STOP WHAT YOURE DOING here’s my cat

Fluffy ragdoll cat Nibbler sitting in a 1AD small-medium Amazon cardboard box. He has one elbow propped up on the edge and he’s looking off into the side distance with an air of wistful regret like a surly trucker who’s seen too much and loved too little.

There are seven differences between these two pictures. ♥ Like when you've found 3. 🔁 Repost when you've found all 7. #SpotTheDifference #1

Star Trek TNG episode "Qpid". Exterior, forest path. Picard and crew are dressed as Robin Hood characters. Dr. Crusher has a sword and an unadorned hat. Worf's bandage has blood on it. There's an empty dirt path between Worf and Troi. Behind Troi there are three pale trees in a fork shape. Data has a full head of hair, and a rope belt dangles from his monk robe waist.

When Bashir told Garak about the boy who cried wolf.

The chopper meme, with the characters replaced with Garak and Bashir from Deep Space Nine.

Panel 1: Garak as the chopper dad, saying "WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE GRAPHIC FOR CHILDREN, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?".

Panel 2: Bashir as chopper son, saying "BUT THE POINT IS, IF YOU LIE ALL THE TIME, NOBODY'S GOING TO BELIEVE YOU, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH".

Panel 3: Garak still seated as chopper dad, saying "ARE YOU SURE THAT'S THE POINT, DOCTOR?".

Panel 4: Wide shot of both characters. Chopper dad Garak is standing, looking surprised in the left background. Chopper son Bashir is swinging a chair in anger, saying "OF COURSE. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?"

Panel 5: chopper dad Garak standing and pointing, saying "THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER TELL THE SAME LIE TWICE"

Lost isn't a comedy but once in a while it makes me burst out laughing

Scene from Lost. John Locke is with Ben Linus in a house. Ben is in a wheelchair, John is standing behind him.
John: "Where do you get electricity?"

When my alarm went off, the first thing I saw was Nibbler staring at me from the cat tree like I’m on stage at a comedy club and he’s paid good money to hear me say something funny.

Fluffy ragdoll cat staring at camera from on top of a cat tree. Behind him on the wall we see part of a framed poster of Back to the Future.

apparently we’re posting our cats in boxes

Ragdoll cat sitting in small open cardboard box, with one elbow propped on the edge, looking disappointedly into the distance

Same cat, same box, same pose, except now his expression is absolute shocked horror at something in the distance

Douglas Adams' General Note to Self transcription in alt text source: www.theguardian.com/books/2021/m...

Handwritten note on pile of paper:

GENERAL NOTE TO MYSELF

Writing isn’t so bad really when you get through the worry. Forget about the worry, just press on. Don’t be embarrassed about the bad bits. Don’t strain at them. Give yourself time you can come back and do it again in the light of what you discover about the story later on. It's better to have pages and pages of material to work with and off and maybe find an unexpected shape in that you can then craft and put to good use, rather than one manically reworked paragraph or sentence.

But writing can be good. You attack it, don’t let it attack you. You can get pleasure out of it. You can certainly do very well for yourself with it…!
