11 AXOLOTL THERE WAS A TI:ME when I thought a great deal about the axolotls. I went to see them in the aquarium at the Jardin des Plantes and stayed for hours watching them, observing their immobility, their faint movements. Now I am an axolotl. I got to them by chance one spring morning when Paris was spreading its peacock tail after a winhy Lent. I was heading down the boulevard Port-Royal, then I took Saint Marcel and L'Hopital and saw green among all that grey and remembered the lions. I was friend of the lions and panthers, but had never gone into the dark, humid building that was the aquarium. I left my bike against the gratings and went to look at the tulips. The lions were sad and ugly and my panther was asleep. I decided on the aquarium, looked obliquely at banal fish until, unexpectedly, I hit it oji with the axolotls. I stayed watching them for an hour and left, unable to think of anything else. In the libraty at Sainte-Genevieve, I consulted a dictionary and learned that axolotls are the larval stage (provided with gills) of a species of salamander of the genus Ambystoma. That they were Mexican I knew already by looking at them and their little pink Aztec faces and the placard at the top of the tank. I read that specimens of them had been found in Africa capable of living on dry land during the periods of drought, and continuing their life under water when the rainy season came. I found their Spanish name, ajolote, and the mention that they
12 4 Julio Cortazar were edible, and that their oil was used (no longer used, it said) like cod-liver oil., I didn't care to look up any of the specialized works, but the next day I went back to the Jardin des Plantes. I began to go every morning, morning and afternoon some days. The aquarium guard smiled perplexedly taking my ticket. I would lean up against the iron bar in front of the tanks and set to watching them. There's nothing strange in this, because after the fust minute I knew that we were linked, that something i.nfurltely lost and distant kept pulling us together. It had been enough to detain me that first morning in front of the sheet of glass where some bubbles rose through the water. The axolotls huddled on the wretched narrow (only I can know how narrow and wretched) floor of moss and stone in the tank. There were nine specimens, and the majority pressed their heads against the glass, looking with their eyes of gold at whoever came near them. Disconcerted, almost ashamed, I felt it a lewdness to be peering at these silent and immobile figures heaped at the bottom of the tank. Mentally I isolated one, situated on the right and somewhat apart from the others, to study it better. I saw a rosy little body, translucent (I thought of those Chinese figurines of milky glass), looking like a small lizard about six inches long, ending in a fish's tail of extraordinary delicacy, the most sensitive part of om body. Along the back ran a transparent fin which joined with the tail, but what obsessed me was the feet, of the slenderest nicety, ending in tiny fingers with minutely human nails. And then I discovered its eyes, its face. Inexpressive features, with no other trait save the eyes, two orifices, like brooches, wholly of transparent gold, lacking any life but looking, letting themselves be penetrated by my look, which seemed to travel past the golden level and lose itself in a diaphanous interior mystery. A very slender black halo ringed the eye and etched it onto the pink flesh, onto the rosy stone of the head, vaguely triangular, but with curved and irregular sides which gave it a total likeness to a statuette conoded by time. The mouth was
13 kwlotl 5 masked by the b iangular plane of the face, its considerable size would be guessed only in profile; in hont a delicate crevice barely slit the lifeless stone. On both sides of the head where the ears should have been, there grew three tiny sprigs red as coral, a vegetal outgrowth, the gills, I suppose. And they were the only thing quick about it; every ten or fifteen seconds the sprig pricked up stillly and again subsided. Once in a while a foot would barely move, I saw the diminutive toes poise mildly on the moss. It's that we don't enjoy moving a lot, and the tank is so cramped-we barely move in any direction and we're hitting one of the others with our tail or our head-difficulties mise, fights, tiredness. The time feels like it's less if we stay quietly. It was their quietness that made me lean toward them fascinated the first time I saw the axolotls. Obscurely I seemed to understand their secret will, to abolish space and time with an indifferent immobility. I knew better later; the gill contraction, the tentative reckoning of the delicate feet on the stones, the abrupt swimming (some of them swim with a simple undulation of the body) proved to me that they were capable of escaping that mineral lethargy in which they spent whole hours. Above all else, their eyes obsessed me. In the standing tanks on either side of them, different fishes showed me the simple stupidity of their handsome eyes so similar to our own. The eyes of the axolotls spoke to me of the presence of a different life, of another way of seeing. Clueing my face to the glass (the guard would cough fussily once in a while), I tried to see better those diminutive golden points, that entrance to the infinitely slow and remote world of these rosy creatures. It was useless to tap with one finger on the glass directly in front of their faces; they never gave the least reaction. The golden eyes continued burning with their soft, tenible light; they continued looking at me from an unfathomable depth which made me dizzy. And nevertheless they were close. I knew it before this, before being an axolotl. I learned it tl1e day I came near
14 6 Julio Cortdz.ar them for the first time. The anthropomorphic features of a monkey reveal the reverse of what most people believe, the distance that is traveled from them to us. The absolute lack of similarity between axolotls and human beings proved to me that my recognition was valid, that I was not propping myself up with easy analogies. Only the little hands... But an eft, the common newt, has such hands also, and we are not at all alike. I think it was the axolotls' heads, that triangular pink shape with the tiny eyes of gold. That looked and knew. That laid the clain1. They were not animals. It would seem easy, almost obvious, to fall into mythology. I began seeing in the axolotls a metamorphosis which did not succeed in revoking a mysterious humanity. I imagined them aware, slaves of their bodies, condemned infinitely to the silence of the abyss, to a hopeless meditation. Their blind gaze, the diminutive gold disc without eli.j>ression and nonetheless terribly shining, went through me like a message: "Save us, save us." I caught myself mumbling words of advice, conveying childish hopes. They continued to look at me, immobile; from time to time the rosy branches of the gills stifrened. In that instant I felt a muted pain; perhaps they were seeing me, attracting my strength to penetrate into the impenetrable thing of their lives. They were not human beings, but I had found in no animal such a profound relation with myself. The axolotls were like witnesses of something, and at times like horrible judges. I felt ignoble in front of them; there was such a tenifying pmity in those transparent eyes. They were larvas, but larva means disguise and also phantom. Behind those Aztec faces, without expression but of an implacable cruelty, what semblance was awaiting its hour? I was afraid of them. I think that had it not been for feeling the proximity of other visitors and the guard, I would not have been bold enough to remain alone with them. "You eat them alive with your eyes, hey," the guard said, laughing; he likely though I was a little cracked.
