New Cat: Minerva

We picked up the new cat from the vet’s place last week, still recovering from a spaying operation. We kept her isolated for only a day, and Athena appeared to be getting used to having another cat around (apparently, Athena has a thing for cats that look like her). And boy, do they ever look similar. With the exception of the tufts of white fur, Minerva looks a lot like a younger Athena.

We didn’t need to be too concerned by letting her out early. Athena didn’t attack her once, but did show a lot of jealousy when in our presence. She did this stare-off whenever the new cat got too close.

However, later, we found them in bed together, twice. Apparently, as long as there’s a little distance between them, everything’s cool.

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.
