This was too cute! 12 Tips For A Cat-Safe Christmas by PetFlow. Now none of my cats over the years has ever tried to climb the tree. Play with the dangling bits, eat the silver strings, but not climbed it. For that, we had ferrets. Myaka brought the tree down many times. Crazy thing! Heh heh.

The First "47 Ronin" Photos With Keanu Reeves and Jin Akanishi from Crunchyroll.com.  Seems they've changed the story line of the 47 Ronin legend to include an Anglo. lol. I'll be there though. I'ma sucker for samurai stuff.

From the History Blog - Ancient Egyptian Leather Chariot Trappings Found. Quite cool really! Never realized they'd not had a mostly intact set before!

Richard Castle has published his very fist graphic novel -  Deadly Storm. Yes, from the fake author who's brought you the fun reads of Heat Wave, Naked Heat, and Heat Rises - Richard Castle is now getting into comics! lol. These guys kill me. Heck, just visit the website if for no other reason to read the synspsis of Richard Castle's non-existing other books and the synopsis on the website and covers. You have got to love these people! lol. 5 pages of non-existent books! 5!!!!

5 Reasons to Sign Up For A Writers Conference by Sarah Baughman. Some good points! And if you can't afford a fancy writers conference, there's always your fantasy and SF conventions. They have writers' tracks and some even have workshops. And they're a great place for networking as well. :)

My Social Media Survival Guide by Jenn Reese. Yes, YES! #3!!! Number 3!!!!! Lol.
