kate_nepveu: sleeping cat carved in brown wood (wood cat)
From: [personal profile] kate_nepveu
The wooden cat is a souvenir Chad brought back from Nikkô in 1998, a souvenir model of the famous sleeping on at Tôshô-gû, which you can see here : http://www.nikko-jp.org/english/toshogu/neko.html or in a bigger picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SleepingCatNikko.jpg

I don't know why it doesn't look much like the original.

Fast forward to October 2004, when I needed to familiarize myself with my work's digital camera, and so finally got around to taking pictures of knick-knacks and turning them into icons. (I posted them here: http://kate-nepveu.livejournal.com/73147.html , but took down a bunch since because I never used them.) I use the cat as a default because I thought if I were an animal, I'd be a small neat brown cat, and because using a picture of myself as a default seemed weird for reasons I can't really articulate.

(On our trip this year, we didn't bother seeing the cat, because they wanted you to pay extra. Trip report: http://kate-nepveu.livejournal.com/251887.html )

Tell me about--was it small and large infinities?
