birthday contemplation
this is what happens when you accidentally give your date of birth to a web site registration thingy.
All of us at eHarmony want to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We think it is important, on your special day, to reach out and tell you how proud we are to be involved with you. It's exciting to contemplate the strong likelihood that in the coming months you'll have even more love and companionship to celebrate.
Thanks for being a part of eHarmony and for taking so many positive steps toward finding your soul mate. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at usersupport@eHarmony.com.
In the meantime, I hope this birthday is your best one yet. i don't remember joining eharmony. i'm not in search of a soul mate. i think i must have done it for the free personality profile. hmmm...
at any rate, "it's exciting to contemplate the strong likelihood that in the coming months" i will be more careful with my personal information.

window shopping for shut-in's
i'm not a shopper. i'm really not a shopper. if i need something, i just go get it. i don't like to poke around (unless it's a hardware or building supplies store, but they don't count, oh, and housewares.) but i've stumbled across something. well, i didn't stumble. it's something we've all known about for a long time, but i never bothered with because i'm not a shopper.
i'm embarrassed, really embarrassed, becasue recently more than half of my online time has been spent perusing (egad!) ebay.
i just caught myself checkin' out utility lamps and dr. seuss figurines (they can get pricey!). it's a crazy new obsession. i'm seriously watching the basball card auction.
that sickness, what is it called? shopaholic? i fear it. do not let me become one.

fur fur purr face fury
my cat is gonna have the big one. she's been freakin' out and stressin' for days! i fear her heart may burst.
i'm livin' large in a new pad. it's really great. i have floor to ceiling windows in the back room with a door leading to a patio. the view isn't much, but who cares, i've got victorian charm going on in here.
yes, i have floor to (well, nearly to) ceiling windows. it's lovely. my cats get to watch the outside world go by without having to rise to a window sill. and the neighbourhood strays and out-doorsy types get to saunter past and watch the world inside.
well, let me correct that, the outdoor cats don't saunter past, they plunk their asses in front of the window and stare.
i always thought my fur fur purr face was the cutest cuddly wuddly ever. true, she's caught a mouse or two, but she never hurt them. in fact, she let me remove them from her jaws and release them. there are not many cats willing embrace a catch and release program with the common household mouse. no sir, my kitty is a sweetie.
my fur fur purr face also embraces the laps of all those who visit. she sleeps on my belly every night. she eventually learned to live with dogs. once, i even witnessed her cozily sleeping very close to one. my kitty is a lover not a fighter.
my kitty, ahh my kitty.
however, i have discovered that when it comes to the cats outside the window, my kitty could be a killer.
my kitty a killer. it is such a shock.
picture it: an outdoor feline, perhaps the neighbour's siamese, plunks in front of my window lazily viewing the accommodations of the cats next door. my kitty, my fur fur purr face, runs to the window and begins a mad fit of spitting and hissing and howling. it's a vicious growling sort of howling, guttural. it scares me. and then she leaps. she jumps at the cat outside, banging on the window with her front paws like a boxer punching a bag - rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat. she does it so hard i believe the window may break. the siamese from next door follows in kind. i watch as the two cats box. they hiss. they snarl. they growl. i expect shards of glass to pierce their eyeballs any second.
and my fur fur purr face will not relent.
she will not relent.
it goes on for minutes. i cover the window. she tears the covering down. i fearfully pick her up and remove her. she squirms from my arms, jumping and leaping at the window with more fervour. i open the door to shoo the other cat away. it is not a good idea. and....so it continues.
for a long time.
the siamese from next door walks away, eventually, limping. my fur fur purr face sits, breathing heavy, hair still standing on end.
my cat is gonna have the big one.

dirty dishes for one
purplelady likes joni mitchell, and i do too, though i don't jump to slid it into the cd player. the last time i cleaned the apartment i was spinnin' steve earle. purple walked in and turned it off. oh well, i had my country rock moment.
that was a few days ago. a few days ago...
a few days ago we were livin' it up together. damn i love her. but today she had to go. not for good. we're still together, just apart.
so, now it's time to clean the apartment again. i need a few good tunes. i hit play on the machine, expecting some "good ol boy" music.
huh
i suppose i can wash the dishes with joni.

the explanation: nothing fancy in the verse
for the past few months my life has been like a car rolling end over end down a cliff. amazingly, when it finally found it's resting spot, it did not blow up, and the only side effect is that i felt a little dizzy. i still do, so bear with me.
there was a hurricane. it destroyed my apartment and computer. i had a girlfriend en route to live with me (with her dogs), but i had no home to put them in. we stayed in a hotel. we found temporary lodging in the country while repairs commenced on the apartment. the landlords then proceeded to tell me that there was going to be a rent hike to pay for the work. then they told me, "now that it's all renovated, we don't want you back because you have cats." the temporary lodging lease was coming to an end. i was once again homeless. i had to find a new apartment (in the middle of winter) for me, my purplelady, three cats and two dogs -- on a budget.
those landlords are asses, considering legal action...
there is more. but i will spare you the details.
anyway, i am reasonably settled now. there is still unpacking to do. i will slowly start to re-introduce myself to writing. the language synapses in my brain are beginning to hurt already.
later.
