tikus besar

i went to solo last night for dinner with some friends.
pizza, donuts, and cheese. mmmmmmmmm......
all the luxuries of the big city.
we rode motorbikes there and back.
it was my first time traveling to another city by bike.
and it was excellent.
on the way home, i rode with peco.
we were singing at the top of our lungs for a good part of the ride back.
jason mraz and big n rich and shania twain and anything else good to scream sing.
yohanes and tiffany were riding in front of us.
and even with all the trucks and other traffic, they said they could hear us.
it was great fun.
until we inhaled too much exhaust and other fumes.
(note, i had to wash my face 3 times to get all the black off when we got home)
that guy is leaving in 6 days.
i'm gonna miss him.
a lot.

when we got home, cat had some surprises for me.
first of all, she was standing by the guard shack at the back gate when i got in.
that was the first time i have ever seen her leave the sidewalk in front of my house.
a few minutes after i came inside, i heard her outside the screen door.
i went to say hi to her, and she was sitting there happily displaying a very large, very dead rat.
after i congratulated her, she promptly managed to eat the entire thing in under 10 minutes.
i swiped the tail from her when that was all that was left.
i grabbed my ruler.... 18 centimeters!
once again, cat has redeemed herself, not only by killing a rat possibly bigger than herself, but by eating the entire thing in one sitting.
you can't help but respect that.
