I can't believe it's already been a year since Spillo died.



30 days music meme

Day 28: A song that makes you feel guilty
"Oops I did it again", Britney Spears

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60uhiPqb2_U

I had no idea what song to choose here, until I stumbled upon "Britney Spears Top 20" or something like that on MTV the other day and saw this video. It doesn't really make me feel guilty, but it reminds me that I, uhm, sort of did what the song is about. *shifty eyes* It wasn't intentional, though! D:

Day 29: A song from your childhood
"Papa don't preach", Madonna



I don't know why, but I associate this song with sitting in the back of my dad's car while we went to visit my aunt, who used to live in Milan before moving to lake Garda. My dad's always listened to the radio while driving and I guess this song came up pretty often, so it just stuck in my mind.

Day 30: Your favorite song at this time last year
"Space Oddity", David Bowie.

To be honest I have no idea, at this time last year I was pretty depressed, had a lot of problems at work and my cat died, it was such an awful period. My favourite song was maybe one of the songs I've already mentioned in the past days ("Disintegration" or "Rebell"), but since I started this meme with David Bowie, I'll end it with David Bowie as well, this song is one of my favourites anyway. I've also just found out there is an Italian version of this song. And it's ATROCIOUS. D:

Yesterday was such a stressful day. First I thought my cell phone got stolen (luckily I had just forgotten it at home), then my parents, who are currently on holiday, tried to call me, but they couldn't contact me, so my mother got worried and called our neighbours and a friend of mine to see if they could reach me. My friend sent me an email and I called them at their hotel. The funny thing is, I actually wanted to call them during lunch break, because I had gone out with some friends the night before and I know my mother always worries when I have to use the underground after 9:00 PM. But of course I had to forget my cell phone that day. Then in the evening I had to rush to the local festival, since I'm in charge on the bookshop. And, on top of that, I've had a terrible stomachache for days. I looks like I'll have to stay clear of festival food for a while.

At least I bought two sci-fi books for 1€ each, one by Philip Dick and one by Frederick Brown, who are among my favourite writers of all time.

Also, it looks like the poor people in Linz will have to stand in the rain both today and tomorrow. I'm sorry for them. I hope it won't rain in Montreux next week...

*eyebrow fetish galore*

EDIT: Last night I dreamed Bela was at my place and we were talking about marketing strategies involving buttons (not band pins, real buttons you use to, you know, button up your shirt?) After a while he said he had brought along his cat and when I saw him... it was my cat! Only, in kitten form. I can't believe it's been a month since he died. My poor Spillo... ;_;

Thanks for your comments to my previous post. Things are slowly getting better, but I'll need time to get over it, he was with us for almost 14 years. It's not so bad when I'm out somewhere, but when I get home I still expect to see him sitting in front of the door, miaowing and purring. I still tend to put my bag on my desk and not on my chair, because he liked sleeping there. I still reflexively watch out for his litter box when I walk into the bathroom, even if the litter box is not there anymore. Sometimes I even seem to hear him or see him out of the corner of my eyes.

We knew he was quite old for a cat. He suffered from kidney failure two years ago, he recovered completely but we were aware he could have a relapse. We just weren't expecting him to die now, it was so sudden. He was a bit weak lately, but he always got weak and whiny in summer because of the heat. He looked healthy (I took the photo I posted in my previous entry one month ago), he could jump and run with no problems, and the day before he died he was lively and played like I hadn't seen him play in a long time. I guess that was his swan song.

Well, at least I was with him a lot in the last three weeks, the forced holiday period was good for something. As soon as I'm able to think of him without crying like a baby, I'll write down all the good memories I have of him, so I'll read them in a few years and smile.

Some people called my mother and me stupid and told us there's no need to cry, because "it was just a cat". Yes, we know he was just a cat, but he was our cat. And those people can go fuck themselves.

RIP Spillo

Spillo, July 1995 - 4th June 2009



He died this morning in his sleep. When I looked at him this evening, it looked like he was still peacefully asleep. I can only hope that means he didn't suffer.

I can't remember when was the last time I cried so much.

I got a reply from a language school in Potsdam, but they only said they're not looking for Italian teachers at the moment. Sigh.

Anyone in the mood for a drabble?

PS Behold the subtlety of the title.

"You just had to go and start a fight with him, didn't you?" Farin said as he carefully put some ice on Bela's eye. He was going to have one hell of a shiner.

"He asked for it. He and his fucking "We're punker than you" attitude, he had it coming."

"This rivalry doesn't make any sense. We're two bands that make two different kinds of music."

"I wasn't the one who started it!"

"You punched him in the gut."

"He punched me in the face! My poor, pretty face."

Farin smiled. He would have to kiss him better later.
