my friend the random cat

After watching Being John Malkovich alone tonight I realized that was a mistake; it was for some reason pretty disturbing this time & I wished some people were around so I could, you know, right myself.

There was this cat randomly meowing outside our apartment complex. I let him in & we ended up hanging out together. I played piano for him. He ate my shoelaces. Etcetera. I want a cat.

do it yourself carsledding

To make this homemade car sled, you will need

  1. a backseat shelf from a 1991 Ford Probe
  2. two (2) ethernet cables, 8-12 ft. long
  3. a roll of storm window plastic to make the underside slick
  4. copious amounts of duct tape

Here I am, living proof that fun can be had, lo, even beneath the nightmare sulfur glow of a Lincoln Nebraska winter evening. External temperature: 4 degrees.
