Random Thoughts Thursday 195
- A few weeks ago my favorite cartoonist, Nathan W Pyle, announced that he was doing commissions for cat or dog drawings. I was SO EXCITED when I saw that, and asked him to do one of Data. I love how he incorporated Data specific things – his love for toy mice, popcorn, and wearing a tie. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Perfect timing to receive it too. Follow Nathan on insta – he’s great and will make you smile/laugh!
- On Monday they tore up the street we live off of. I was impressed they did that all in one day. I hope the repaving goes as quickly. Those new paved shoulders are going to be AMAZING!!!
- Alright, so I’ve gotten really in to the Aurora book (even though I don’t love the ship’s computer narrating it). Apparently I’m so in to it, that talking about it excitedly to a coworker yesterday made her add it to her library hold list, and pick up that day! I got to the page Tom Hanks hyped up, 321… My excitement was building as I got closer and closer. It didn’t affect me as much as him, but I can see why he said that.
- We weighed the kittens this week and Apollo is 5.72 pounds and Starbuck is 4.84. They’re growing so fast! Sad face! Will they be as adorable when they are full grown?!

I love that artwork of Data, especially the one with the tie!
Thanks! I love that one too, especially since he modeled it on his retro yellow tie, ha!
Yes, yes they will.
Lovvvve the Data art!
Phew, I hope so. I wish they could be small FOREVER!!!!
Thanks! Me too!
I love the artwork! What a great way to remember to how cute and silly Data was <3
I'm going to have to look for this book!
Thanks! I love that he captured that!
Let me know if you read it. I need to talk to someone about it!
That artwork is so, so perfect. I’m so glad you have that to remember him by. <3
WHAT HAPPENED ON PAGE 321?!?!
Thank you, me too!
I will tell you in email 🙂
Oh wow! That cartoon is so cool!! How awesome that you got that done! I especially love the one of him in his tie – so classy.
Thanks! I really like that one too 🙂
Wow! I love the artwork of Data! How cool is that? I love where he is thinking about popcorn 🙂
And now you’ve got me even more intrigued about that book – I am planning to get it from the library when I go next week…
I love that one too! That was so him. Ha.
Yes! Get it. I need someone else to tell me what they think.
I adore the Data picture – it captures him perfectly!
The kitties sleeping together are so sweet. Our last two really didn’t do that and I think they missed out. #stubborn
Thanks!
I think they were missing out too! They could have gotten so warm together!
What a wonderful way to remember Data – not that you don’t have wonderful memories of him, but that’s just terrific.
And your kittens are so adorable! Do you think they do it on purpose?
Thanks! And I know what you mean – I just like having little things like this.
Thanks! 🙂 I like to think they do. Ha.
I love the Data pictures (clip art)? That was a great idea to commission Nathan for something that’s personalized and will bring you a lot of joy to look at.
Do you have an idea of how much the “kittens” will be at their full weight? I don’t have a good idea of what a average cat weighs.
Thanks! It does! We hung it up this weekend and I love seeing it!
Average cat weights are all over the place depending on their build! Judging by how petite their mom is, I would guess they’d be around 10 pounds! We’ll see! We really don’t want them to be overweight.
Yay for bigger shoulders! I sometimes hesitate to run on some roads in the winter months because they are dark and have less shoulder. I hate being in the ditch if a car gets too close.
Also that book sounds good. Similar to Illuminae by Amie Kaufman.
Oh yeah. It’s so hard in the winter! 🙁 I have to stick to my boring short routes (and run them over and over). Do you have some of those boring short routes?
I will have to look up Illuminae!
