bethb's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a cat mugging so, last night was perfect. as i was leaving work, it was a full moon. big and low and glorious and wheat colored. and then i went to the safeway on the way home and bought lasagna and a gerber daisy plant. and i don't know why, but the cashiers at this particular safeway are always nice and i always leave there in the best mood. and i ate lasagna and then went to the black cat to see the shipping news (jaw dropping, heel-rocking goodness) and david grubbs in all of his spidery guitar playing greatness, and played the new(ish) pinball machine. thank god they got rid of that stupid whirlwind. i hated that pinball game. i was so figitty last night 'tho. between bands i was aimlessly wandering around, playing pin ball. lil'miss fidget. david grubbs was amazing. the whole time, a line from smart went crazy is going through my head "it's complicated, cause you don't have the guts to keep it simple", where this man had found the perfect balance. except for his final song, where he hit play on his mini-disc and walked off stage, prompting Ms.J to come up with the theory it was a psychology experiment to see how long these kids would gawk at an empty stage with him drinking water behind a speaker. and on the way home, i was driving down 4th st, and i see this lump in the road, and it's kinda moving, but not really, and i think it might be a plastic bag, because as i drive towards it, it's not running like an animal would do. so i reach it and it's these two cats. there's a grey tabby, probably 7-8 months, and it is *standing* (i can't emphasise that enough. they were not fucking. he had the other cat pined. there was no love in this....um....grappling hold)on the other cat's back, with the scruff of the black cat (that's the one on the bottom) in his teeth. so they're in the middle of the road, and i drive right up to them, figuring they'll move. nope. so i flash my lights, honk my horn, nothing. i finally get out of my car and run at them yelling "kittes! be friends! Kitties be friends!". and they scurry away, and i drive slowly away to see where they are, and they're at it again on the sidewalk! i'm pretty sure i witnessed a cat mugging. yeah. 14:12:47 - 2001-02-08 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
