Not really but I am really feeling it. Yay I had the civic holiday off. I don’t know why it is a holiday for some but it felt nice. Yesterday Kathy and i drove out of town just a little bit and there are a lot of very expensive houses and cars out there. Some of the places are huge, some nicely nestled into the old trees, others had all the trees cut away and it is a house on an island of grass. Later that day we fished a bit at Riverside Park and saw a blue herring. Didn’t bring my camera this time, oh well. The egyptian goose was hanging around with the other gooses, it looked cute. On Saturday it was apparently Rock the Mill, we walked about away from the ‘rocking’ which at the time was some guy playing on a recorder. We discovered the fire museum in Cambridge as well as the hours for the farmer’s market. There were letters in windows full of anger with the city. Can’t really blame them, even with all the stuff happening downtown I must say that was one very sad looking sidewalk sale and many of the places are still kind of empty.

Stopped by the flea market earlier in the day and that was pretty much dead, there was about 6 groups of people in there and maybe 12 vendors if that. Even the guy who sold meat was no longer there. The jewlery guy with a gold and jewel studded Cadalac emblem necklace was there still as well as a guy who sold Tetris for 20 dollars. On the bright side the game was thouroughly clean and like new. Someone was there selling really old audio video stuff for some fairly steep prices, a lot of the stuff looked like it should be in several garage sales for 5 dollars at the most.

On Friday Kathy finished her exam early, I wasn’t there in time to surprise her outside of her exam with her new pepper plant. We go to such classy places to eat, East Side, PFK, BK, oh yeah. Kitty hasn’t eaten the pepper plant which is good, very very good. On the down side Kitty has chewed off a branch of my cactus and has pulled Kathy’s Aloe Vera from the ground and was about to run off with it. He now has some cat grass that he cheerfully ignores.

Yesterday kitty got very scared of the vacuum it was alive and wanted to eat his soul. Kathy was stepping on the end of the tube to make it stand up as well as lift part of the tube that was over it. Kitty didn’t like that much and came closer to investigate. During his investigation the tube went down and than back up fairly quickly making him jump backwards and than scramble to get out of there. I’m sure it did not help him much that when I went over the vacuum Kathy lifted it again and I ran screaming from it tangling myself up in it a little bit. He stayed on the one side of the room sitting staring at it the whole time. A couple of times he thought about approaching it from behind the laundry basket or from under the sofa but he turned away soon after. He certainly did not like it when I picked him up and brought him towards it. Strangely enough he wasn’t scared of it when I brought it downstairs, but he was wary of the spot on the carpet where it had laid and sniffed it multiple times.

I’m in the mood for an RPG for DS but nothing to gringing or taxing like Pokemon. I don’t feel like having hundreds of meaningless battles just to raise levels. I’m dissappointed that the neew Starfox game is going to suck really badly, again. Oh well.

I mowed the lawn, the back lawn, the first time in about 3 months, there were parts of it where I really had to put my back into the mower to get it through some patches. Surprisingly I was able to cut most of it without a problem.