15 Axolotl 7 What he didn't notice was that it was they devouring me slowly with their eyes, in a cannabalism of gold. At any distance from the aquarium, I had only to think of them, it was as though I were being affected from a distance. It got to the point that I was going every day, and at night I thought of them immobile in the darkness, slowly putting a hand out which immediately encountered another. Perhaps their eyes could see in the dead of night, and for them the day continued indefinitely. The eyes of axolotls have no lids. I know now that there was nothing sh ange, that that had to occur. Leaning over in front of the tank each morning, the recognition was greater. They were suffering, every fiber of my body reached toward that stifled pain, that stiff torment at the bottom of the tank. They were lying in wait for something, a remote dominion desh oyed, an age of liberty when the world had been that of the axolotls. Not possible that such a terrible expression which was attaining the overthrow of that forced blankness on their stone faces should carry any message other than one of pain, proof of that eternal sentence, of that liquid hell they were undergoing. Hopelessly, I wanted to prove to myself that my own sensibility was projecting a nonexistent consciousness upon the axolotls. They and I knew. So there was nothing sh ange in what happened. My face was pressed against the glass of the aquarium, my eyes were attempting once more to peneh ate the mystery of those eyes of gold without iris, without pupil. I saw from very close up the face of an axolotl immobile next to the glass. No h ansition and no surprise, I saw my face against the glass, I saw it on the outside of the tank, I saw it on the other side of the glass. Then my face drew back and I understood. Only one thing was strange: to go on thinking as usual, to know. To realize that was, for the first moment, like the horror of a man buried alive awaking to his fate. Outside, my face came clme to the glass again, I saw my mouth, the lips compressed with the effort of understanding the
16 8 Julio Cortazar axolotls. I was an axolotl and now I knew instantly that no understanding was possible. He was outside the aquarium, his thinking was a thinking outside the tank. Recognizing him, being him himself, I was an axolotl and in my world. The horror began-! learned in the same moment -of believing myself prisoner in the body of an axolotl, metamorphosed into him with my human mind intact, buried alive in an axolotl, condemned to move lucidly among unconscious creatures. But that stopped when a foot just grazed my face, when I moved just a little to one side and saw an axolotl next to me who was looking at me, and understood that be knew also, no communication possible, but very clearly. Or I was also in him, or all of us were thinking humanlike, incapable of expression, limited to the golden splendor of our eyes looking at the face of the man pressed against the aquarium. He returned many times, but he comes less often now. Weeks pass without his showing up. I saw him yesterday, be looked at me for a long time and left briskly. It seemed to me that he was not so much interested in us any more, that he was coming out of habit. Since the only thing I do is think, I could think about him a lot. It occurs to me that at the beginning we continued to communicate, that he felt more than ever one with the mystery which was claiming him. But the bridges were broken between him and me, because what was his obsession is now an axolotl, alien to his human life. I think that at the beginning I was capable of returning to him in a certain way-ah, only in a certain way-and of keeping awake his desire to know us better. I am an axolotl for good now, and if I think like a man it's only because every axolotl thinks like a man inside his rosy stone resemblance. I believe that all this succeeded in communicating something to him in those first days, when I was still he. And in this final solitude to which he no longer comes, I console myself by thinking that perhaps he is going to write a story about us, that, believing he's making up a story, he's going to write all tllis about axolotls.
