Jane, points at Anna: Left a man at the altar.

Jane, points at Cathy: Fell in love with a gay ice dancer.

Jane, points at Catherine: Threw a girl’s wooden leg in a fire.

Jane, points at Kat: Lives in a box!

————

Jane: Throw lamps at people who need to lighten up, and throw handles at someone who needs to get a grip!

Cathy: Throw a refrigerator at someone who needs to chill!

Anna: Throw scissors at someone who needs to cut it out!

Kat: Throw a clock at someone who needs to get with the times!

Catherine: Throw matches at someone who needs to get fired up!

Anne: Throw a brick at someone to kill them.

————side of Clevarr

Cathy: Oh, to be a bored heir to the throne who keeps rejecting marriage proposals due to being secretly in love with the cute gardener.

Anna: Oh, to be a cute gardener who secretly places roses in the heir’s room because they are in love with them.

Jane: Oh, to be the palace guard who discreetly helps to boost the cute gardener up the wall for their secret deliveries in the middle of the night.

Anne: Oh, to be the heir’s best friend witnessing the two fools dance around each other while knowing damn well that the two like each other.

Kat: Oh, to be the noble suitor from another royal family who comes to know of their love instantly and plans an entire plan to get them their happy ending.

Catherine: Oh, to be a medieval peasant who knows nothing about the heir’s personal life and who dies of dysentery at age 23.

————

Kat: Many people are mildly dehydrated and don’t realize it. You should drink at least six glasses of water per day.

Cathy: No, eight glasses!

Anna: I heard ten.

Jane: You need to drink at least five glasses of water per minute.

*later…*

Catherine: Okay, I just read through every study I could find to try to figure out whether low-grade dehydration is even a real thing.

Kat: What did you learn?

Catherine: If you spend all day doing research and forget to eat or drink, you start to feel pretty bad.

Cathy: I’ll get some water.

Catherine: But how many glas–whoa, feeling dizzy.

Anne: Maybe you should just drink straight from the tap.

————Beheaded Cousins

Anne: You know you've made it when you see your picture everywhere you go.

Kat: Those are wanted posters!

————

Anne: Can you PLEASE peer pressure me into doing my project?

Kat: Do it or you're straight.

Anne: I said peer pressure, NOT THREATEN!

————First Divorced Beheaded Died

Catherine : Okay, how do I look? Be honest.

Jane: There’s no critic more honest than Anne!

Anne: Bad.

———

Jane: I just had a long talk with Anne and Catherine about hitting and now they are yelling “it’s my turn to perpetuate the cycle of violence” before hitting each other.

————Second Divorced Beheaded Survived

Kat: Aww, what's your dog's name?

Cathy: Spartacus.

Kat, yelling to Anna: TRY SPARTACUS!

Anna, on the computer: DIDN'T WORK!

Cathy:

Kat: What's your favorite number?

————Parrelyn? Idk I like the Cathy and Kat interaction

Cathy : HELP! I TOLD ANNE I'D COOK DINNER TONIGHT BUT I CAN'T COOK!

Kat, pouring milk directly into the cereal bag: And you thought I could help?

————Parrmour

Jane: What are you talking about Cathy? You love it here!

Cathy : I'm not sure I do, I think I've just developed Stockholm syndrome.

————Parrward

Kat: Hey, babe, remember how I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up my ADHD meds?

Cathy : Yes?

Kat: Well, it turns out they're all out for the next five days.

Cathy : Fuck.

Kat: It's gonna be a fun week!

Cathy : I'm going to Anne's house.

Kat: Nuh-uh. Through sickness and health, motherfucker.

————

Kat, texting Cathy : Hey do you like anyone?

Cathy : Yeah you

Kat: …I like you too

Cathy: *Yeah, you?

Cathy: Oh

Kat: *dies inside*

————Clevarr

Anna: What do you call a dictionary on drugs?

Cathy: If you say "addict-ionary" I swear I will cut you.

Anna: I was actually going to say "high definition", but your answer's much better.

Cathy:

————Katanna

Kat: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.

Anna: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

————Clevemour

Anna: You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy. 


Jane: I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep. 


Anna: I said within reason, Jane. How about I murder that guy?

Jane: So murder is in reason but proper self care isn't?

Anna: Well, duh. What kind of question is that?

————Araleyn

Anne: Come to dinner tonight. I can’t cook, but I’ll bring plenty of free wine.

Catherine : Marry me.

————2Anna

Anne: We’re getting married, bitches!

Anna: And we're about to make it everybody else's problem.

————Ancient Spain and the kitten

Catherine: You’re charged with…..breaking into a pet store?

Kat: I thought the animals might be lonely.

————Nothing like cousin bonding am I right

*Jane is helping Anne break out of prison*

Jane: Sooo… Does this make us partners in crime?

Anne: Don’t push it.

