Kung Fu Kitty

Yes, I am bleeding. But it was worth it. I had to show that I was the boss. I managed to fold that cat into a ball before it went all out on my hand. I just threw it out of the room again because it pounced on me while I was typing on the laptop I'm borrowing. This cat is fun because it is actually kind of threatening. I tease it through the glass table top and it tries to take more waving flesh from below. To get back at me the cat did a number on my luggage and pulled it open and rolled itself all over my clothes.

Ninja cat belongs to the owners of the apartment where I am staying--in Brooklyn. I never made it to Newark. There were all sorts of obstacles, which were sort of providential, because this place is way better. I am not far from Manhattan or Brighton Beach. Everything I need is right here. And for some weird reason it is quiet, even though it is Friday night.

I had one person explain to me that a commute of an hour and a half from Brooklyn is way better then Newark because in Newark I would be dead. Well, that is rather an extreme way to put it. But I can get to school or work within an hour, so that is not bad.

I have two jobs now, so I am making a little bit of money. I am preparing for my stock trading course Jan. 30th. I expect to be in NYC until early March, then I will move permanently to Texas. I plan to be in Canada this summer.