17 HOUSE TAKEN OVER WE LIKED THE HOUSE because, apart from its being old and spacious (in a day when old houses go down for a profitable auction of their consb:uction materials), it kept the memories of great-grandparents, our paternal grandfather, our parents and the whole of childhood. Irene and I got used to staying in the house by ourselves, which was crazy, eight people could have lived in that place and not have gotten in each other's way. We rose at seven in the morning and got the cleaning done, and about eleven I left Irene to finish off whatever rooms and went to the kitchen. vve lunched at noon precisely; then there was nothing left to do but a few dirty plates. It was pleasant to take lunch and commune with the great hollow, silent house, and it was enough for us just to keep it clean. We ended up thinking, at times, that that was what had kept us from marrying. Irene turned down two suitors for no particular reason, and Maria Esther went and died on me before we could manage to get engaged. We were easing into our forties with the unvoiced concept that the quiet, simple marriage of sister and brother was the indispensable end to a line established in this house by our grandparents. We would die here someday, obscure and distant cousins would inherit the place, have it tom down, sell the bricks and get rich on the building plot; or more justly and better yet, we would topple it ourselves before it was too late. Irene never bothered anyone. Once the morning housework was finished, she spent the rest of the day on the
18 10 Julio Cortrizar sofa in her bedroom, knitting. I couldn't tell you why she knitted so much; I think women knit when they discover that it's a fat excuse to do nothing at all. But Irene was not like that, she always knitted necessities, sweaters for winter, socks for me, handy morning robes and bedjackets for herself. Sometimes she would do a jacket, then unravel it the next moment because there was something that didn't please her; it was pleasant to see a pile of tangled wool in her knitting basket fighting a losing battle for a few homs to retain its shape. Satmdays I went downtown to buy wool; Irene had faith in my good taste, was pleased with the colors and never a skein had to be retmned. I took advantage of these trips to make the rounds of the bookstores, uselessly asking if they had anything new in French literature. Nothing worthwhile had arrived in Argentina since But it's the house I want to talk about, the house and Irene. I'm not very important. I wonder what Irene would have done without her knitting. One can reread a book, but once a pullover is finished you can't do it over again, it's some kind of disgrace. One day I found that the drawer at the bottom of the chiffonier, replete with mothballs, was filled with shawls, white, green, lilac. Stacked amid a great smell of camphor-it was like a shop; I didn't have the nerve to ask her what she planned to do with them. We didn't have to earn our living, there was plenty coming in hom the farms each month, even piling up. But Irene was only interested in the knitting and showed a wonderful dexterity, and for me the hours slipped away watching her, her hands like silver seaurchins, needles flashing, and one or two knitting baskets on the floor, the balls of yam jumping about. It was lovely. How not to remember the layout of that house. The dining room, a living room with tapestries, the library and three large bedrooms in the section most recessed, the one that faced toward Rodriguez Peii.a. Only a corridor with its massive oak door separated that part from the front
19 House Taken Ooer 11 wing, where there was a bath, the kitchen, our bedrooms and the hall. One entered the house through a vestibule with enameled tiles, and a wrought-iron grated door opened onto the living room. You had to come in through the vestibule and open the gate to go into the living room; the doors to our bedrooms were on either side of tllis, and opposite it was the corridor leading to the back section; going down the passage, one swung open the oak door beyond which was the other part of the house; or just before the door, one could turn to the left and go down a narrower passageway which led to the kitchen and the bath. When the door was open, you became aware of the size of the house; when it was closed, you had the impression of an apartment, like the ones they build today, with barely enough room to move around in. Irene and I always lived in this part of the bouse and hardly ever went beyond the oak door except to do the cleaning. Incredible how much dust collected on the furniture. It may be Buenos Aires is a clean city, but she owes it to her population and nothing else. There's too much dust in the air, the slightest breeze and it's back on the marble console tops and in the diamond patterns of the tooled-leather desk set. It's a lot of work to get it off with a feather duster; the motes rise and bang in the air, and settle again a minute later on the pianos and the furnirure. I'll always have a clear memory of it because it happened so simply and without fuss. Irene was knitting in her bedroom, it was eight at night, and I suddenly decided to put the water up for mate. I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then rurned into the ball toward the kitchen, when I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muilled buzzing of a conversation. At the same time or a second later, I heard it at the end of the passage which led from those two rooms toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and
20 12 Julio Cortazar shut it, leaned on it with the weight of my body; luckily, the key was on our side; moreover, I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe. I went down to the kitchen, heated the kettle, and when I got back with the tray of mate, I told Irene: "I had to shut the door to the passage. They've taken over the back part." She let her knitting fall and looked at me with her tired, serious eyes. "You're sure?" I nodded. "In that case," she said, picking up her needles again, "we'll have to live on this side." I sipped at the mate very carefully, but she took her time starting her work again. I remember it was a grey vest she was knitting. I liked that vest. The first few days were painful, since we'd both left so many things in the part that had been taken over. My collection of French literatme, for example, was still in the library. Irene had left several folios of stationery and a pair of slippers that she used a lot in the winter. I missed my briar pipe, and Irene, I think, regretted the loss of an ancient bottle of Hesperidin. It happened repeatedly (but only in the first few days) that we would close some drawers or cabinet and look at one another sadly. "It's not here." One thing more among the many lost on the other side of the house. But there were advantages, too. The cleaning was so much simplified that, even when we got up late, nine thirty for instance, by eleven we were sitting around with our arms folded. Irene got into the habit of coming to the kitchen with me to help get lunch. We thought about it and decided on this: while I prepared the lunch, Irene would cook up dishes that could be eaten cold in the evening. We were happy with the arrangement because it was always such a bother to have to leave our bedrooms in
21 House Taken Over 13 the evening and start to cook. Now we made do with the table in Irene's room and platters of cold supper. Since it left her more time for knitting, Irene was content. I was a little lost without my books, but so as not to inflict myself on my sister, I set about reordering papa's stamp collection; iliat killed some time. We amused ourselves sufficiently, each with his own thing, almost always getting together in Irene's bedroom, which was the more comfortable. Every once in a while, Irene might say: "Look at this pattern I just figured out, doesn't it look like clover?" After a bit it was I, pushing a small square of paper in front of her so iliat she could see the excellence of some stamp or another from Eupen-et-Malmedy. We were fine, and little by little we stopped iliinking. You can live without thinking. (Whenever Irene talked in her sleep, I woke up immediately and stayed awake. I never could get used to this voice from a statue or a paitot, a voice that came out of the dreams, not from a throat. Irene said that in my sleep I flailed about enormously and shook the blankets off. We had the living room between us, but at night you could hear everything in the house. We heard each other breathing, coughing, could even feel each other reaching for the light switch when, as happened frequently, neither of us could fall asleep. Aside from our nocturnal rumblings, everything was quiet in the house. During the day there were the household sounds, the metallic click of knitting needles, the rustle of stamp-album pages turning. The oak door was massive, I think I said iliat. In the kitchen or the bath, which adjoined the part iliat was taken over, we managed to talk loudly, or Irene sang lullabies. In a kitchen there's always too much noise, the plates and glasses, for there to be inteituptions from other sounds. We seldom allowed ourselves silence iliere, but when we went back to our rooms or to the living room, then the house grew quiet,
