the pallas cat

last night i dealt with the weight of the world by getting drunk and looking up pictures of different cat species on wikipedia.  i have decided that the silliest is the pallas cat.  i don't have the motivation to link, just fucking look it up.  

the girl was writing a paper for grad school due at midnight.  this was at around 10.30 that i got seriously into this pursuit, and insisted that she look at pictures of caracals etc.  i got a pretty good reaction out of her for most of them.  i don't know what the paper looks like.  i don't think she was too invested in it.  

i technically have some sort of examination tomorrow.  i've decided that it's too late for me to really do much in the way of studying, and thus that i had best prepare my mind by listening to the smithsonian collection of appalachian folk music and venting about various things on my readerless blog.  

i want to feel my savior near

i want to die a-shouting

i want to live a christian year

till soul and body's parting

alternately:

to insist on facing the salt 

and it stings

and certainly, this changes things

compare and contrast.  discuss amongst yourselves.  look at cat pictures.
