Quasi-recent updates

I updated more recently than I remembered, which is still not all that recently. A lot has happened. My computer´s hard drive died, to my immense frustration. My grandmother also died. Still waiting for my brontosaurus-like emotion on that one. I was fired as a children's magician due to gross incompetence, both on my part and the boss's. I am now a professional dog-walker. I actually enjoy it quite a bit. I walk about four hours a day, which does wonders for my insomnia and energy levels. One set of dogs that I walk are some sort of purebred lab retrievers. The neighborhood that I walk them through contains several embassies, Iraqi, Cuban, Jordanian, Ukranian, etc. The people who own the dogs have an enormous house, with multiple security cameras and infrared motion detectors, not to mention 24-hour armed security. I had to bring my passport to prove my identity. Just to walk dogs. But the park that I walk them in is incredibly nice, except for the dog shit everywhere. It's on a hill in the northeast of Madrid and on a clear day (which is most days in Madrid) you can see the Guadarrama mountain range that's on the northwest side of Madrid. My time runs out in 22 seconds. Adios, y'all.
