Hello Everyone -

It’s been a very long while since I’ve posted anything here, and I apologize for that. I was away for about three weeks (two in Italy and one in Boston), but I’ve been back for another week now. I want to get back into the swing of blogging on this site, so this post is going to be about nothing, but will hopefully get the transcendentalist juices flowing again. You don’t have to read this, it probably won’t be interesting.

Once again, thank you to everyone at the Boston show. We had a great time doing it, and I hope you had a great time too, either watching it or helping out like so many did. It would be awesome to do a show there again, and we’re even talking about taking the show on the road more. The next show might even be in New Hampshire!

My job as a tutor is about to end, so that means I’m going to have to find another one. The process starts over. I’m trying to figure out how to really get paid for writing because what I’m doing now isn’t working so well. I am writing a lot more recently, which I feel really good about,but the question of course is the next step. I’ll keep you updated on what happens.

Also, I’m moving out of Brooklyn for a few months. I’ll be subletting Zeke’s room in the village. I’m excited to be there and very happy about moving out of my current place. Things were OK before but not great and the past few days they’ve been getting really weird and I can’t handle it. Stories for another time. I still haven’t explored my current neighborhood, but hopefully I’ll move back to the area after August. Living in Brooklyn is pretty nice.

So this just became an update on my life. Sorry about that, I’m sure most you don’t care. Next post will be a good one, I promise.

Anything else? The Lakers won the NBA finals. I usually like watching finals celebrations, but I turned this one off pretty quick. It was just really boring. I said to Stacey at the time that it felt like a bunch of guys who were just acting how they thought someone was supposed to act when the one the finals. It seemed really weird. The next day I read a Bill Simmons Article about the game and he said the exact same things I had said the night before. I knew I was right.

After living in my apartment for three months, today my roommate’s cat Ziggy finally got the courage to come into my room. Ziggy and I are friends. He likes how I scratch him. But, normally, Ziggy hangs out in the kitchen and living room, which is fine with me. Sometimes, when I come home and no ones around, I catch him prowling around my door, and when I make my self known, he jumps and sprints down the hall.

But today, as I was eating in my room, watching 30 rock on my computer, I hear loud mewing and see a black and white paw sticking under my door. This is a surprise, but Ziggy’s pretty cool. I open the door for him, tell him to come on in. It takes him a minute, but he ventures in, we hang out.

About two minutes later, Ziggy the cat walks over to a box I use for recycling paper and jumps in. Cats being cats, I think to myself. Adorable… Until I hear the sound of a stream of liquid. Ziggy urinated in my paper box. I’m not happy.

I immediately take the box to the garbage and throw it out. I guess he thought it was a litter-box.

I get back upstairs, do my dishes, come back into my room, and find Ziggy sitting on my bed, looking at me funny. I shoo him off (I hate animal hair on my stuff, and I’m kind of mad at him already) and get back to the nothing I was doing before. But, I take a closer look, and now realize Ziggy has pissed on my bed! And I just changed the sheets last night, they were brand new!

So now I’m angry, and also wondering why this cat thinks it’s cool to do this. Is my room so disgusting that animals think it’s ok to deficate in it? And now that cat is standing outside my door crying to come in. Never again cat! My room is not a toilet!
