murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!

Your video of the cats cracked me up...hope you didn't kill them though, but how annoying!

That's a cat? That sounds like a baby, but a really annoying, not cute baby. Yuck. I hate cats.

those cats are in heat.
(the sound is unmistakeable)
they should be out of heat in about a week.

good luck sleeping (I recommend ear plugs but you might want to invest in a white noise machine if that doesn't work)

And if they are in heat, that means they are about to get pregnant and multiply. And those kittens won't take long to mature and go into heat themselves. I feel bad for the tenant who lives there after you. Fun times!!!

if you can dump a bucket of water on them they are likely to figure out that they prefer to go looking for mates somewhere else. (but perhaps not too much water since it's cold out -- just enough to annoy them but not soak them or they could get sick)

These cats (the same ones) were in heat, making all kinds of ruckus outside of my window for MONTHS in the fall. They are not just annoying, but they are total street cats and very ugly.

Becka, that may just be my fave clip that you've ever post ... YOU CRACK ME UP!! I know you love animals, but in this case you were completely justified in wanting to kill those damn cats. I would have killed them. Love you!

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t
