KITTY-MILK
i received a most unusual gift today. it was given to me by my “boss” at Umelec Magazine, where i serve as diligent intern-extraordinaire twice a week. i’m not quite sure what i did to deserve it, but (i think?) i am extremely appreciative…!
william (le boss) walked up to me, placed the KITTY-MILK on my desk, looked me dead in the eye and said “just shut up and take it.”
now, you should know something about william. he’s the kind of guy who’ll crack a joke with a straight face and watch you bemusedly as you struggle to figure out whether or not he was serious.
the KITTY-MILK incident is classic example. intrigued by this seemingly harmless little tin, i decided to pop it open and have a taste, assuming it was some kind of silly fake cat food (the ingredients were only listed in czech and russian). thank gawd a belarusian colleague stopped me, pointing at the small white tub and patiently – albeit seriously – explaining that “hana, this is formula to return strength to stray kittens. do not eat… i think it’s not very good.” —foiled again.
… just another day at the office!

hahahahaha!! hana! how do you manage to have such fun stories? like stewie (remember him– I was just thinking about that the other week (siamese!))…
and why would you even be curious about the contents of a can with a kitten on it?
and yes you can be my date next year to the armory show.
