bachelors in fur

worked some overtime the past two nights at work...they offered more next week but i didn't sign up for any on the promise to myself that i'll use that time to WRITE instead...now maybe i'll have some goddamned motivation (i.e. if i don't then i threw money away! i'm so lazy...i need goddamned motivation...) yesterday in the afternoon i had some cafe samovar for Amber's birthday with her and Jacques and Monika and it was good...their lunch menu's completely different than dinner...affordable, though i had gotten excited over the semi-unaffordable amazing-sounding dishes on their dinner menu...maybe some other time...then last night was Paul's bachelor's party...it was pretty cool...i drove Jacques and Josh out to Evan's place and we got chinese and pizza and played multiplayer computer games...nerdy and fun! then i woke up early today 'cuz i couldn't breathe...then i made myself breathe but i couldn't get back to sleep...oh well...that reminds me of how i woke up yesterday...(though i did get back to sleep then...) there was some strange goddamned sound that kept repeating...sounded like those children's toys that make bad, tinny animal noises...like some weird bird sound coming out of an itty-bitty speaker...(like maybe somewhere between a squawk and a growl...it was just the oddest sound and i was half-asleep too...) it just kept repeating and there would be this weird clicking-ish sound between the main noise...i thought maybe it was from in my room but couldn't think of anyting that would produce such a sound i finally look out the window and see this cat on the porch so i thought for a second oh this cat's in heat...but the sound kept repeating and the cat just sat there and i figured it wasn't a ventriloquist so i went outside and shooed it then looked up and saw a squirrel on the upstairs window ledge just sitting there making this goddamned noise repeatedly...at the same rate and same tone...it was the weirdest thing...i've never heard a squirrel vocalize before...i couldn't think of a way to shoo it off so i went back to sleep...i think it got tired anyway...i'm still not sure what the hell it was making this noise for...it wasn't terribly loud, just near me...oh yeah, speaking of animals...Evan and Robin's dog (Loki? i don't know if i'm spelling it right...) is like one of the coolest dogs ever! it's a minature dachshund, but really friendly...(we became best friends...) and it has the tiniest paws and legs...that's all...
