Well, a bunch of stuff has happened lately, but lets start with just today. My plans of a nice, relaxing sleep after taking Sillz around Vancouver last night were foiled by a call from Iambe (who is forgiven) and then a call from outside from roomiewife of “alan get out here!”. The stray cat (mentioned earlier) was out there again and it’s eye was looking really bad. So I figured why not and took it inside, called and made an appointment for the vet, and with the help of Iambe, wandered out to the hospital. The cat was mondo-mellow. Amazingly so. Hell, at one point it was sleeping at my feet in the car! Anyway, $100, some shots and eyedrops later and I’ve adopted “Rex”. Now the cat is sleeping in the chair (the significance to this being there is a party going on here right now (roomie’s birthday)) and Corny is …. uhmm… somewhere else. Probably hiding under the bed. They get along quite well, some hissing and play fighting (well, Rex chasing Corny anyway) but other than that no real aggression. So now I’m going to wait for roomie and his friends to go to the strip club so I can veg in front of the TV, find Corny, and relax a little.
In between now and the vet, Iambe came over and we vegged a little and watched The Professional. I love the movie, she loved it to, but it played with her mind š Just as the movie was finishing roomiewife and a friend came in and we talked for a while. I never realized before how different my world and theirs was. I spend time with a friend and a great movie, watching it with an intellectual eye, and then we talk to the “other world” and we talk about people beating each other up with baseball bats and shovels. Hmm…..
