cats. who knew that the old addage 'curiousity killed the cat' (coined by maestro fresh wes, i believe) was so true. i woke up last night to one of the cats jumping at the window in our bedroom. i couldn't figure out what she was doing until i looked out and saw the bats flying around and making noise. it's great, because now we can't sleep with the bedroom window open, or in her thirst for bat blood, she'll kill herself falling 6 stories. That's one thing learned about cats. The other thing I learned about cats today was that they are not to be trusted with the bathroom door slightly ajar while i'm peeing. They've grown curious to running water. To them, pee is like running water. When they hear it, apparently they run for it. Our littlest cat got a wet head today.
In true buenos aires fashion, i went to a cafe last night to read. it's what they do. they go to cafes alone, and read. nothing big. nothing exciting....save for last night. i was just getting into the first chapter of dorian grey when this lady came in, accompanied by 3 or 4 concerned men. she was crying hysterically, and from what i could make out in between sobs, her daughter had just gone missing. they were all trying to comfort her, etc, and tell her it would be alright...but frick..when i looked outside, all i saw was a sea of people. the girl was 8 years old. they brought in the police etc, and it was a big deal. before i could offer to help, the lady was taken out and put into a taxi...who knows why-to go search for the girl in a car? to see if she went home? it has to be the most helpless feeling in the world and i only hope that everything turns out alright for the family.
eating cereal around other people is the most heinous eating experience possible. first of all, if you're eating cereal, you're probably not at your best, sleep in your eyes, pillow wrinkles, etc. not nice to look at. then comes the difficulty of transporting the cereal and milk from the spoon to the mouth. apparently this is quite a feat in the mornings for most people. inevitably, people end up slobbering milk down their chins. not just once, but several times during the cerealing. come on...how hard is it? a litte coordination, a little less milk and cereal on the spoon, a wider mouth, more insertion...
apparently in Kenya today, they faked a jet crash in order to simulate the real experience. they lied to people at the airport, and to the press-- all in the name of simulation. great jokers, those kenyans....just ask the relatives waiting at the airport.'....i hated how she always emptied the styrofoam cup before throwing it away.' --just a random character trait i thought of today.
