Questions I Would Like To Ask The Cat

I was reading this book. Perhaps he had the right idea.


I go out to find the cat. He’s the only one that would understand. You see, I’ve been seeing things lately. Travel for one thing, but also strange visions, rotating pantheons of Hindu gods, vivid dreams, water, mirrors, light. Sometimes it makes happy sense and sometimes sad. Things seem alternately good or bad, and both moments feel true. In between, however, this world seems largely indifferent. It only bothers me when it wants something and it’s nice when it feel like it. Like the cat.

I’d like to ask Damian where he is. If he even understands where he is, or how he got from America to here. Sometimes he sits on the windowsill and looks out the window. The crows fuck with him, he yips at them, impotently. I wonder if he understands how he ended up 70 feet in the air. He goes out at night. I wonder if he ever takes the elevator.

I don’t think he wonders at all. The only things I’ve seen freak him out are the CD drive and thunder. And getting a thermometer up his bum. He just sorta is and he’s comfortable, unless he’s unhappy and then he poops on my bed. It is taking me a countless amount of time and energy to reach similar conclusions. I really wish the cat would give me some advice.

Aha, an explanation for the rich vein of philosophy that has coloured your recent posts?

Keep talking to that cat my friend, and let us know what he says.

“The crows fuck with him” what else do you expect them to do with a pussy?

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.
