Arman tells me bits of my brain get smaller when I don’t sleep. This is believable, especially since I tend to listen to awful pop music to keep myself awake. Right now it’s Soul Decision.
I’m up because I’m working on the cover for Frontage Roads (our literary magazine), and I always procrastinate on things I want to do well. I also procrastinate on difficult or unpleasant things, so usually the only work that gets done is pleasant and shoddy.
Integral and Marx seem fairly happy with their lot. I have transferred them to a more roomy butter cookie tin, about the size of an aquarium. Integral and I get along splendidly. Marx is more complacent — not much of a revolutionary. Possibly he is lying low. Fortunately, my dog, Simka, does not seem to want to maul the mice. He snuffled peacefully when introduced. He also drooled, though. This was disturbing.
You better re-link my music site when it’s up.
how was FR today? sorry i didn’t make it. what has become of the cover?
ok good, more space for the mice is good. can they see out? you should get them something so they can at least see outside. what do you feed them? do they have pink eyes?
They have dark red eyes, like perfect little drops of dried blood. They’re pretty great mice. You should meet them sometime.
Aquarium is pending. As to food, they mostly get people food. It’s good, though. Yummy.
dude! get them mouse food! if you’re going to keep animals in cages you might as well make it up to them by taking good care of their nutrition.
i hope one of them isn’t a mouse cannibal like your hamsters were
but yes, real pet food for them
those mice are so repressed. you totally need to hook them up with some coffee and poetry.
kid, the time has come to induce self awareness into your mice. Marx and Integral already have more personality than they can handle.
