WOMAN! WHY IN TANTALUS'S TORMENTED HELL WILL YOU NOT KEEP YOUR DAMN CAT INDOORS?

Two out of three mornings this week Shadow, who has been renamed to Dumbshit, has followed me. Today he followed me almost the full quarter of a mile home. I am now calling him Dumbshit because I was walking in the street. Where there were cars. And dogs.

Oh, and apparently? She's also accused the owner of another gray cat in the area of stealing her cat. No, sorry lady, that man has more than two brain cells to rub together. He keeps his cat indoors. You, my dear, do not have the native intelligence of a tree frog. If your cat turns into street pizza I am going to leave him on your fucking front porch.

All that said, I emailed the adoption agency I got my cats from. Since our cats, hers and mine, have similar microchip numbers with hers being later in the sequence, I'm hoping she adopted hers at the same place and they have that record on file. Maybe she can get smacked with a breach of contract, since I know those adoption contracts state that these are to be indoor cats.

Fucking idiot woman.

Comfort Music

The children of the summer's end
Gathered in the dampened grass
We played our songs and felt the London skies
Resting on our hands, it was God's land
It was ragged and naive
It was heaven
We touched the very soul
Of holding each and every life
We claimed the very source of joy ran through
It didn't but it seemed that way
I kissed a lot of people that day
David Bowie
Memory of the Free Festival

They say your life is going very well
They say you sparkle like a different girl
But something tells me that you hide
When all the world is warm and tired
You cry a little in the dark
Well, so do I
David Bowie
Letter to Hermione

Do you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know it's mine

German! Again. Because somewhere along the line I fell off the wagon. Now with 50% more concentration and 200% more fandom, because I think I work better when I use examples that get more stuck in my head. Like fandom.

Was suchen Sie? Think of three things you need to buy. Examples.

Was suchst du?
Ich brauche Pumpernickel und Schwarzbrot. Gibt es hier eine Bäckerei?
Ich brauche eine Ringbuchen. Gibt es hier ein Schreibwarengeschäft?
Ich brauche ein Trainingsanzung. Gibt es hier ein Sportsgeschäft?
Ich brauche Schweinfleisch für Tony Bourdain. Gibt es hier eine Metzgerei?
Ich brauche Spaghetti und Aspirin. Gibt es hier eine Supermarkt?

Geh doch. Your friend needs some things. Tell him or her to go to the store that sells them.

Ich brauche Brot für Morgen.
-- Geh doch in zum Bäcker.
Ich brauche Tomaten und Gewürze für Spaghetti.
-- Geh doch in den Supermarkt.
Ich brauche ein Buch über Linguistik.
-- Geh doch in die Buchhandlung.


Aaand I am out of things I need to buy. Or something. let's see if I can retain more of this this time.