22 14 Julio Cortazar half-lit, we ended by stepping around more slowly so as not to disturb one another. I think it was because of this that I woke up irremedially and at once when Irene began to talk in her sleep.) Except for the consequences, it's nearly a matter of repeating the same scene over again. I was thirsty that night, and before we went to sleep, I told Irene that I was going to the kitchen for a glass of water. From the door of the bedroom (she was knitting) I heard the noise in the kitchen; if not the kitchen, then the bath, the passage off at that angle dulled the sound. Irene noticed how brusquely I had paused, and came up beside me without a word. vve stood listening to the noises, growing more and more sure that they were on our side of the oak door, if not the kitchen then the bath, or in the hall itself at the turn, almost next to us. vve didn't wait to look at one another. I took Irene's arm and forced her to run with me to the wrought-iron door, not waiting to look back. You could hear the noises, still muffled but louder, just behind us. I slammed the grating and we stopped in the vestibule. Now there was nothing to be heard. "They've taken over our section," Irene said. The knitting had reeled off from her hands and the yarn ran back toward the door and disappeared under it. when she saw that the balls of yarn were on the other side, she dropped the knitting without looking at it. "Did you have time to bring anything?" I asked hopelessly. "No, nothing." vve had what we had on. I remembered fifteen thousand pesos in the wardrobe in my bedroom. Too late now. I still had my wrist watch on and saw that it was 11 r.m. I took Irene around the waist (I think she was crying) and that was how we went into the street. Before we left, I felt terrible; I locked the front door up tight and tossed the key down the sewer. It wouldn't do to have some poor devil decide to go in and rob the house, at that hour and with the house taken over.
23 THE DISTANCES The Diary of Alina Reyes JANUARY 12 LAST NIGHT it happened again, I so tired of bracelets and cajoleries, of pink champagne and Renata Viiies' face, oh that face like a spluttering seal, that picture of Dorian Gray in the last stages. It was a pleasure to go to bed to the Red Banlc Boogie, with a chocolate mint, mama ashenfaced and yawning (as she always comes back from parties, ashen and half-asleep, an enormous fish and not even that). Nora who says to fall asleep when it's light, the hubbub already starting in the street in the middle of the urgent chronicles her sister tells half-undressed. How happy they are, I turn off the lights and the hands, take all my clothes off to the cries of daytime and stirring, I want to sleep and I'm a terrible sounding bell, a wave, the chain the dog trails all night against the privet hedges. Now I lay me down to sleep... I have to recite verses, or the sys tern of looking for words with a, then with a and e, with five vowels, with four. With two and one consonant emu), ( obo, with four consonants and a vowel (crass, dross), then the poems again, The moon came down to the forge/ in its crinoline of tuberoses./ The boy looks and looks./ The boy is looking at it. With three and three in alternate order, cabala, bolero, animal; pavane, Canada, repose, regale. So hours pass: with four, with three and two, then later palindromes: easy ones like bah, bob, mom, did, dad, gag, radar; then more complicated or nice si11y ones like oho Eve oho, or the Napoleon joke, "able was I ere I saw Elba." Or the beautiful anagrams: Salvador Dali, avida dollars;
24 16 Julio Cortazar Alina Reyes, es la reina y... That one's so nice because it opens a path, because it does not close. Because the queen and... la reina y... No, horrible. Horrible because it opens a path to this one who is not the queen and whom I hate again at night. To her who is Alina Reyes but not the queen of the anagram; let her be anything, a Budapest beggar, a beginner at a house of prostitution in Jujuy, a servant in Quetzaltenango, any place that's far away and not the queen. But yes Alina Reyes and because of that last night it happened again, to feel her and the hate. JANUARY 20 At times I know that she's cold, that she suffers, that they beat her. I can only hate her so much, detest the hands that throw her to the ground and her as well, her even more because they beat her, because I am I and they beat her. Oh, I'm not so despondent when I'm sleeping or when I cut a suit or it's the hours mama receives and I'm serving tea to senora Regules or to the boy from the Rivas'. Then it's less important to me, it's a little more like something personal, I with myself; I feel she is more mistress of her adversity, far away and alone, but the mistress. Let her suffer, let her freeze; I endure it from here, and I believe that then I help her a little. Like making bandages for a soldier who hasn't been wounded yet, and to feel that's acceptable, that one is soothing him beforehand, providentially. Let her suffer. I give a kiss to senora Regules, tea to the boy from the Rivas', and I keep myself for that inner resistance. I say to myself, "Now I'm crossing a bridge, it's all frozen, now the snow's coming in through my shoes. They're broken." It's not that she's feeling nothing. I only know it's like that, that on one side I'm crossing a bridge at the same instant (but I don't k"tiow if it is at the same instant) as the boy from the Rivas' accepts the cup of tea from me and puts on his best spoiled face. And I stand it
25 The Distances 17 all right because fm alone among all these people witl1out sensitivity and I'm not so despondent. Nora was petrified last night, and asked, "But what's happening to you?" It was happening to that one, to me far off. Something horrible must have happened to her, they were beating her or she was feeling sick and just when Nora was going to sing Faure and I at the piano gazing happily at Luis Maria leaning with his elbows on the back of it which made him look like a model, he gazing at me with his puppy-look, the two of us so close and loving one another so much. It's worse when that happens, when I know something about her just at the moment I'm dancing with Luis 1-Iaria, kissing him, or just near him. Because in the distances they do not love me-her. That's the part they don't like and as it doesn't suit me to be rent to pieces inside and to feel they are beating me or that the snow is coming in through my shoes when Luis Maria is dancing with me and his hand on my waist makes the strong odor of oranges, or of cut hay, rise in me like heat at midday, and they are beating her and it's impossible to fight back, and I have to tell Luis Maria that I don't feel well, it's the humidity, humidity in all that snow which I do not feel, which I do not feel and it's coming in through my shoes. JANUARY 25 Sure enough, Nora came to see me and made a scene. "Look, doll, that's the last time I ask you to play piano for me. We were quite an act." What did I know about acts, I accompanied her as best I could, I remember hearing her as though she were muted. Votre dme est w1 choisi. paysage.. but I watched my hands on the keys and it seemed to me they were playing all right, that they accompanied Nora decently. Luis Maria also was watching my hands. Poor thing, I think that was because it didn't cheer him up particularly to look at my face. I must look pretty strange. Poor little Nora. Let someone else accompany her.

