fleas lakes and yams

this is lexie (hi lexie):





















she's my roommates' barn cat
and we just found out she has fleas.
and i am petrified.
i don't touch her anymore, and although it's dramatic,
everytime i see her bounce around our living room
i picture grenades of tiny vermin (that's what they are to me)
being catapulted from her calico coat.
and it makes me shudder.
cats are cute when they don't carry creepy creatures.
(tool of the day? apparently alliteration).


on a lighter note,
i have been listening an awful lot to these guys these days:




as i make notes for my final exam (yay!) on
political ecology (boo!)
i am lulled into a false sense of security about this exam,
by these wonderful (CANADIAN) men.
i saw them, as well as ohbijou, open for final fantasy here in
guelph last year and i fell in love.
they're coming to guelph's annual winter music festival 'hillside inside'
this year, and i am beyond ecstatic.
(check out the rest of the line-up, it's going to be religious.)

last year heather and i saw tokyo police club, the weakerthans, wintersleep,
cuff the duke, city and colour and so many more.

(this is heather, she's lovely).
















...

to end off this incredibly sporadic post, i will conclude
with my dinner plans: SUSHI.
there's a little place downtown that has the best
vegetarian maki with yam tempura...and although
i'm pretty sure yam is a very american term
(well, it certainly isn't japanese)
sweet potato just sounds so much...sweeter.

adios!
i'll see you when i'm back in ottawa!
