saturday may 23

today i hung around home for most of the day, while our neighbour that lives on the floor below us threw a picnic party in our backyard. this party started at around 2:00 pm and lasted approximately 10 hours. this meant that not only was i forced to listen to the awful dance music that they played outside for most of the day, but also that i had to keep an eye on our cat all day. with a no-pets rule in effect for the house, his presence is still a secret, and his habit of sitting in the kitchen and staring out of the giant window into the backyard was problematic with 15 people out there. my forcing him into other sitting spots only resulted in us getting into a couple fights.