Author's Note
Fifteenth day of The Fall of Good Friends, in the seventeenth season of Abbot Renaullo
Today, my mother has decided it is the time I begin a journal, being now ten seasons of age.
Entry first
Sixteenth day of The Fall of Good Friends, in the seventeenth season of Abbot Renaullo
Today was grand. Me and my sister, Emerald found an interesting thing today, it was all blue and grey, round and smooth. I rapped it, and it seemed hollow. If it was a bird egg, it had to be a very old one, since there have not been any large birds living near the abbey in countless seasons. Also, it appears to be carved, with strange writing that not even Brother Sylnus the librarian can read, and he is older than the Teyrul Oak.
Supper calls, so I will get back to writing in this later.
Entry second
Twenty-third day of The Fall of Good Friends, in the seventeenth season of Abbot Renaullo
With all that has been going on these past few days, and my youngest sister, Agate hiding my journal, I haven't been able to write in it, only just having found it in the cellars, of all places! Enough rambling and let's get down to what for, as Old Melve would say.
I can't wait for the feast of Matthias! There will be much delicious food, so my nose tells me. I am going to be helping Haqsuache with a giant Haqsuache's Surprise! That hare is always coming up with one concoction or another, especially culinary!
Off to the kitchens I go! I shall return this evening, if I'm not too full from pilferings!
Entry third
Twenty-fifth day of The Fall of Good Friends, in the seventeenth season of Abbot Renaullo
It appears I've been kept busier than I'd thought! I'm snatching a few minutes to quickly scrawl out an entry before the feast begins! A group of traveling players arrived not long ago. How exciting! They are such a jolly lot, wot wot! (their leader's a hare and he was teaching me harespeech. I'd say I'm quite good at it already!)
Here comes Friar Donall, so I'd best be off! Happy Feast of Matthias!
Entry fourth
Twenty-fifth day of The Fall of Good Friends, in the seventeenth season of Abbot Renaullo
As I sit here, resting my tired footpaws, I am watching the troupe practicing as final preparations of the feast are being made. Looking at all that delicious food is making my stomach growl. With all that's been going on all day, I have forgotten to eat a single morsel. Better prepared for the feasting, I suppose. Maybe I'll beat that greedy shrew, Tograwd for once! Come to think of it, I haven't seen Tograwd or his fellow shrews all day and it's nearing eventide. If they are not here soon, they'll miss the feast!
My mother has suggested I take this journal with me and capture the feast so I can relive it again seasons from now. Where to start?
The feast looks to begin soon and I can see a mass swarm as we head for the tables and find our seats. Now seated, as I survey the spread before me, breathing in the aromas, I can't help but be a bit proud of the comments being made about my creations. Abbot Renaullo is complimenting my soup and even Friar Donall is eyeing my buttercup flan appreciatively! Wait, what is this? The pretty squirrelmaid Florea is looking my direction! She's smiling! Smiling at me!
Sorry about that. Where was I? Oh yes, I need to be focusing on the feast.
The feast is, simply put, a masterpiece. Bright lanterns are hung beside each table that is groaning with cheeses, breads, soups and a multitude of mouthwatering desserts and drinks, from october ale to strawberry fizz! With full plates and filling bellies, there is merry conversation and jokes. I am seated between Mortvil, a vole and Brother Bentwup, a jolly mouse. Mortvil isn't much for conversation, so Bentwup and I chatter on over a variety of topics, with much drinking to the Abbot's health, the good weather and whatever other reason crosses Bentwup's mind. Conversation is paused as there is a call for silence from Torwhill Derille, the leader of the visiting troupe stands. He flourishes his cane elegantly before speaking
"Good abbeybeasts all, my troupe have planned several entertainments for this memorable night, which we hope you enjoy! First, the mole beauties Fairfurrow and Mimlum will sing a song composed by yours truly, in memory of the great warrior we honor with this feast!" he gave a flourishing bow as the two molemaids stepped onto the stage. These are the words of their song, and I must say, they had some of the most heavenly voices I've heard!

The ISW has certainly covered the feral cat debate before (should we neuter them, should we hunt them, should we euthanize them...) but this report over at khou.com delves in deep enough to be worth a read. Focusing on the controversy in Galveston, Texas over efforts to trap, neuter and release the feral cat populations there, the article manages to cover several important issues, from the difference between ferals and strays, the impact of cats on wild birds, and the high cost of cat sanctuaries.
