Oh yeah.... I FOUND A CAT.





If anyone knows anything about me, it'll be that I'm kinda obsessed with cats... if I see one, I have to like put on a stupid baby voice and stroke it and try and immediately make friends with it. It's pretty weird...

Alex hates it. And so there I was, flipping out with this cat and he was getting so annoyed. Suffice to say these pictures were definitely not taken by him.

Later that night, me and Jafar definitely bro'd down hard and he slept on my stomach.

True story.

Rocky Mount, NC

6.29.09
15:35 (EDT)
(Time of scheduled departure, 15:13)

Got here at around 2:30, train was delayed by 25mins, so we decided to keep up with our quest and went out in the mad heat to find something to drink.

This town is dead.

It's bigger than most towns, like super wide and really long; so long you can't see the end. Another way it's different is that only like one in twenty shops allow you to look through their windows, let alone enter the shop, because everything else is shut down.

We go into this antiques place and were greeted by the deafest man in NC, with the worlds most disgusting voice. This dude EATS cigars. After looking through his junk and being refused the one thing either of us wanted to buy, Alex asked where we could get a drink, so we head out.

It's still so hot, but we walk two blocks and find a Café.

It was shut.

"They're never open on Mondee's." Thanks Jarvis.

We amble back, now dripping with sweat . Alex spys a Pepsi machine, so we run across this huge road... only to find it's out of order. We give up and walk back to the station. Oh, by the way - bear in mind we've been lugging our full suitcases this whole time. But no matter, our salvation is found beneath a Jamaican flag - there's a restaurant across the tracks. This looks promising, all the signs and lights are on.

But of course... it's shut. Oh wait, it's shut DOWN. This town is a joke.

Alex asks this old black dude if there's anywhere in town to grab a drink; he responds in a way greater than anything I could have wished for:

"Awwwwwwwww S**T!"

*spits his tobacco*

"Drink!??!... Not in this town!"

Sums it up really.

We walk back to the station and a young lad asks if we're waiting for the 79, because it's been delayed until 4. We were. One last desperate attempt we ask if he knows anywhere to get a drink. He musters a sympathetic musing face and says no, but politely informs us there is a drinks machine back at the station we started at...

I just had an orange soda.
It was terrible.

It's 15:55, our train will be arriving in twelve minutes.

Thanks Rocky Mount. You are as dead to me as you are to everyone else.

Review: The freshest fruit flavour, but WHY THE PEARLS?
Rating: 3/10*


*I need to explain this drink... they take the freshest fruit and make what looks like the best smoothie ever... but then they put these little pearls of Tapioca in the bottom and give you this hench straw. Every time you take a big slurp, you practically choke on these little pearls, which have the same consistency as I would expect frogspawn!!! SO weird.

10/10 on concept, coz it looks and seems incredible... but just to weird to work.

49 Bayard St...

Thursday 18th June
19:55 (EDT)

Alex and myself are sitting outside Pete & Chuck's apartment - Alex is banging his legs and singing loudly (as i once was); The Get Up Kids. Neither Chuck or Pete are home. Chuck is apparently on his way... we've been here for an hour. Nice set of legs by me. Luke warm tea*.




*Tea is what we used to talk about girls without them knowing - it came about form the plane when Alex tried to cover up talking about the hostess' derriere. "Dude look at that.... err... that 'tea' looks so nice". She replies in anger... "yeah, I'm sure it does."

This stuck and so we used it the whole time we were away.
America is full of freshly brewed, strong, hot, tea.
