blablabla

The cat woke me this morning, as usual, at sunrise. She knows very well that if she jumps from my bed onto my desk that all hell breaks loose, if I’m awake – but she does it anyway. I cannot wait for my ex to take her. She’s very nice but she wakes me each and every single morning and I usually cannot get back to sleep. Once she’s gone it will be a very long time before I have another pet, they are a lot of work. She will wake me up by meowing in front of the bedroom door, wanting to be let out, but if I actually open the door she won’t leave unless I do too. I either have to shove her out the door and close it (so as not to let the warm air out) or I have to wait until the little bitch eventually jumps from the bed onto my desk, at which point I scream at her and toss her out the door and try to get back to sleep.

And cat food is expensive, too… or at least the food that she’ll eat. I don’t understand why you can’t use tickets to pay for it, either.

You know how in some ads, especially for tourist destinations, you see a chef or a fisherman holding up a plate or the days catch and he has a huge smile on his face? I saw the same scene this morning, except it was the owner of a kiosk on 18 de Julio Avenue holding a big stack of porno DVD’s in his hand as if they were the best thing since sliced bread. The city should put HIM on the “Montevideo vive” ad posters you see all around, with his stack of skank in hand.

The Montevideo vive posters kinda crack me up, they are aimed at tourists I think. One of them shows a woman holding a CD in her hand with a huge smile (much like the guy with the stack of porno). Of course, the picture ought to be captioned “My kids will eat less tonight because I bought this CD!” But they should show the guy with the stack of porn, I think it would be better. His smile was just as big and it was certainly genuine.

I scheduled my next Microsoft exam for next Wednesday. I want this certification thing done with by the end of August. So last night after the gym, and the grocery store, I started studying once again. There’s not much else to do after all. Dinner last night was good – I bought a big steak at the grocery store and fried it with lots of spices, and then dipped that in some A1 steak sauce that a co-worker bought me on a trip to another country. It was very good. Yep, dinner accompanied by Crónica, the crazy news channel from Argentina – and questions about TCP/IP subnets from my practice exams. I stayed awake for awhile (until 1230 am) in hopes I would see Matt online but did not have any such luck. I slept, well, great – until the damn cat woke me up this morning. Oh well, lunch time is over, back to work…
