What an amaaaazing weekend! First off, my housemate finally cleaned the kitchen! So happy. Friday I met up with Christina and we went book shopping. Didn't find much in the way of secondhand bookstores, but I got a book of Juan Ramón Jimenez poems and then we went over to Karim's and had lunch with him and Danielle, which was unexpected and delicious.
After lunch Christina had a coffee date, so she went on her way and Karim and I went and had coffee at Bohemia, which was nice. Such a cute shop, and I had a really yummy cappuccino with whipped cream. Mmm.
After coffee I ran some errands with him and then we got Leto and took him for a walk to a thrift store where I purchased the most awesome and ridiculous furry white jacket EVER. Polar bear on Halloween? Yes, indeed!
I hung out with Karim, Danielle and Leto at their place for a while, and then headed home when they started getting ready for dinner. On the way home, when I passed the "cat sanctuary" the most adorable black kitten came out and said howdy to me, so I stopped to see if I could pet it and I ended up sitting there with a kitten purring in my lap for a good ten minutes. She was SUCH a sweetheart. I wanted to take her home, but I didn't know how my housemates would feel about it...
Anyway, Friday night Karim told us there was a goth DJ thing goin on for free at the Who Rock Bar, which is actually pretty close to my apartment, so Michelle and I went to check it out. It was pretty mellow, not a ton of people, and Karim, Danielle and his friend Javi had to leave after not too long, but Michelle and I had an awesome time watching goth kids dance with their super serious faces and whatnot.
Saturday was actually rainy and chilly, which was actually kind of nice. I stayed in bed late and wrote and was cozy, but I also kept thinking about the lil kitten in the rain, so I talked to Lucas and he said I could bring her home if I took care of her! I went and got some kitty supplies and made a ghetto litter box until I can make it to the pet store, and then went to the cat sanctuary but she wasn't there! So much sad. So, I went to a thrift store and realized there was an everything for 5 euros deal (stoked!) so a bought an awesome black dress, a stripey sweater and then a white lacy top and a white skirt for my polar bearness! I don't usually shop alone but there was something really nice and calm about poking around the thrift shop alone on a chilly autumn evening.
I also bought some veggies on the way home, so I had a yummy yum dinner of pasta with zucchini, onion and garlic marinara sauce. I made way too much, as usual, but luckily Michelle and Sydney came over at the perfect moment, so I fed their faces a bit and then we had drinks and went to see a Muse tribute band at the Who Rock Bar. It. Was. Awesome. Definitely a billion times more fun than I expected; we even ended up in a mini-mosh pit with this group of super enthused guys from Madrid. I danced/jumped/moshed/headbanged my ass off, and it felt AMAZING. I'm so stoked that those girls are as awesome as they are and down with going to shows and whatnot. Afterwards we decided to go check out some of the gay bars, since Michelle hadn't been yet. We ended up in La Sal, the lesbian bar, for quite some time and had a ton of fun dancing there. Afterwards we went to Kebab King and got delicious felafel. What a freaking awesome night!
Today, Felipe came over to put his copy of Photoshop on my computer, but I noticed that the sweet black kitty was back in the cat sanctuary, so we went and snagged some of Lucas' sausages and tried to lure her out. She is literally the sleepiest cat ever. She did not give a fuck about the meat at ALL. We sat there for like AGES trying to get her interested in the meat, and I even got smacked by another cat who was trying to get in on the food action. Finally I stuck my hand under the fence and kinda lifted her butt up, so she reluctantly got up and crawled under the fence and I nabbed her! I was ridiculously excited. She was a little uncertain about the coming home, but didn't complain or anything. I noticed she had some fleas on her face, so Felipe helped me bathe her in the bathroom sink and she wasn't happy about it, but relatively speaking was actually pretty mellow about the ordeal. We scrubbed her down with shampoo and picked off and killed her icky fleas and then dried her off in a fluffy towel and brought her to the window to dry in the sun. She is literally the sweetest most mellow kitty ever. She didn't even hold a grudge about the bathing, and has just been all kinds of sweet and cuddly, sitting in my lap and purring like a motorboat.
I'M IN LOVE.
Speaking of love, I realized I forgot to write about Casey's last two Friday gifts which were...
Lychee gummy candy and chipotle chilli chocolate! I wish I brought lychee candy with me, that shit is DOPE. I miss World Market.
