He was just here, talking to me about how he wants to get a cat. I said he mustn't, because of Responsibility, but he says no. He says a pet will make him feel like he actually lives in Cape Town. But I said a cat is forbidden and so he must think of a more sort of low maintenance animal. The problem with this obviously is that the more low maintenance an animal is, the less likely it is to love you. Like reptiles and fish and that. Birds are probably fairly low maintenance but also they are completely terrible, and once you get a bird it is only a matter of time before you are strolling around Checkers with your terrible depressed cockatiel on your shoulder, and it probably has this weird infection on its beak, and you're walking around in a brown parachute material jacket just waiting to die.

So no birds.
After he left, I saw the two tabs he had opened on my computer. This is them:

The wikipedia entry for "pet"! As if he is just checking to reassure himself that his idea of what a pet is conforms to the standard norm!
what a guy. What a seriously incredible person.