Jane: Oh my gosh, we can be like Harley Quinn and the Joker!

Anne: If you don’t stop talking, they’re adding “murder” to the charges.

————Aramour

Catherine : Hey, about that love letter you sent me-

Jane: *blushes* What are your thoughts?

Catherine : The fourth sentence-

Jane: Yeah, that’s where I got really emotional and I-

Catherine : It’s “you’re” not “your”.

————When will justice be served!

*at a zoo*

Kat: What are they in for?

Jane: Kat, this isn't prison.

Kat: So they can leave?

Jane: No, but-

Kat, pointing at a meerkat: I bet that one murdered someone.

————Divorced Duo

Anna: Be kind. Everyone is fighting their own battles.

Catherine : Why would I be kind? I will be brutal and relentless and ride into battle by their side!

————Parrelyn or not??

Cathy: I'm bored, any suggestions?

Anne: Sleeping is nice.

Cathy: I acknowledge your suggestion, and I’m deciding to ignore it.

Using GENERATOR for Parrleyn quotes and spitting whatever makes sense (AKA PT. 0)

Cathy: Just a minute. I need to go take out the trash. Anne: Oh. We're going out? Cathy: Wh…

Sprigatito Nonsense

English,Italian,and Spanish use the same mon names

Name combines “Sprig” with Spanish that means “little cat” aka a kitten

New region seems very Spain and/or Italy-Inspired by limited experience I’ve picked up in fiction and/or images of the countries

Description calls it capricious...Caprese Salad is Italian

Grass starter mon theory goes that the final stage inspiration is based primarily on an ancient animal,if those fangs stick out when its mouth is closed we might have our sabertooth tiger by its final evolution

Likewise, persons who love to give an ancient look to their commercial places use these symbol plates on the lawn, lobby, or hall areas that attract people to have a photo with the mounted sign. Similarly, the calico cat coffee metal tin is also a trendy piece.

The mystery behind the Calico cat coffee metal tin print

There is something special about every cat, regardless of their hair pattern or pigment. However, a few, such as calico cats, maybe more appealing, and you may wonder why. Let's discuss and learn about calico cats if you want some fun facts to amaze your friends at trivia night. Further, calico cats have existed for a very long time, and while it's impossible to know for sure where calico cats came from.

Moreover, a study followed them along shipping trade routes in Europe and Northern Africa. Similarly, the orange mutant gene present in calicos is thought to have originated in Egypt and has been traced back to that country. France, Greece, Italy, and Spain have port cities along the Mediterranean Sea.

However, Egyptian merchants are thought to have brought calico cats embarked their ships to help keep mice and creeps off their cargo. Therefore, the cats' DNA was spread worldwide as the ships traveled from port to port. The cats' DNA was spread worldwide as the ships traveled from port to port. So, it became the reason for their origin in the world.

When and how the Calico cat becomes Maryland's national mammal?

The calico cat was declared Maryland's official cat in 2001. What's the reason behind it? Further, the Maryland state bird, the Baltimore oriole, and the Maryland state insect, the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly, share the calico cat's orange, black, and white fur coloration. Therefore, it considers the national cat of Maryland.

Another humorous fact about Calico cats is Maine, Massachusetts, and Maryland is the only three states in the United States that have official cat representatives for their official state mammal. Therefore, as you may have guessed, Maine's official cat is the Maine Coon, and the tabby cat is the state cat of Massachusetts. Therefore, people of that nation love to own a print of calico cat coffee metal tin at their workplaces.

In brief, the calico cat coffee metal tin is a vintage look for most coffee shops and eating points, especially worldwide. As numerous places offer this print, the chiefstreasure.com website offers it at very reasonable prices for their customers. You can grab your products here.

New Mexico Just off the Turquoise Trail

The first two days of this trip were troublesome, nearly problematic… sorta. We got an early (early!) start, leaving home at 4:45. Traffic wasn’t bad, not even the trucks. Of the 8 construction zones that Google maps identified, which turned into 11-12, none of them slowed us down much. No merging problems, and never below about 60mph. So we arrived at our reserved hotel at about lunch time – much earlier than we usually stop driving. (Exaggeration maybe, and gaining an hour at the New Mexico border did affect our timing. Plus, we had reserved a hotel, due to so many travelers escaping lockdown). But we used the free afternoon to drive a scenic road that was actually more cool than scenic with the find of some awesome old churches. And the location of where Coronado stopped over for 4 days to build a bridge across the Pecos River. We tried to find Pecos Bill. Maybe next time.

The troublesome, nearly problematic parts were in the area of our energy. After the activities of the 2nd day, we were toast. Debbie was so weary as to be sick from it. The hotel bed was heavenly, tho, so good rest was had.

