Kwik-E-Mart's all night service
1. JN didn't catch any fish today off the pier though his neighbours hooked three miniature sharks and tormented them rather cruelly. On the way home, he stopped by a pet store and saw that they had kitties for adoption.
On our way to "Nacho Libre" (a not-bad movie that could have been uproarious, somehow), we visited with the kittens who were now napping. They were a cosy muddle of fur and whiskers totally indifferent to our admittedly rather nauseating cooing and mimetic mewing. I'd been told they had been "frolicking" a mere half-hour before. Three of them had little white feet (which now remind me of was it Sandburg's ? fog).
2. Any trip down to Hearst Castle in San Simeon should include an overnight of camping in Big Sur. I'm nervous about the bears. A and T were interested as well and T didn't seem to be afraid of bears. But he did pretend to see one behind me and I almost fell for it. A little.
3. Just received my birthday present through the mail: near-broadcast quality DVDs of a favourite childhood Japanese-French animation series about the Spanish search for Incan gold spiced with mysticism and science fiction in equal measure.
Watching it again is as rewarding as I thought it would be--the artistry of the backdrops is reminiscent of old Hollywood sets with the perfectly painted daybreaks and jungle vales.
Even more exciting is the discovery of the "capture" option for frames--I could make wallpaper out of any moment--how wonderful is this technology sometimes. It pacifies as it entraps. (At least.)
