Goldfish & Cats
1/2/06 01:31So, who wants to come see the Moscow Cat Theatre? [link in English]
Tickets are rather expensive. But it's Russian. And cats! On a tightrope!

You remember your first goldfish, right, or your friend's? You went and got it in that rancid little Woolworth's pet department, or from a win-a-fish game at the carnival. You put it in a bowl with some water and a hideous plastic plant and named it Sigfried or Goldy or Petunia-Wallaby and fed it for a week and then it turned purple and wouldn't eat and one day you came in and if you were religious you recited a little prayer, and flushed, and washed your hands afterwards.
So my memory for directions yesterday apparently approximates that goldfish's. After death.
As was proven thus: the way to get the three blocks to Rax's house from the T stop is not via 20 blocks on foot, 'til you are standing at the Somerville hospital, thinking, "I'm lost, and there sure are a lot of cop cars in this area."
Annotated map later, with colors. It looks a little like the ones detailing the migration over the land bridge during the last ice age.
