I Am Going To Miss This Weather

So, so very much.
I looked over my summer to do list - I kind of completed things this summer. I don’t know - I think I am feeling bummed about not creating enough work, but at the same time, it was such a lovely summer.

The weather is gorgeous in Ann Arbor right now, but fall is creeping in at the sides. I love the glory of fall too, but not the fucking freezing temperatures that it means. I took some panorama shots the other day while I rode my bicycle to the post office, so I have something to remind me in the depths of winter’s frozen asshole that summer existed, and I was there.

This is the view directly behind the top picture on Catherine St. There used to be this big-ass statue where the orange cones are in the picture - I guess it’s being renovated or something. On the left the shop with the green awning is the People’s Food Co-Op, a semi-socialist grocery store steeped in the bohemian that has, according to the local newspaper, decided to boycott all Israeli goods to protest Israeli treatment of Palestinian refugees. Or something. Regardless, earlier in the day there was one person holding a large, obnoxious sign to protest the boycott of Israeli goods and another person holding another large, obnoxious sign to protest against the protester for support of the boycott of Israeli goods. I think both were expecting reinforcements for their respective protests, but no one showed up save for the two of them, so they were just bitching each other out for a solid hour.
Ah, fucking Ann Arbor, how I love you sometimes.

On a completely different note, we have a FUCKING BLACK KITTEN living in our basement! This is perfect in at least ten-thousand ways for me. Not ONLY do I love black cats, but I was previously mourning introspectively that there would be no feasible way for me to adopt a cat of my own for at least two more years as I would be doing too much moving for a cat to handle - and lo and behold, Dave Who Lives In The Basement is the proud owner of a three month old, frisky female kitten named Bagheera.

So abso-fucking-lutely cute. I want you to be mine. And yes, I flipped my shit so much about this kitten that I came back downstairs and took pictures of it just so I could blog about it later. I have a problem. I know.
On a completely completely different note, my budd-ey Petarr is back from Japan Fantasy Land! Bask in the glory of his awkward pose.

I would like to draw your attention to Petarr’s finger stroking an imaginary air vagina. Oh, it’s there. I know.
I put it there.
