cat

Friends with Danish subtitles

/ København
The apartment where I will be cat-sitting for the next few days is fabulous, too fabulous, such that now that the owner has left me and it for Paris, instead of exiting into greater Denmark I am hanging out, eating whatever meal-like arrangements I can make from the contents of her larder and being soothed by the Scandinavian design and unimpeachable blondness in every one of the portraits and watching “Friends” with Danish subtitles, trying to pick up a pronoun or two.

this idiot cat

/ Berlin
Last night I got back to the borrowed flat and found this idiot cat that used to live in said flat and thinks it still does waiting for me on the borrowed bed where I’m sleeping; later, retiring, I found that said cat had peed on said bed, like, with authority, and volume.
I spent much of the night not sleeping but disassembling and washing, and when I got up to resume that work this morning, the same cat was waiting for me in the living room in spite of having been thrown thoroughly out.
Now I have posted signs on all the points of feline ingress I can divine reading MIKE IF YOU COME IN HERE AGAIN I WILL DROWN YOU and the same again, just in case, in German.

pregnant with existential import

/ Chefchaouen

I said,

Everything feels so pregnant with existential import

Like I just had an avocado smoothie and it was totally meaningful

The kitten with bad manners that I battled over breakfast yesterday is totally an allegory for something

And when these sneaks I’m wearing wear out it will be so poignant

AS IS the fact that they haven’t yet
