An owl I can relate to

Is there anything sadder than an owl with a permanent concussion? Part of a great if small Flickr set of owls, including an adorable screech owl.

Am preparing another picspam barrage, including some archived pics. Thankfully my repository of 6500+ downloaded pics survived the XP-nuking-from-orbit, so some older but still noteworthy images will be appearing.

Still feel sick, but less congested. Dead tired. But too much to do today. Stoopid work.

Picspam: It's what's for breakfast

( With leftovers from Friday.... )

No reason for our wishes to be small things

Aubrey Matthews, aka "Star," woke up Friday morning to a phone call that a villain named Black had stolen a golden star from the Idaho Historical Museum. A Life Flight helicopter and police escort vehicles took her to the crime scene to talk to investigators. Aubrey found a clue, and the chase was on. Before capturing Black, Star rescued people from a "smoke"-filled building on Front Street, someone from drowning in ParkCenter Pond, and ferrets at Zoo Boise who had been framed for stealing the golden star.

Simply must-read to believe.

Picspam: yes, twice in one day

Note: I'm not going to post NSFW (definition) or NSFA images, certainly not intentionally. (It may be noted that my standards are becoming a little jaded with repeated exposure to the LJRPG. Goatse and Tubgirl just bounce right off now.) If I err, lemme know ASAP and I'll strike it down.

About the most extreme I'm going to get in terms of...well, general owie-ness are the last two images of these 20 images below. The first is supposed to be graphic violence, but it's from a Uwe Boll movie, so it screams of fakery. The second is an ear piercing, that's all. ...It's just...an extreme ear-piercing. If you're of weak fortitude, stop at the soccer-playing crow, or, just to be safe, Mormon vs. Ninja.

Not doing this to offend or to sicken; I can do that easily enough. It's just a momentary diversion, and if it's too much for y'all, then there's no point, is there?