 The morning drive out of our stop (Santa Rosa) was horrific with the truckers. The rudest in the world apparently drive I-40 going west from Santa Rosa and we interacted with many of them. Speaking of Santa Rosa, the California city that was burned up in 2020, is where Wayne moved from in 1979 to return to the land of ancestry (on his dad’s side), Arkansas. Working in the Post Office in Santa Rosa, CA, he saw a ton of misdirected letters that should have gone to New Mexico. Conversely, a lot of Santa Rosa, CA mail that was supposed to go to another address in Santa Rosa, CA, took a side trip to Santa Rosa, NM first.

 Our next hotel in Albuquerque, the city of Debbie’s birth (thanks to the United States Air Force) was touted as a ‘full-service’ facility, which means no free breakfast. Don’t know about you, but for 150 million bucks, we want free waffles! (and yogurt) And we ain’t payin’ no $25 for a hotel breakfast where you can’t even order what you want (free waffles!) Also, now, mind you that this is during the Covid19 Delta-variant-surging-wave, one of the two elevators in a 6-floor hotel is closed. Once while we were on the only operative one, descending from the 5th floor, it stopped at the 3rd where 2 employees and a customer charged in to join us. NO! We scored a strike bowling them down as we clamored over them to get out. WHAT’S A’MATTER WITH PEOPLE? (Besides bein’ knocked out.)

 We got to our house sit and guess what? The promised hot tub doesn’t work, the homeowner had compromised the wiring while tryin’ to electrificate a tree that grows through the deck. After immediately kicking their two dogs (NO, we didn’t), the homeowners pledged that the promised hot tub would be repaired before our house sit was to start. Afraid for their pets’ lives, they did, it was, and a hot tub at 7000’ is sublime. All is well in New Mexico. And even better yet, the owners invited us back before we even unpacked. Now we feel bad for our earlier disappointment.

 Speaking of hot tubs, this trip afforded us the best in terms of stars, satellites, and shooting (falling?) stars. They were awesome.

 New Mexico, which should change its name to Carson State, or Navajo State, seems to have a distinct lack of historic, or cultural, heroes. Coronado, the famed Spanish explorer abused the native Indians (Pueblo, Navajo, Zuni, Apache, Comanche, Ute, Kiowa), and probably more, to the degree that they revolted in 1680. There was blood, followed by bad blood. Coronado was solely interested in exploiting both the people, and their wealth, had he ever found the lost cities of gold. Coronado aside, there were famous trappers and hunters, but none who benefitted the development of the state, or any people groups within. Kit Carson seems to be the singular stand out as far as heroic figures go. (There may be a bunch of indigenous folks, or folks of Spanish ancestry worthy of the acclaim, I don’t know.) Starved for notoriety of some sort (even bad press is better than no press), modern New Mexicans (Carsonians) point to Billy the Kid – almost to the degree of the George Washington slept here hype. While eastern states laud actual heroes: Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, John Paul Jones, Paul Revere, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, General Anthony Wayne (hah!), Ashley McBride (ha-ha!), and the like, New Mexicans extol a murdering punk, a villain. Oh well, even bad publicity …

Despite the obvious lack of historical heroes, New Mexico does not lack for historical enchantment. The sights are spectacular, especially the mountains and even the smaller rock formations. The people are friendly (excepting the murderous Billy). The food is great. Wayne prefers the red chili peppers while Debbie, the green. Wayne likes to actually see the mold in his food.

After a short two-mile hike with a thousand-foot elevation gain, it was time for Sparkly, our glittery black Ford Edge, to finally get his way, a trip up a bona fide Jeep/ATV road/trail. It used to be a road. In fact, we drove it with ease two years ago. A local told us that the monsoons they’ve had washed it away. Sparkly wanted to go fast, so Wayne let him have his head, doubling the recommended 2mph. Sparkly was sometimes difficult to restrain.

 The adventure was worth it, offering a Stephen King Misery experience. A mountain lion crossed the ‘road’ just ahead of us. Wayne stopped and got out of the car to check out where it had headed. (maybe not the most clever of options) Low and behold, (BTW, we loathe and despise cliches, but sometimes it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye) A hundred or so feet down the nearly 90 degree drop-off was a vehicle smashed into a tree. Though there were no obvious signs of a recent departure from the ‘road’, it could have fairly flown over the nearby brush. Or it could have gone over when there was snow cover. Or … anyway, going down to check whether there was a corpse in the vehicle while theoretically possible, didn’t seem very well-advised considering that there might very well be a mountain lion finishing up what might be left and much preferring the live meat presenting himself on a veritable platter – Wayne.

Surprisingly, there was cell service in this remote mountainous area. From a Sandia Mountain trail map handout, we got through to someone who transferred the call to the proper authority. While they appreciated our call, they’d been aware of the vehicle and that it had been there for some time. But how weird, that the mountain lion crossed exactly where we could see the crashed vehicle. What if it wasn’t the same crash that the authority thought they knew about? What if the driver was just then coming to, only to see a mountain lion eating his face? (Limiting Wayne’s Stephen King intake.)

