--- Jerry Seinfeld
I can't avoid talking about this anymore... My favorite thing in the world is when you go to some business and a cat lives there. This usually happens at places like book stores, but in Seattle it seems to happen in all kinds of places. Why is it so good? I think it's because it blurs the line between the worlds of commerce and non-commerce, home and work. You're out in the non-home scary world but then surprise you're also in a cozy living room with adorable kittens running around? Madness. What is what? Everything is permitted.
Also, do the cats stay there all night after the place closes? Do they live at work? I mean, what do you do; you have one at work and one at home? That seems creepy. You have cats in shifts? Work-cat clocks in, home-cat clocks out. What if they find out about each other? Jealousy.
I took this photo at night through the window of a safe-store. I think it's a safe-store. Anyway, there was a cat sleeping in there, and it looked like he broke into a safe. And then fell asleep.
It's even better when cats have a job. I want to hire a cat as my agent...
"Mr. Sniffles, did you get me that job on the new Spike Lee film? Oh hi, Alex, sorry it took so long to get back to you, I've been in LA for two weeks... meow"
Jerry Seinfeld - Comedian --- I've been going through this intense Seinfeld phase. I bought his book Seinlanguage, and it's SO GOOD. I'm serious. Look:
deal with that.
He's like a fucking philosopher. I can't believe he's so widely popular because he's soooo Jewish. People like Jews? I have a theory that he taps into the inner Jew of non-Jews, and they don't even know it. He literally has rednecks in Iowa eating bagels unwittingly and saying things like "Again with the cow-milking?" But the movie is a whole-nother thing. It's a documentary about him after the show Seinfeld is over, and he goes back out onto the road and tries to put together a whole new stand-up routine. Really interesting if you like comedy and stand-up comedy. You get to hear him say bad words, and also you hear Bill Cosby say "shit." So good. Plus, you see him hanging out with his wife. She's so Jewish, and I'm proud of him for not marrying some blond-shiksa-LA-bimbo. Sorry bimbos.

..you're thinking these things -cats and jews that are so jew they make other non-jews schlepp their way to understanding the oft misunderstood jewish community that the jewish community themselves often misunderstand at 235 am...cats? sleeping in stores? really.
the best thing about your blog is that you allow for anon comments. you know, not many people do that nowadays.
it even looks like the kitty cat stole a gold coin
i've read the first guy's first sentence 6 times and i don't understand!!!!! maybe it's because i'm a gentile.
alex,
one morn i was walking down congress and i looked in the window of kruger's jewelers and there was a woman setting up the diamond displays on a shelf. totally normal, right? EXCEPT there was a little blanket in front of her with a cat all curled up. it blew my mind.
ok now i read it out loud and i think it makes more sense. i think i was parsing incorrectly.
cats tend to hang around people's valuables. i've noticed this
i've been to that shop on broadway. just a general locksmith. i had some keys made there. the cat makes the keys.
Nate, so now the cat has keys to your place? He's gonna rob you!
