China 1994-2007

November 20, 2007 D. H. McKee

My poor little cat never recovered from her pancreatitis. She died at the vet’s last night, around 11:00pm. They were just about to perform exploratory surgery to try to figure out why she wasn’t recovering, but she didn’t last the night.
The vet’s going to do an autopsy to figure out where it all went wrong. China recovered for a day, relapsed, then held stable for the rest of the week.
We’re trying to figure out if we want to get another cat right away, or to wait for a couple of months. Athena’s pretty much caught on that China’s gone for good.

I’m so sorry about China! I lost my cat recently too, so if you want to talk, feel free to e-mail me.
I’m very sorry about your cat.

Brings back sad memories of when my cat “Princess” passed a few years back–condolences.

I was so sad when my cat passed away. Our thoughts are with you both.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