 Another mile down the ‘road’ we saw a mountain lion kitten, though it was barely a kitten, nearly as large as its mother, and almost devoid of kitten colorations and markings. We watched it in awe for some time before thinking to take a photo. You just have to believe us (or not) that the blond blur in the below picture is the kitten.

 Another quarter mile brought us to our promised hike, a trail to what was described as a Cave Man Cave. Unless we’d unknowingly driven across the Atlantic, it is doubtful that cave men had ever seen New Mexico, let alone inhabited this cave. More than likely the occupants, for which sufficient evidence supported the probability, were ancient indigenous people, no doubt using the cave to hide from mountain lions at night. The cave was cool, but there are better in Arkansas.

 A serendipitous hike in the Sandia Mountains showed us a plethora of wildflowers; most were varieties this Arkansas couple do not normally see. But the star of the show was a large mule deer buck who calmly sauntered in the trail behind us when we stopped for a rest (hiking at high altitude is hard, y’all!).

A retracing of a trip up the Turquoise Trail from 2 years ago put us re-hiking a trail in Cerrillos State Park, just south of Santa Fe. Several old mineral mines dot this trail and their history is revealed in very good signage. Passing through Madrid (unlike the one in Spain, this one is pronounced MAA’-drid), we were stopped for several minutes on Hwy 14 due to a ‘special event’ which we could not see. When allowed to pass through the artsy, cutesy town, we saw evidence of a movie being filmed. After exploring Cerrillos, we returned to Madrid for ice cream and got to watch some of the preparations for more filming. We did not get to see the part where the clipboard snaps and someone yells, “ACTION!” but it was enough. This same town was used for some of the scenes in the motorcycle film Wild Hogs and one building still boasts the ‘Diner’ sign that was added only for the film. Sign on the door says they do not serve food there. One can understand the confusion for tourists. We found out the movie being filmed during our trip is titled Robots and is a futuristic comedy starring Shailene Woodley and written by one of the writers on Borat. Cool beans. We ran into the film company yet again a day or two later, this time in a couple of sites in the Sandia Mountains. Whether the finished movie turns out to be good or meh, we’ll be watching it to catch glimpses of the gorgeous New Mexico countryside. New Mexico and Colorado have several movie ranches sprinkled in the very scenic areas.

 15 months, or so, ago we were house-sitting in Durango when paper Closed for Covid signs went up on doors in business-after-business. Here’s one for the whole town.

 While touristing Old Town Albuquerque we suddened upon a shop managed by a very personable guy who gave us a cup of Arabica/piñon coffee. When we house-sat in Sante Fe last year we talked to a State Park Ranger dude who told us all bout people picking piñon nuts. Having marvelously (Debbie word) passed the aroma tests, we bought a box of K-cups of this unique, pinon flavored brew. The personable guy turned out to be the artist, David Behrens (DavidBehrensGallery.com and Facebook.com/DavidBehrensGallery).

 This trip ranks among the best, or at the top of the list: obedient and FUN pets, very clean and comfortable home, fantastic hiking and scenery (despite the photo-compromising smoke), and very gracious hosts who offered us their entire refrigerator! Regarding the smoke, we shouldn’t be too self-centered considering it may be what’s left of someone’s home passing overhead.

Here are more pix from the trip. Enjoy!

Cat-Man of Paris

The first thing that strikes you about Cat-Man of Paris is the damned title.  It sounds like somebody was trying to cash-in on Werewolf of London as transparently as The Wild Wild World of Batwoman was trying to cash in on Batman, but that's actually not the case – Cat-Man of Paris was made ten years later, and the story's not all that similar.  Then you see that the cast includes Carl Esmond from Agent for HARM and start to think of the movie in MST3K terms.  Finally, you actually watch the thing, and discover that the film itself is fucking bizarre.

It's 1895 or thereabouts, and a series of terrible murders are happening in Paris.  Oddly enough, they're all of people whose existence was somehow inconvenient to rising literary star Charles Regnier.  The first victim was a lawyer working to prove that Regnier's latest book contains government secrets that he must have learned illegally.  He's found dead under a tree not far from where his cab driver left him.  The second is Regnier's ex-fiancee Marguerite, who took the breakup rather hard.  Inspector Severin suspects that Regnier himself is the murderer and sets out to prove it, but the Prefect of the police, backed up by an ancient astrological text, has a theory of his own.  He believes the murders are the work of the legendary Cat-Man!

