Mangy stray kitten is still here in the back yard. He's hiding under the diving board where it's shady. I called up the two closest animal shelters and they said they were both full so now, besides giving him a rug to sleep on and bowls of milk and water, I don't know what to do with this cat. Another 2 days and he'll be a corpse.
If you feel the animal has developed a fever from the mange and may die, let me know and I will pay for the treatment if you can keep an eye on the little bugger until he's better.
The vet's not open tomorrow for the 4th but I'm calling other shelters. If those are full, I'll call animal control and the SPCA and see what they have to say. The kitten doesn't have a fever but he is half-starved and probably needs to see a vet and get a bath.
You know, now that I think about it, I think I know where this came from.
She came by the other day and was in a super pissy mood but didn't act on it. I think she noticed that
1> I have a new 50' LCD TV
2> I have several new guitars
3> I have several new guitar amps
4> I've had time and money to bust my ass in the gym
5> I have a new iPhone
I dunno. Maybe seeing that brought up the shit she had to say today. Only thing I can think of. Caveats, though. Gym is cheap, room mate bought the LCD on his credit card, new amps given to me by a friend who was sent off to rehab, and iPhone was given to me by work.
But I can see how it may reinforce a certain impression.

vari we were talking about the pros and cons of becoming a beautiful lady
it does have the disadvantage of the risk of being raped
and fearing being raped
and getting sexually harrassed and assaulted in hurtful ways - and fearing that
the fear is what I can visualize the best
I can see what it would take out of my life
like I walked around a desolate park in the middle of the night yesterday. And I walked all over town. The worst thing I can think of happening to me, is a drunk guy getting aggressive with me, and that ain't really scary. I can handle that so nothing comes of it, most likely. And if not, I've broken bones before. Ain't no thang.
I don't want to walk around with fear.
and if I'm at a party, with basically no-one I know, that's either awesome if they're awesome, or usually amusing and hilarious if they're really not my kind of people - but at the very least, interesting in a drunk people-watching way.
The worst I have to fear at a stranger's house is their shitty taste in music and them being boring.
I don't want to fear strangers because I don't trust them to behave like men 'round a lady.
I guess that's a reasonable response to talking about wanting to be a beautiful man or woman
There's a whole spectrum of unwanted sexual attention. At one end, you have subtle flirting or people asking you politely if you'd like to go out; at the other end you have felonies like kidnapping and the r-word. And in between you have everything from stalkers to to sexual harassment to random people grabbing you or trying to pull your pants down in public.
I mean, I like polite appreciation, even when it's from people I don't really find attractive. That's great, when they tell me nicely and then bow out gracefully when I establish lack of interest. That kind of attention is flattering.
Robos said "Scumbag dudes would make the experience way uncomfortable for you," and, to me, that doesn't just mean catcalls or pervy pick up lines, that also means people touching you and violating your privacy in all sorts of unexpected ways.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Day Z antics: Me and my three buddies looted Stary Sobor. Then we headed west to loot the deer stands there.
We hear a car just as we reach a deer stand. It runs over one buddy, killing him. Two guys step out and open fire. I nail one of them, but they kill the rest of us.
C'est la vie.
Kind of a funny-stupid way to end the evening; two minutes earlier we decided to log off, but one guy wanted to check the nearby deer stand first.
I'm very un-hip in my choice of cigarette and smoke lucky strike red.
I always thought that if you smoked lucky strikes and weren't a soldier from the 40s you were probably a hipster. I'm not a big fan of unfiltered cigarettes, and Lucky Strikes tend to also be more expensive than most other cigarette brands here.
I thought the reds were the only ones that existed, I guess the blues are light? Unfiltered light cigarette seems silly to me.
They're filtered, here, but I don't think you can buy unfiltered. Which is silly, since rolling your own is so common.
And the soldier from the 40s thing is exactly why I smoke 'em - when me and a mate bought a pack for the first time he chose lucky strikes because the soldiers got them for d-day. He's studying to become a history teacher.
Lucky strikes are popular here. Luckies, followed by marlboro for men and prince for ladies, followed by prince for men and marlboro for ladies would be the order of the three most popular cigarettes here, just going with what I see
and the blue luckies thing is the polyester flavour - but they might be a "light" variant, I wouldn't know because "light" and "mild" etc are illegal as names for 'em. Which is also kinda pointless as everyone calls a prince light a prince light.
Oh and basically every pack of cigarettes cost exactly the same ova here.
Interesting. Here luckies are pretty uncommon, and I think I've only ever had the unfiltered type so I assumed that's all they made. Cigarette prices vary pretty significantly, although not as much now that pretty much all of them are stupidly expensive. They also made it illegal to call them light and stuff here a couple years ago, but most people still call them that, they just usually go by color now, so marlboro lights are just called marlboro golds. Although the reds were pretty much always called reds. Never heard of Prince either, but I used to work at a little convenience sotre and half of what I did was sell cigarettes so I got to pick up on trends with regard to cigarettes and different demographics. The majority of people just smoked marlboro lights/golds though.
Prince is a norwegian brand. I worked at a gas station and I sold more cigarettes than gas, but I can't for the life of me remember what name is printed on marlboro lights or prince mild
also, people are so stereotypical in their smoking habits, I knew their exact order before they said it two times out of three
middle aged woman? "20 prince mild" - with the chance of menthol cigarettes going up as the amount of money put into their clothes went up
young women, marlboro light
young to middle aged man luckies or marlboro
middle aged to old man - marlboro or petterøes
middle aged to old man in a dirty work outfit consisting of flannel shirt and jeans - Red 3 loose tobacco and/or rizla paper. and unless they had a red 3 in their chest pocket, they would buy both. Every time.
Abdhy: yeah, that's pretty much what I was saying, sorry if I came across bitchy.
nah I sort of closed my eyes to the larger conversation and felt like it was a silly response to what I was saying but there was more going on
saying "I'd love to be a really pretty lady" and getting hit with 'yeah until you get raped' just seemed out of left field but it's not actually what happened. and maybe it's not that out of left field I guess, maybe it's more necessary or appropriate than I think.

i'm always surprised to learn that she is not in fact a roaring cat thing with laser red eyes
Feet would probably lead to less sex than a few inches.

I actually dictate to my friend, Foggy (real name Franklin)
We sold so few camels that I started wondering if there was an expiration date.
Also don't worry it won't kill you now
you'll die of a heart attack in your 50's
I hear the sex is pretty painful tho.

1. The queue is holy. Respect the queue.
2. Absolutely no skipping in the middle of a song.
3. Adding like fifty songs at a time to the queue is disrespecting the queue.
4. Switching the queue order is disrespecting the queue.
and then six more
huh? Oh, nah man, you weren't bitchy. I was just too busy saying the same stuff as you to listen
