... when I like something, I get *obsessed* with it.
That explains my crazy thefuture collection, as well as my current obsession with mimsybueno bear hats. I still want to get a black kitty one, maybe a green one, and a yellow one, and and and....
I recently started a group for her hats! Please join :)
Tuneful: Did you miss us!? ^____^
Marlee: Hurry up and take the picture so she'll stop hugging me! D: D:
Oh, how I adore these girls! ♥ ♥ ♥
I feel so bad to break it to you, darling but if anyone has to tell you, best it be me. I grew up with your songs in my house as some of my solo company. As an only child, your words became my cherished siblings, your melodies my friends. That’s why it tears my heart up to admit it but I have to be honest. Leonard Cohen is a better lyricist than you.
You know it’s not that you’re not my type. I only prefer intellectuals, in fact. While it’s true I’ve known Leonard for only ten years now, you know how love on a train is… We had a huge affair from Chicago to NY and back again. Passing by all those midnight sleepy towns with Leonard singing “Hallelujah” amongst so many other great songs so sweetly in my ears…well, even all those childhood memories with you really can’t compare. It was unforgettable from the Waltz on the bed where the moon had been sweating to the Anthemic bells the birds were ringing across the blueish morning. A crack formed between Leonard and I…and well, the light got in.
I’ll admit I had terribly romantic visions of you too, sweetheart. The cover of The Freewheelin’ sums up my feelings best. I imagined myself as your North Country Girl as I listened for hours. You knew how to be both gentle and critical quite naturally. But, even your brilliant “Masters of War” cannot compete with Cohen’s “Everybody Knows.” or “There is a War.” “A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Fall” can’t quite stand up to “The Future” and “Don’t Think Twice it’s All Right” pales next to “Democracy.” “Restless Farewell” delivers but a paltry fraction compared to “Lady Midnight.” Let’s be honest, “Corrina, Corrina” is laughably sentimental next to “Avalanche,” “Take This Longing” or even “So Long, Marianne.”
Oh, I loved so many of your other albums too, Highway 61 Revisited’s vinyl is well worn, tender man. Yet, the poetry of these lyrics still can’t venture close enough to outrun Leonard. Your sensitivity in “It Takes A lot to Laugh. It Takes a Train to Cry,” just doesn’t match the personal intimacy in Leonard’s “Chelsea Hotel.” Oh yes, “Like a Rolling Stone” is rather epic but I like the questions asked in “Who By Fire?” much better. They just seem more sincere the way Leonard sings it too, I have to admit. “Desolation Row,” perhaps your finest work lyrically brings you closest to Leonard’s keen use of literary and historical allusion but isn’t as rich as “Joan of Arc.” “Queen Jane Approximately” threatens to make me forget Leonard just a bit but then I turn on “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye” and I realize it’s full of a different kind of honesty that I cherish much more.
There are many times you tried to demonstrate your keen awareness of women only to fail while Leonard succeeded and impressed. “Just Like a Woman” is a wasteland up against “Famous Blue Raincoat,” a song so rich with unbelievable story. “Boots of Spanish Leather” is but a small shadow of Leonard’s “Love Calls You By Your Name.” “On the Road Again” proves a tiny sliver of what “Dress Rehearsal Rag” achieves. “Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35” makes “Last Year’s Man” seem like an even larger masterpiece. “She Belongs To Me” accomplishes great heights but this woman you speak of would be unmemorable in the same room with “Suzanne”
Yes, it hurts me to tell you these things but I’ve been feeling it for so long. I hope you understand this is only for the best. You know how it is in a relationship when you hold back…you end up regretting it and you feel dishonest. Like a Bird on a Wire, I must try in my way to be free. You’re brilliant Dylan, but there’s a difference between brilliance and flawlessness. He’s the completeness women like me dream of and, he gets me better than you do. He can give me things you just can’t. And, he’s also the best lyricist alive.
Please don’t fret too much over this. I know it must be hard for you to hear. If I have been unkind, I hope you can just let it go by. But, I can’t allow you one more chance. It’s time to Walk Down the Highway. Try to be happy for us, though…and don’t worry, I promise you’re #2.
Goodbye is too good a word, Dylan so I’ll just say fare thee well.
Love,
Kirstiecat
p.s. Regardless though, I’d still recognize you on the street day or night anywhere. I just thought you should know.

Finally a decent photo whilst going slow in a car. Have taken other shots of other versions but they were not very good.

Just some quick shots I took this morning (with a toothbrush in my mouth). We've had bad weather all week but the light today was lovely and I couldn't miss a photo opportunity! Can't wait to photograph her properly over the weekend.

My new Usaggie arrived! I'm totally in love and already have my eye on another. Alex asked for me to name her Kitten, so that's her name, haha.