After the first murder, the police are looking at a dollhouse model of the crime scene and discussing the circumstances of the case, and the Prefect simply decides that if it looks like a cat clawed the victim, then it must have been a Cat-Man!  There's no giant pawprints, no shed fur at the scene, no suspicious hairballs by the body... the injuries themselves are all he has to go on and his first theory is an ailouranthrope!  The other men at the meeting think this is ridiculous, and I can imagine Mike and the bots having all kinds of fun with it.  They would probably make a running joke out of the Prefect's evident conviction that all crimes are committed by Cat-Men.  Unexplained murders?  Cat-Man.  Thefts?  Obviously a Cat-Man, why do you think they're called cat burglars?  Vandalism?  Gotta be a Cat-Man, cats are always peeing on things and scratching the furniture.  Naming a pig Napoleon? When was the last time you saw a cat respect anybody's rules?

Regnier's best friend, Henri Bouchard, also comes to believe that Regnier is a murderous werecat.  Rather than wanting him apprehended, however, Bouchard decides to smuggle Regnier into Spain.  There he can hide, and the world will not be deprived of his literary genius!  What do a few innocent victims here and there really matter if the killer also writes really gripping legal drama? I am all for disconnecting the work from the author, but talent does not excuse straight up doing terrible things.  Rosemary's Baby is a pretty good movie, but Polanski still belongs in jail.

Then there's the implication that these events are going to have dire consequences for all of France, maybe all the world... but the movie never tells us what those are.  The Prefect hires an astrologer, who tells them that the Cat-Man is an omen of doom.  He stalked the streets of Rome during the persecutions of the Christians and attended upon the coronations of tyrants like Ivan the Terrible.  The revelation of the Cat-Man's psychic powers (by the time this comes up, the movie is so deep in bullshit that trust me, you'll just accept it) suggests that he is in fact an intentional troublemaker, not only portending chaos but actively causing it.  The final reveal only makes sense of we assume that the Cat-Man was deliberately sent, by God or Satan or The Universe or something, to bring those secrets out into the open, and his history tells us there will be earth-shattering consequences.

But at the end the Cat-Man dies, the hero kisses the girl, and the credits roll... and that's it.  What doom was he portending?  People talk about 'the secret trial of Louis Chambret' as if it's very important, maybe something along the lines of the Dreyfus Affair, but we never learn any details.  Since history tells us that there was no tyrant or religious persecution in France in the late 19th century, I can only assume that the government successfully banned Regnier's book and threw him in prison.  Kinda puts a kibosh on that whole 'happy ending' thing.  Either that, or the writers just straight-up forgot what their movie was about by the time they got to the end.

Even if that were indeed the Cat-Man's goal, his way of going about accomplishing it doesn't make a lick of sense.  The Cat-Man says he wants to protect Regnier – that's why he killed the lawyer and the ex-fiancee, either of whom could have ruined Regnier's reputation. Fine... but why does he later attack Marie, the girl Regnier left Marguerite for?  If Marguerite was a threat to Regnier's happiness, wouldn't killing Marie put a much more lasting damper on it?  And why the hell did the Cat-Man go to such trouble to frame Regnier?  Why dress like him?  Why make sure nobody knows where Regnier is while the crimes are happening?  Even if Regnier's blackouts are somehow essential to what the Cat-Man is doing, why not make sure he has them in public places with lots of people around, so that he'll at least have an alibi?  And why, in Bast's feline name, did he leave Regnier's gloves at one of the crime scenes?

But that's just the big stuff.  Cat-Man of Paris is a sort of weirdness fractal, in that as you look closer, it just kind of keeps getting stranger and stranger in tinier and tinier ways.  Take, for example, the moment when it attempts to convince us that there is a twelve-foot housecat actually wandering the streets of Paris, only to pull back and show us a miniature street being used by the police to talk about the crime scene.  This is obviously the same miniature that was used as a backdrop in several previous scenes and it appears somebody really wanted that 'giant cat' shot in the movie because it would be far more plausible for the police to use a map in this scene.  Why was there a cat in the police station anyway?

Then there's the two points at which the movie tries have an action scene, both of which are ruined by the setting.  There's a chair-breaking, man-throwing barfight that would not be at all out of place in a Western but is very out of place in a high society Parisian restaurant!  Then there's a car chase of sorts, but in elegant horse-drawn carriages along tree-lined roads in the genteel countryside!  I'm sure there must be a way to do these things right even in the Belle Époque setting, but the way Cat-Man of Paris did it is just laughable.

There's the fact that the Cat-Man commits his murders in a top hat and opera cloak.  This almost makes sense if you assume, as one does for most of the movie, that the Cat-Man either is Regnier or is trying to frame Regnier.  The murders happen on nights when Regnier was out on the town, dressed in formal wear.  If the Cat-Man doesn't want Regnier blamed, it makes no sense at all.  Related is the scene in which Marguerite, seeing a man in formal dress, invites him into her carriage on the assumption that it's Regnier and then delivers a soliloquy about the state of their relationship while never once looking him in the face and realizing she's picked up a murderous Cat-Man instead!