Labels: animals, feral cats, Texas
From a fellow biologist - Thanks for that link. Here in the northeast, the huge intersection between those who are obsessive backyard birdwatchers, and those who are obsessive "feral cat rights" activists is bizarre and ongoing. I've even heard cat-friendly folks cite evolution..."only the weak and sick songbirds are caught by house cats." Classic! Thanks again.

A Life Worth Living (3 of 24) by Jerry Watts
This content is part of a series.A Life Worth Living (3 of 24)
Series: How to Do Life
Jerry Watts
James 1:3-8
• There is a story of two garment workers in New York City. One was a cutter and one was a stitcher. They were working side by side. They got to talking about vacations. One said he was looking forward to his vacation and the other said he was not going on a vacation this year. The question was asked, "Why?" "I went to Africa last year. I went elephant hunting." "Did you get any elephants?" "No, I found an elephant. He charged me, but my gun was jammed, and I was killed." The cutter gave a stunned look at his friend and said, "What are you talking about, you was killed? You aren't dead. You're sitting here living!" And the other fellow looked down at his scissors, looked across at the needle and fabric in his friend's hands and replied: "You call this living?"
• Jesus said, "I am come that you might have life and have it to the "full." That means in Him we can not only have a life but we can really "LIVE."
• As we have seen, James (the half-brother of Jesus) points his reader to take a look at the difficult life they were living and to understand how God was using those difficulties to make them into what HE wanted them to be. The 'scattered saints' to whom James was writing were experiencing a great deal of persecution. Trial, testing, and troubles on every hand were filling their lives and as a result, they were having problems understanding what was happening and they were having difficulties praying for God to give the understanding to what all of this meant. Quite likely, they were becoming discouraged and some it may seem were coming to the point of 'giving up.' Is this all there is?
• Some of us would understand this type of thinking. Is this all there is? Is my life going to continue being so difficult? Is it really worth it? How do I learn from this? Possibly some would say, 'is this life really worth living?'
• If this question has even just flas ...

Avril Lavigne
June 27, 2011 by Post Team
Avril Lavigne, Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley cannot be divided, as usual, like other previous partners. The singers, who were married three years ago, were recently photographed affectionately embraced on a yacht in Saint Tropez, France
Lavigne has been vacationing on the French Riviera in recent days with some friends. He spent most of the cooling time on the yacht and mingling with friends that Friday, June 24 included former husband. Her boyfriend, Brody Jenner, was not observed in any of the days.
According to Radar Online, Lavigne bikini bent over and "put her hand affectionately on Whibley's womb." I could barely keep the smiles on their faces as they hugged and flirted with close friends.
Lavigne is unlikely that Brody had left because they were seen together last week in Toronto, Canada, where he performed at Much Music Awards. They have been dating since February last year and even each other's name tattooed.
In addition, Lavigne said of her ex, "I respect as an artist Deryck, and produced several songs on this album [Goodbye Lullaby]. He did a really amazing. We're great friends and am grateful for the relationship."

Brazos River Farm - With Minerals
Now available with minerals.
The historical Buck Creek Farm on the Brazos River has not been available since 1880! This is a very rare offering of a large live water ranch with stunning views, wildlife-rich wooded terrain, and very fertile soils located in an extraordinary bend of the river between Lake Granbury and Lake Whitney. It is located near the community of Nemo, just outside of Glen Rose. The property is peaceful and quiet, and has been manicured and kept pristine. It is a very productive piece of property.
Water: Buck Creek boasts 1/2 mile of Brazos River frontage, and being on the inside lower edge of the river bend, it has great access to the river. There are three water wells. One near the river at 325 depth was drilled in 1966 and produces roughly 25 gpm with a static depth of 70. Two were drilled in 1988, each at about 375 depth that produce about 12 gym with a static depth of 200. The average annual rainfall is 32 inches.
Capacity: The ranch has historically been able to carry approximately 350 cows, and it can produce about 1,800 2,000 rolls of hay each season during normal years.
Improvements: The main home is a 1920s stone farmhouse that was remodeled with two new additions in 1990. It has approximately 3,850 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, two wood-burning fireplaces, central heat and air, an alarm system and a steel roof. Historical windows and other features of the home originated from local cavalry camps, hotels, and a sanitarium near Cleburne. There is a guest cabin that overlooks the creek with about 1,800 square feet and a steel roof. It was remodeled in 2008, also has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. There is also a large metal barn with about 5,500 square feet of work and storage space. Other features of the ranch include two sets of working pens in great condition, buried power to the main home, and a paved blacktop ranch entry road.
Land: The productive coastal bermuda fields in the Brazos River bottom are remarkable. The primary soil types consist of very shallow, clayey soils, and deep loamy and alluvial soils. Cottonwood, pecan, bur oak, and black walnut trees can be found along the areas that gradually slope down to the river banks. Buck Creek Farm is 1/2 mile wide and 3 miles long, in the shape of an original river survey.
Location: The farm is located 10 miles East of Glen Rose, just south of Highway 67. It is 50 miles from Fort Worth, and 70 miles from Dallas or Waco.
Minerals: 20% minerals and a surface use agreement are available with an acceptable contract. There is not any current production.
Taxes: The farm is assessed with an agricultural valuation, with taxes of approximately $5,000 per year.

