#moustrap

my new roommates are only awake at night. they eat my food, never pay rent, and poop on the floor. as much as i hate confrontation, it is time for them to leave. my human room mates suggested mousetraps, but i don’t want to be a murderer. i told them if they gave me a chance, i would trap the mice alive and release them at the church down the street. i pray to god this works, because swear to christ if i see a dead animal i am going to vomit.

i am the cat

and you are the mouse

you want the crumbs

but this is my house

scurry into the tube

for a nibble of bread

oopsy you fell

but at least you’re not dead

you’re in the old trash can

on a soft paper bed

no need to panic

won’t leave you in the lurch

crawl into my hands

The highlight of my morning was not the delicious bagel with lox (which is cheaper here because it's Scottish and we're a lot closer to Scotland). It was in fact when a woman with a British accent stopped me on the street and asked for directions to the entrance of The British Museum (it's around the corner from my flat). I was able to direct her, of course... I felt very proud of myself I have to say.

We're reading Julius Caesar in Shakespeare class and I was reminded of a lot of the moments in the production that Bing's Theater Department did my freshman year. I really enjoyed that intrepretation with the suits and heavy eye make-up and Marilyn Manson music, so it'll be interesting to see how the all female production we are seeing tomorrow night compares.

I absolutely love my theater course. It is with the same professor as Shakespeare and she's absolutely hilarious. She made fun of me for pronouncing Borough Market incorrectly.. I can't help it, my Connecticut accent doesn't allow me to pronounce o's that way. Emily and I had to present on Ancient Rome and Amphitheater's and I actually learned a lot from researching the time period that translated over into my Shakespeare discussion.

After dinner, Dana and I began researching hostel's and plane/train tickets for our first available weekend which happens to be her birthday weekend. We're thinking about going to France February 21st, we're going to look into it more tomorrow. Cohen, Courtney, and I started discussing going to Amsterdam March 8th so that's also a possibility. Cohen and I booked tickets for Agatha Christie's"Mousetrap" for Monday!

I've known TB for quite awhile now. All the way back before he was part of the 940 crew. The quiet kid that usually came to the park by himself. Kind of crazy watching everyone progress over the years, especially TB. In my opinion, he's got one of the best skate styles in Top town. Not perfect, and not sketchy. That perfect dose of the two combined to give it that style everyone wants to have. 

The photos seen here were made shortly after i started shooting digital. One of my first sequences (as you can tell, the buffer ran out and cut the last photo or two off). But here he is, just another cold-ass day at Ol' Park.
