guess what everyone??
you got it. SNOW DAY!! hooray! stuff like this never happens… especially to me. it was kind of odd that the university closed down at noon when i had an 11:30 class. class for 30 minutes? then go home? too confusing.
i went to watch my friend Alex play his saxophone in a jazz trio tonight. if there’s something you’ll know about me, i like to watch live musik. there’s something about it that makes me feel alive. i mean, right in front of my very eyes, a musician creates art where there would otherwise be silence. he played some Coltrane and made it his own, which was lovely. also as a tribute to valentine’s day he played “when i fall in love” for those romantics out there. sigh. valentine’s day. nothing special planned for me this year. would be nice though if some day i would actually do something special. i guess i’ll save that for another year.
something fun i will do this wednesday is romp around in the snow. it’s deliciously fun! something about being knee-deep in white fluff makes me smile. and laugh too.
i like monkeys. and since there is so much snow, i’ll post a picture with NO snow. it actually looks warm in this picture:

if you perhaps some day see a monkey petting a cat, please take a picture of it. and then send it to me. i am sure i would love to see it.
although I’ve never seen a monkey petting a kitten…I’ve seen a monkey steal a cat up a tree. In Honduras, one of my neighbors was a monkey, and she had the habit of grabbing a cat or two (whole slews of cats came to sit with her on a daily basis), climbing them up a nearby tree, and holding them for hours up there. Eventually she would come down, let them go, and grab a few new ones. It was hilarious…I should have snapped up a pic.
