more about “Ryan and Davy on Vimeo”, posted with vodpod

Those of you who follow me on Twitter might be aware that my lady companion has been forbidden entry into Canada.  Without going into detail, this means that I’ve moved into her apartment to look after her cat, Bruno, and dog, Davy.

Frankly, I could do without this cat.  I love cats but Bruno is a complete asshole.  I’ve never dealt with a creature so destructive, ill-intentioned and sneaky as this orange son of a bitch.  I’m locked in an epic struggle of wills with him.  He’s my personal Hitler.  And, like Hitler, he will lose.

The dog, on the other hand, is wonderful.

Being suddenly uprooted from my life, put into a home I don’t want to be in and having the routines I depend upon ripped to shreds by agents of the Canadian government, I’ve done what any sane person would do.  I bought some new socks.

Purchased at Grreat Stuff, which has one of Toronto’s better selection of socks and ties, these four pairs ran me about seventy dollars.

I’m convinced that men are getting ripped off on socks.  Women can get all sorts of colours and patterns for a reasonable price.  But if you want to buy man-socks that are not black or grey, you pay through the nose.  [Full disclosure: I keep my money in my nose.]

There’s no sense complaining about it.  After all, no one forced me to buy these socks and I like them.  But still . . .  Seventy bucks!

    You look radically different when you laugh. It’s unsettling.

    Cats are mad narcissist bastards. Bruno probably just resents you. You foil his evil plots yet, as his temporary food machine, he is completely reliant on your favour.

    If anyone can outmaneuver agents of the Canadian government it’s you and Shalome!