There's the series of hallucinations that precede Regnier's blackouts.  These are of lightning strikes and stormy seas, and end in the image of a black cat on a black background, which in black-and-white film looks like a cat face just floating in the dark. It's meant to be creepy but the cat is clearly a young kitten and even in this presentation it's adorable.  Besides the kitten, what do any of these images mean?  The other explanation offered for Regnier's disturbed mental state is a relapse into some kind of fever he caught while travelling in the tropics, but there's nothing particularly tropical about any of the things he sees.  There isn't even anything particularly feline, besides the simple fact that cats don't like lightning or water.  I don’t get it.  I don't get any of it!

Beneath all this weirdness, the movie is plenty bad in more traditional ways, too.  The dialogue reminds me of The She-Creature, in that almost all of it is clunky exposition that nevertheless somehow fails to ever explain what the hell is going on. Sets and costumes are nice but not particularly memorable, and anachronistic in the way old period movies often are, such that it's somehow more obvious the movie was made in the 1940s than that it was set in the 1890s.  No two actors are able to agree on what a French accent sounds like.  Special effects are for the most part wisely avoided, but the movie must eventually show us what the Cat-Man looks like.  The makeup is onscreen for only seconds but is predictably terrible.

The fine folks at Ain't It Cool News thought Cat-Man of Paris was slow and tedious and needed more monster.  They're kind of right, but I also think they weren't paying enough attention.  I mean, there's a book with nothing written in it.  There's that ridiculous fucking giant cat scene and the bit that will have you yelling at the screen, look to the right, you bedazzled nitwit!  There's a plot point that turns upon a creepy artist who likes to draw women without their permission.  I mean yeah, the movie's slow, and although it's only an hour long you do find yourself wondering if it's over yet, but there's plenty of DIY-MST3K material here if you only take the trouble to look for it.

  The heat is overwhelming.  A blanket of scorching air thrown over the city.  The dogs wilt, I pretend it’s just like Malibu but… it’s not.  Southern Spain.  I’m driving to Nice this week, then on to Paris and Chamonix to pick up my stuff.   I managed to leave things all over the place.  Ditching things along the way.  Lightening the load.  Occasionally I look at Dude and wonder if I should ditch him… poor crippled Dude.  His back legs giving in, he wants to catch up but he just can’t.   I can’t.  I can’t leave him behind.

At 5am, I took my coffee cup and the Little Dog.  We sat quietly looking out at the wide open plain, great fields of sunflowers, traffic snaking here and there.  Sitting outside the Cordoba Gate.  What dramas happened here?  Who was allowed in and who was kept out?  The two large fortified towers flanking a Roman arch were built around the 1st century A.D., with Renaissance and Neoclassical renovations.  It was designed to protect and reflect the great wealth Carmona enjoyed for hundreds of years.

A man arrives with his chestnut gelding,  as the horse drinks from the stone trough he drenched the beast with a plastic bucket.  How welcome that trough must have been to those who arrived for hundreds of years on horseback over the arid plain.  Waiting for the great doors to swing open, waiting outside the Cordoba gate, waiting to be let in or not.

I am going to stay the weekend in Italy with Rachel.  Near Pisa.  She has a donkey and two beloved cats.   At night Carmona is over run with scavenging cats.  Hundreds of them, like rats in New York.  They are too confident to be scared by me or the Little Dog even though he makes an occasional and pathetic attempt at charging them.  Their backs arch, they hiss and show their claws.  He stops a couple of feet away and makes his strange whimper.

Last night my friend Jose and I explored the ancient part of the city.  At 10.30 it was still very hot.  Then suddenly the wind comes from Cadiz, from the ocean… 60 miles away.  You can taste the salt.  We turn a corner and the welcome breeze fills our shirts and closes our eyes.

We were chronicling abandoned houses, with or with out se vende signs written on them.   Taking note of the location of each.  “Everything is for sale in Spain.”  The realtor says.  There are palaces and broken shacks, old towers and ancient islamic, crenelated walls formerly part of the old city fortification that crash into very ordinary houses and quite by accident these medieval battlements, parapets and mouldings are consumed and preserved.

Everything in Spain is for sale.  They see me coming: the friend of the rich celebrity.  The price of everything jumps $40k.  They show me the same houses they showed other friends two years ago.  Unlocking ancient doors, we wander through huge homes once occupied by many families.  There are slim balconies, stone steps leading to terraces looking down on secret courtyards.  There is pigeon shit and kittens mewing in every room in every house we saw.  Abandoned lives: a simple chair, a faience pot, a richly embroidered matador’s jacket hanging on the wall.  Left behind, like my luggage in Paris and Chamonix.

Jose asks me why I want to live in Carmona.  They asked me about Tivoli and Malibu before.  Why does anyone want to live anywhere?  I don’t know.  I could live anywhere and nowhere.  I am transient.  I am free of possession or need for possessions.  I go where I am safe.  It is safe here.  I lived in so much fear in the USA.  Fear of being caught without my papers.  Fear of the state.  I was not rich or powerful enough not to live in fear.