Dr. Myers completed her Ph.D. in 2009 from the University of Arizona. Her emphasis area is gender and the family, with a focus on low-income fathers. Her research focuses on how men negotiate relationships with multiple sets of children. She has published three papers in the area of low-income fathers. The first found that low-income fathers tend to prioritize a small subset of their children in order to maximize their impact. Her second used Foucauldian theory to investigate how these men comply with or resist government surveillance. A third looks at how they define good fathering and finds that they use a novel model of good fathering that does not use breadwinning or caregiving as a measure of quality. Dr. Myers has also published about gender differences in foster parent satisfaction, food deserts, and teaching. In 2013, she received Arkansas State University's Teacher of the Year Award. Dr. Myers lives in Sierra Vista, Arizona.

Denise Fleisch's Lotus Contemporary Art Gallery to Reopen in Scottsdale
Denise Fleisch working on getting her new Scottsdale gallery ready for its first exhibition.
Lynn Trimble
Lotus Contemporary Art gallery is relocating to Scottsdale. Gallery owner and artist Denise Fleisch will reopen the space, previously located in the Roosevelt Row arts district of downtown Phoenix, on Thursday, October 6, with an exhibition titled "Unraveled" at 7077 Main Street #6.
Lotus Contemporary Art, Five15 Arts, and Galleria Celtica were forced to shutter at the end of August after the building they occupied at Roosevelt and Fifth streets was purchased by new owners. Soon after, Fleisch began showing her works at V Tixi Gallery in Scottsdale, one of several galleries located in the 7077 Main Street building in Old Town.
Now she's moving those works into her own studio and gallery space, and creating 14 new works she'll feature in her first official show there, described in exhibition materials as "an art show after love and loss." The past year has been a tumultuous one for Fleisch. Her mother passed away. Her studio space caught fire. And she lost her downtown Phoenix art space.
The former Lotus Contemporary Art space in Roosevelt Row.
Lynn Trimble
"It's a fresh start," Fleisch says of opening the new space.
Fleisch says she'll be showing primarily her own works, but may also present some group exhibitions. She signed a one-year lease during the last week of September and immediately set about painting beige walls white and ordering new Lotus Contemporary Art signage to hang outside the gallery entrance.
She's keeping the name Lotus Contemporary Art in part because its logo was designed by local artist and graphic designer Tad Smith, whose paintings include pop art-inspired portraits of Fleisch and other metro Phoenix community members.
Standing on Main Street, looking in at what will become the new Lotus Contemporary Arts gallery.
Lynn Trimble
Lotus Contemporary Art is one of several galleries located in the 7077 Main Street complex.
Tilt Gallery, created by Melanie and Michelle Craven, relocated to the Scottsdale complex from the Grand Avenue arts district in late 2014. Other occupants include Blink, Carstens, and Quantum Art. All surround a central courtyard that currently features works created by several artists for the IN FLUX Cycle 6 public art program.
The downtown Scottsdale gallery scene has experienced several changes during the past year. Geoffrey Gersten opened his new gallery in February. Others, including Touchstone Gallery and May Gallery, have closed. And gallery owners opposed to Artisan Markets, the tented marketplace on the Scottsdale Waterfront, convinced the Scottsdale City Council to curtail such events.
Getting a peek inside the new Lotus Contemporary Arts before it opens.
Lynn Trimble
More changes are coming, too.
Wilde Meyer Gallery, located on Marshall Way, is currently undergoing renovations. And Scottsdale Public Art is working with local artist John Randall Nelson on a new piece of public art to anchor the downtown arts district that's already home to Ed Mell's iconic Jack Knife sculpture.
The "Unraveled" exhibition at Lotus Contemporary Art opens October 6 and continues through October 27. Gallery goers can see Fleisch's works from 6 to 9 p.m. during Scottsdale ArtWalks on Thursday nights. But the gallery will also be open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Chocolate-Banana Cheesecake-Shake
READY IN: 15mins
Recipe by Entropy
Cheesecake-Shake? Yes, another one of my weirder Ideas. I liked it at the time, but I honestly don't know what other people would think of it. I'm not sure why I posted it.
Top Review by Annacia
It took a couple teaspoons of Splenda to do the sweetening to my taste. I used just cocoa powder as I haven't seen malt in ages. Also used a frozen banana so it would be good and cold. Love the cream cheese, banana and chocolate, Yummm. Made for Comfort Cafe, Summer 09.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup skim milk
- 2 tablespoons fat free cream cheese
- 1 banana, peeled
- 1 tablespoon chocolate malt powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon Sweet 'n Low
Directions See How It's Made
- Mix milk and cream cheese in blender.
- Add other ingredients.
- Pour into a glass.
- Place in freezer to chill.
- You could experiment by substituting the banana with 1/2 cup of strawberries or other fruit, but I haven't tried doing this yet.
- It could affect the texture.

Here, I'll talk about the vocations and how to use/misuse them and their pros and cons. First up, the Minstrel.
How to read:
LRW - Least Recommended weapon
RW - Recommended weapon
CDG- Coup De Grace
Minstrel: Minstrel, you can't really go wrong with this one. But how you can is.....
Recommended weapon: Sword. Gigaslash works well thanks to Minstrels' nice MM (Magical Might).
Least recommended weapon: Fans. Doesn't bring out the full potential of their locked might.
Good time to use Coup-De-Grace (CDG): When with critical HP. Easier to avoid hits, thus lasting longer in the field.
- A Priest's backup
- Zinger
- MP attacker
- Everything!
The pros of this vocation are....
- All stats raise
- It's available early in the game
- Their unique skill set raises different stats each time
- They learn healing spells, attacking spells, and can be offensive themselves.
