International Animation Day: Seven Animation Worlds

Image

One heroine. Seven animation worlds. One black cat with sticky fingers. 🐈‍

The styles keep changing, but this little thief always knows what he wants.

 

Seven Worlds. One Unfinished Heist.

A blonde heroine and a mischievous black cat chase a piece of gum through seven animation styles, from vintage cartoons to modern 3D CGI and voxel games.
She had one little piece of gum. Now she’s trapped in a video game. Typical Monday. 🎮

From classic hand-drawn cartoons to stop-motion, fantasy, anime, CGI, and blocky game worlds, one thing remains suspiciously consistent: the cat has his eyes on the gum. Some heroes save the day. Others just try to keep their snacks.

Happy International Animation Day! 🎬

So which animation world gets your vote? And would you trust that cat with your chewing gum? 😏

 

October 28 is International Animation Day, celebrating the art of animation and commemorating Émile Reynaud’s public Théâtre Optique presentation in Paris in 1892.

Boss’s Day in our kitchen means one boss, four eager assistants, a little CREAM, and a lot of questionable quality control. 😈

World Mental Health Day: It’s OK Not to Be Fine

October 10 is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that you don’t always have to be fine.

 

Sometimes the hardest kind of exhaustion isn’t physical. It’s the feeling that your mind is tired, your motivation is gone, and even simple things start to feel heavy.

Taking a break doesn’t mean giving up. Talking doesn’t make you weak. Resting doesn’t mean you’re falling behind.

So take a breath. Slow down. Talk to someone you trust. Give your mind some time to reload.

You’re still strong. 🖤

 

You can learn more about this Day, its history and purpose on the official World Federation for Mental Health website.

 

 

I Do Blow Jobs for Neighbours

Some jobs are better with a little extra motivation. 😏

Some neighbourhood services are definitely more memorable than others. 😏

Autumn brings leaves, noise and plenty of reasons to avoid doing the yard work yourself. Luckily, there always seems to be someone willing to help.

Just make sure you agree on the price before the job starts. 😉
