Hello and happy Friday, friends! We're ready for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, and we'd love for you to join us. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two fill-in statements, and I came up with the second two.
1. I will never eat _________ again.
2. I would like a taste of _________.
3. I'm oddly fascinated by _________.
4. It would probably be wise if I _________, but I instead _________.
My answers are below in bold.
My answers are below in bold.
1. I will never eat sushi again.
(I know a lot of people love sushi, but I've only had it once, and I did not like it one bit. Sushi has never appealed to me, but the one time I had it was in high school, when the mom of one of my friends made us what she said was authentic sushi. I didn't want to hurt my friend's or her mom's feelings, so I ate some sushi. I hated it. I don't remember liking the taste very well, but even more so, the texture was so weird and confusing to me and my mouth. I'm also pretty sure this friend's mom made the raw fish variety of sushi, and that just about did me in.)

2. I would like a taste of authentic Italian food.
(I love Italian food. As in, I love the American concept of Italian food. I'd love to try truly authentic Italian food so that I know if I actually love Italian food, or if I'm just a fan of the Americanized version. I'm not much of a traveler and so have no plans of going to Italy, so I may never know. But, perhaps someday I'll stumble upon a genuinely authentic Italian restaurant and be able to give it a try.)
3. I'm oddly fascinated by weird and macabre things.
(For anyone who's been around on our blog for a while, this is probably not news to you. I love creepy and kooky things, which is probably why Halloween is tied as my favorite holiday. I have two full-size human skeletons I keep out in my house year round. Don't worry, they're fake, at least for now. I also have lots of raven and general Edgar Allan Poe-esque decor in my home. And what I refer to as my art desk is decorated in all sorts of weirdness, like skulls, skeletal hands and other bony body parts, potion bottles, old and creepy books, and so on and so forth. It all inspires me and makes me happy.)

4. It would probably be wise if I closed my bedroom window blinds at night, but I instead leave them open for Eddy.
(I believe it's common practice to close blinds and curtains at night. After all, people are like fish in a bowl in their own homes when it's dark outside. That's what my mom always says, anyway. The main window in my room, though, always has its blinds open. After all, this window is by Eddy's favorite cat tree, and Eddy enjoys watching wildlife during both the day and night. When I used to try to close those blinds at night, Eddy abused the living daylights out of them. I finally gave up and just said, fine, the blinds stay open. I will say, though I live in a single-story home, my bedroom is in a part of the house that is raised a bit excessively off the ground. That means unless someone is freakishly tall, they can't see into my bedroom from outside the window, so all is well.)

And now it's time for the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop, hosted by none other than Melissa and Mudpie of Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries, & Meows.
Today, blooper queen Eddy is sharing some outtakes that are flashbacks from a couple of years ago. They're a segue into the Halloween season, which is fitting enough, since this weekend I'm hoping to do some of this year's spooky photo shoots with my kitties. Today's flashback bloopers feature Eddy's blurry bum, as well as a kooky feline friend that hangs out around our house all year long.
Eddy and all of us here wish you a fun and freaky Friday!

Flashback Doodle of the DayToday we have yet another flashback doodle, this one all about that transition into autumn and the Halloween season.
This weekend, I hope to work on some new Halloween doodles. It was initially my plan to share a new Halloween doodle every day in October, or at least close to it. I actually succeeded in that last year. Since losing Astrid a couple weeks ago, though, followed by Evan's severe cystitis flare, I lost a lot of my inspiration and have not yet finished a single one of my planned Halloween doodles for this year.
Over the past couple of days, though, I finally started to feel that spark again. I have many Halloween drawings I'd love to complete, including a couple in honor of my sweet angel Astrid. I also have plans to create some for all of my other angels, and for my kitties who still bless me with their company on this earth. At this point I'm just rambling, but I am glad to finally feel some artistic inspiration again. All of my angels play a part in that, and I will be keeping their memories alive in my art. That includes this year's Halloween doodles.