We wake at 4.30am.  We siesta after lunch.  The streets fill, the shops and bars open after 9pm. During the day Dude will not leave my friend, he hides under their garden furniture.  I keep the dogs out of the heat as much as I can. The Little Dog is gradually (slowly) recovering from his facial paralysis. He’s still very droopy but he’s coping.  He’s doing the best he can.  I’m doing the best I can.  I am covered with sweat and dust.  My nose is crusty, my eyes exhausted.  I am recovering my optimism.

Since leaving the USA I am not plagued with ideas of death, with dark thoughts, with hopelessness.  I am not hurting myself by investing in old traumas. Not here. I don’t want to die.  Not where there has been so much life for hundreds of thousands of years.  I am a smear soon to be forgotten.  My unpopular views on social media but dust.  It’s incumbent on me to stay alive.  To rejoice.  America makes a man vulnerable.  It destroys ones trust in humanity. I came to loathe so many people in the USA but I hated gay white men more than any other.  They are vile and crude.  They espouse ideas of love and acceptance but practiced hate and exclusivity.

Today we are having lunch in Seville with Spanish gays.  I am excited.  The gay men I meet here are so generous.  They touch my shoulder, they embrace me warmly.  At first I shrank from their kindness.  I learned not to trust white gay men.  But, I’ve warmed to them here.  They understand.  They understand what horrors I endured in the USA.

                The Heat The heat is overwhelming.  A blanket of scorching air thrown over the city.  The dogs wilt, I pretend it's just like Malibu but...

"Madainn Mhath” …Fellow Scot, I hope the day brings joy to you…. Big Fat Moon hangs pendulously in the early morning sky… one day more and it will be “Full” and reflecting light in all its glory… not that it isn’t doing a grand job this morning almost daylight at 4.00 am as Bella and I start our morning walk… A big Owl swoops down the tree lined road, on the hunt for food for the young me thinks, as I watch it drift silently by, plenty of rodents to catch, maybe even the odd wild kitten as I say It’s a dangerous world out there….

OPEN-AIR CONCERT ANNOUNCED FOR SKYE’S CUILLIN…. It is the rocky mountain range that offers some of the most rugged landscapes and challenging climbs in Britain. But now the Cuillin on the Isle of Skye is set to provide the backdrop to a spectacular open-air concert. Audiences will face a two-hour walk from Glen Brittle beach to the corrie where the hour-long performance will unfold. The “Concert in a Coire” event, which will have a capacity of 75, will be staged in near-darkness and postponed in the event of a downpour. Just two musicians, violinist George Smith and cellist Duncan Strachan, will be joining forces with sound engineer Sam Annand to stage the site-specific performance in the natural “amphitheatre” of Coire Lagan. However, a 30-strong team of mountain guides and volunteers will be working on the concert on 15 April, which is believed to be the first event of its type to be staged in the Cuillin. It will feature specially created music and sound effects inspired by the corrie, which boasts a tiny loch surrounded by gigantic rock peaks, Skye’s traditional music heritage and ancient Gaelic song. Field recordings of water, wind and rock captured in the area will be deployed in the show, which will also feature lighting effects will transform the corrie as the natural light fades from the day. Each audience member will be given a head torch for the walk back down the mountain path from Coire Lagan to Glen Brittle, where local produce and ales will be served up on their return from the concert. The concert will be staged 12 years on from arts organisations NVA’s acclaimed sound and light show The Storr, which brought 6,500 people onto the Old Man of Storr at Trotternish, on Skye.

PAOLO NUTINI DENIES BEING TWICE OVER DRINK DRIVE LIMIT… Songwriter Paolo Nutini has denied on Wednesday drink driving in a Mini. The New Shoes star appeared at the sheriff court in his home town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, to face claims he took to the wheel while more than twice the drink-drive limit. The singer, who has released three platinum albums, denies he broke Section 5(1)(a) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 when driving along the town’s Maxwellton Street, Canal Street and High Road. Prosecutors claim he had 48 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath - more than double the 22mcg legal limit - while driving a Mini Cooper S three-door hatchback. The 30-year-old was arrested over the alleged offence on 21 February and was released on an undertaking to appear at court. When he appeared in the dock yesterday defence solicitor Massimo Franchi told Sheriff Derek Hamilton his client maintained his innocence. The lawyer said: “I appear with Mr Nutini, who pleads not guilty to the charge.” He asked for Nutini to be ordained to appear at future hearings, as opposed to being released on bail, and asked for his attendance to be excused from a pre-trial hearing because of his commitments. He explained: “I have spoken to the Crown in relation to this matter - they know what the specific defence is in this case.

