Mad Quickies: moon map, hot cockles, cartoon lips and more!
You guys- I went to Pilates class this past week and the instructor gently told me that my pants were on inside out. True story! Anyway, my pants are on correctly right now, we’re halfway to the weekend, I’m sipping a superior glass of iced tea and I’ve got a bunch of Quickies for you. Enjoy!

Bodega Cats In Their Own Words: Oliver of the Upper West Side
Bodega Cats is a whole web series. Read more about this at WNYC and at Laughing Squid.
from the page
There’s no cat quite like the New York City bodega cat—killer of rats, fixture of the detergent aisle, silent observer of the human condition. If only these cats could talk. Well, now they can. In this episode, Oliver talks about the luxuries of bodega life, and how one Upper West Side lady saved him from the streets of Yonkers.