The cons of this vocation are....
- The stats raise, but not a lot
- They can't equip many of the very powerful weapons (Sword is really good though)
- They don't have the highest HP.
So, a Minstrel is recommended if you aren't planning on using any of the quest-obtained vocations.
Next, we move on to the Mage.
Recommended weapon: Wand. With such a low attack, all the chance they have is sucking MP.
Least Recommenended weapon: Knife. Why did they even give Mages this weapon? Morag is a mage, and look at the cruddy damage she deals. Whips at least thin out the enemy a little.
When to use CDG: In a battle where you'll be using Oomph and MP-consuming spells a lot.
You can misuse a mage in quite a few ways....
- A whipping boy
- A main attacker (Like with Knives and such)
- A healer
- A person to use selflessness and forbearance
You can use it as a....
- Spell offence
- Backup healer (Wand ability-- Caduceus)
The pros of a Mage are...
- A respectable amount of Agility
- A lot of MP
- Many, many attack spells
The cons are....
- Low defence and HP.
- Pitiful strength
- Most of the time, they can't take a hit.
Martial Artist
Martial Artists are very popular for those who don't take extra vocations, though you can do better with Gladiators and Paladins.
RW: Claws + Fisticuffs. They deal ultra damage with this combo, fisticuffs for elemental enemies and other situatians
LRW: Staff. At least fan might trigger their CDG more often.
CDG: When the MA has 50 tension. 100% of the time it'll get max tension.
- Healer
- Shielder
- Buffer/Oompher
- Main attacker
- Fisticuffs + Claws
- High Attack and Agility
- OK Defense
- Can take a hit.
- Level up quickly
- Can use Meditate to heal themselves
- They have (Da-da-da-da!) Psyche Up
- Won't work well with any weapon except Claws (Or Fisticuffs)
- Have considerably low MP (Although they don't use any MP consuming attacks, still it can run out pretty quickly in the field)
Priests are a must on any team, as they are the only ones that have access to Omniheal and Fullheal.
RW: Spear. It brings out the best of them.
LRW: Wand. They already have low strength, you wanna finish em off? No.
CDG: When you need a multiheal and out of MP and can't get any more because I was so stupid to put Wand as least recommended and your stupid for listening to me. Jk, just when you don't wanna spend any MP because you really need it and/or you're cheap.
- Main attacker
- Magic Offensive
- Healers
- Side attackers
- Have OK Lv.99 strength to say the least
- Work well with Spears.
- Large Magical Mending
- OK Agility
- Low Defence
- Low HP
- Can't take a hit.
Theives are up next. This class is one of the "Lesser-used" vocations, because it is out-classed by any class with high HP and Deftness. Usually, people only invest about 10 skill points for Half-Inch. But a Thief can be a bomb powerhouse.
RW: Knife. It's a good weapon for them
LRW: Sword. I know, I know, UFB/Falcon Slash, but listen. You won't deal that much damage anyway, because the UFB and Thieves both have low attack.
CDG: Anytime you can spare a turn.
- Main healers
- Stat raisers
- Forbearancers
- Half-Inchers (duh)
- Walls
- Attackers
- Massive amount of Deftness
- High HP
- Have a bit of Magical Mending
- Along with a nice attack, they have squelch
- Can't equip shields, which is bad because their defense is sorta average
- Mostly equip deftness-helping items, which affects there defense
- Not the most...charming ones.
Warrior is the best vocation out of the regulars and even pretty good after you've unlocked them all. They're kinda like combinations of Gladiator and Paladin. Warriors are so easy to use.
RW: Any.
LRW: None.
CDG: When you think the enemy is almost dead or close to it.
- Healer
- Back liners
- Oomphers
- Main Attaker
- Wall
- Forbearancer
- Can equip shields, further improving their defensive abilities
- Amazing attack and defense
- Can equip heavy armor
- Low agility
- Low deftness
- Low charm
Ah, Paladin. Almost a must in any team. Some skyrocket stats, and some abyssmal.
RW: Hammer, which completely brings out attack potential
LRW: Wand, what the heck do you need MP for?
CDG: When 1 or more characters are at critical HP.
- Yggdrasil leafer/dewer
- Back Liner
- Excellent Forbearancer
- Side Healer
- Side attacker
- Wall
- Best Defense in the game
- Over average attack
- Can equip shields and decent weapons
- Amazing virtue skills!
- Horridly low agility
- What deftness?
More later.

This discretionary bumble made the best setback of the Bush organizations War on Terror – the little thought paid to the complexities of tribal culture and the savage resistance with which the Pashtuns have truly indicated towards remote intrusion.The Pashtun tribe is the biggest ethnic gathering in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Their geographic district stretches out along the fringe from northern Pakistan into southern Afghanistan. The Pashtuns are generally a savage and exceptionally glad individuals, as they have removed any semblance of Alexander the Great, the British Empire, and the Soviet Union from its old turf. The Pashtuns represent themselves on the Pashtunwali, the customary tribal code that entirely administers conduct and individual respect.
Video Source : http://iviralvids.com/road-accident-shameful-act-mkml-video/
it additionally gives warm friendliness to guests – consequently why their Muslim siblings of the Taliban were invited after the oust of the Afghan government in 2002. In addition, they are glad Muslims and hold fast intently to the Islamic law, traditions and qualities.
The Pashtuns today, my partner Frankie Martin notes, 'feel undermined by the Pakistani government and military, made chiefly out of urban ethnic Punjabis; the administration in Afghanistan, made mostly out of Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Hazaras'.
