A Monkey Weekend

Phaye is having a weekend sleep-over with Space the capuchin monkey. She’s doing part of Tom and Sia’s capture and cataloging of the Being & Nothingness Cams images while keeping Space and fed and occupied. He’s starting to act like a real monkey, making soft hoots, then eeking shouts, moving constantly, pulling everything apart.


Phaye looks like her hair exploded. Space has been grooming her and is having trouble dealing with her long hair. He’s terrific at getting to her scalp and checking for tasty bits, but then gets his nails caught in the curls and pulls until he gets his finger free. Phaye has a headache.


She asked where the hell Space's “parents” are--it’s not like he’s a hamster. I agree. Really, if you owned a monkey wouldn’t you notice if he was gone?
