There is this little white dog I see on my frequent walks/bike rides in Oakland. He always sits in the window on the back of a sofa, watching people pass. Every time I would walk or bike past this house, I would notice a white dog lounging in the window, regardless of the time of day. I always thought, "That is the laziest damn dog I have ever seen." One day I was walking home from school, in a rotten mood, and out of habit I looked for him when I passed the window. He wasn't there. Somehow it made my day a little worse.
So anyway, I had kind of forgotten about that little white dog dog until several days ago when I walked past the house and saw him missing again. I felt a little sad, but as I looked in the window a little dog head poked up from the sofa. And then a second one. And then a third one. It kind of baffled me. The thought had never crossed my mind. The reason there is always a little white dog in the window isn't because the dog is lazy. It's because there are three of him, and there is always one of them taking the time to relax on the couch.
I'm a little jealous.

Two good things and a bad thing
Today two nice things and one awful thing happened.
Nice things first: I adopted a cat!! He is two and a half months (or 10 weeks, I always hate when people say ages in weeks, it throws me) and he's a little black kitty. The other nice thing was I snuggled with a sweet boy. Is it wrong if I'm excited to be able use my cat as an excuse if things don't go well with said boy? Well, for future reference, if I need to leave a party early, or escape a date, it is because of my cat. He needs me. He needs me.
The bad thing that happened is car-related. On the way home from adopting my lovely (black) kitten my car stopped. In the middle of the intersection at 51st and Telegraph. I jumped out and pushed it... sucks. We'll see what happens with that. Ideally, I will wake up in the morning and it will be better. I'm hoping for that. And I'm snuggling with a kitten tonight. I think I'm doing ok.