BENJAMIN LUDWIG FOUND AFTER COVE BELONGINGS SEARCH… A German man who sparked an appeal for sightings after his belongings were found on a clifftop path outside Aberdeen has been found safe and well. Items belonging to Benjamin Ludwig, 34, had been discovered at Cove on Sunday. Police Scotland said on Wednesday that he had been traced safe and well, and thanked the public and media for helping.

NATTERJACK TOAD NUMBERS INCREASE FIVEFOLD ON MERSEHEAD RESERVE…. Natterjack toad numbers have increased fivefold on an RSPB Scotland reserve during the course of a three-year conservation project. Work started at Mersehead in Dumfries and Galloway in 2013 after severe winter storms hit the area. They had destroyed sand dunes which the rare amphibians often hibernate in and there were concerns for their survival. At the start of the project about 30 breeding males were counted on the site but numbers have now reached 150. The Solway Firth is the only place natterjacks can be found in Scotland. Works to help boost their numbers at Mersehead included the creation of shallow ponds for the toads to breed in. RSPB Scotland set up a "mugshot database" of natterjack toad photographs during its surveys, to ensure that the same individuals were not being counted night after night. Natterjach toad carries a unique wart pattern and yellow "racing stripe" on its back which together act much like a human fingerprint. James Silvey, RSPB Scotland's species and habitats officer, said: "It's fantastic to see that the natterjack population is responding to the habitat management we've put in place. "The evidence of toads breeding in three of the five ponds we made for them in 2015 is a real highlight. "Natterjack populations are declining across most of their range in Scotland due to climate change and inappropriate management, making the population at Mersehead all the more important." He said they hoped to see numbers increase further and more work is planned to expand the habitat available to the toads.

TRACKER DEVICE LOCATES GLASGOW CAR THIEF…. The stolen car was fitted with a tracker and belonged to James Watson - a manager at an Arnold Clarke dealership. A thief who stole a man's car from Glasgow's west end was caught because the car had a tracker device. John Devine, 27, demanded James Watson, 32, get out of his Vauxhall Astra and then drove off with it on 2 December last year. The tracker led police to a filling station in Bishopbriggs, where Devine was filling the car with petrol. He pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court and was jailed for 10 months and 15 days. Devine, from North Kelvinside, was also disqualified from driving for nine months. When he spotted police at the filling station, he ran off but was caught by officers and claimed: "I didn't steal it, I was borrowing it." The court heard Mr Watson was a manager at an Arnold Clarke dealership. He had just parked on Hopehill Road to start work when Devine approached him. Procurator fiscal depute John Bedford said: "Devine then opened the driver's door and stated to Mr Watson to get out the vehicle." He said Devine started the engine with the keys that were left in the ignition then drove off Mr Bedford added: "It was established that Mr Watson's vehicle was fitted with a tracking system." It was activated and it was used to track the movements of the vehicle.

DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY FESTIVAL FUNDING FATES REVEALED…. The council supports a wide range of festivals and events across Dumfries and Galloway. Levels of proposed council funding for a string of festivals across Dumfries and Galloway have been revealed. The local authority will give out a total of £275,000 towards a variety of events in 2017/18. The biggest single grants go to the Wigtown Book Festival and the Big Burns Supper in Dumfries. However, they both face a reduction in their funding along with two other "signature events" - Spring Fling and Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival.

All good stuff....But remember it’s a dangerous world we live in ….. Be safe out there…

Cat Head For more than four millennia cats have fascinated and inspired our own less poised species. The ancient Egyptians went as far as to mummify their feline friends, who they also happened to worship, and the four-legged creatures have since made their way into our contemporary homes, hearts and news feeds. It’s hard to imagine what the Internet would be today without its glittering cast of celebrity kittens, Grumpy Cat now has her own memoir and an animatronic waxwork at Madame Tussauds, Pusheen (LOVE Pusheen) the slightly cumbersome burger-eating tabby, Choupette – the fabulous life of – not forgetting ‘Neko Atsume’ (obsessed – give up your momento Conductor Whiskers) the two-dimensional Japanese gaming app that allows you to collect kittens and spoil them with fictional toys and treats. Perhaps such cultural currency was what inspired Jonathan Anderson, Loewe’s famously esoteric creative director, to celebrate our somewhat sacred relationship with these creatures. Crafted from nappa leather, Loewe’s cat head pendants are feats of its leather workshops which have somehow managed to make the material look like marbled porcelain. There’s an air of the kitsch ‘maneki-neko’ to them, the plastic Chinatown cat figurines with a paw raised firmly in the air believed to give good fortune to their owners and as it turns out, just like the Egyptians, we’re utterly in awe of a statement charm and we wouldn’t mind taking this one to our tombs. #chapeaulondon #chapeaublog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #wordsandpictures #amazing #london #lifestyle #cats #loewe #spain #jonathananderson #leather #grumpycat #pusheen #nekoatsume #choupette
