Possum

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

We've got a possum! When you move into a house that's been vacant for over two years, you don't know what you'll find. Here are some of the things I found upon searching: a candle stick (no candle), a Bud Lite can, shattered pieces of the NES Rad Racer Wheel, and a possum.

He's living in our porch, which has a broken hot tub. I've still actually never been in that room after living here over a week. It's not from fear of the possum. I was trying to get in there to get a good picture of the possum for this very blog, but I couldn't get the door open.
He'd been eating the snow in there, but that all melted about three days ago. I haven't seen him since which means he either left to find other food, is hibernating, or is decomposing.

Reflections on Christmas

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Another Christmas has come and gone. Wanna hear what I got? No? Then stop reading.

So far, the second season of Saturday Night is the things I've got the most use out of. Hilarious. I'm without Wii right now, and there's nothing on TV so that's been my main source of entertainment. By the way, I'm correct in calling it Saturday Night, because it wasn't referred to as "Live" until a little later on.
Wii Points Card... I'm getting Super Mario Bros. 3, naturally. But I can't decide if I should get Yoshi Story or Super Mario 64... quite the predicament. I'm saving the other 500 points until they bring out Tetris.
The Simpsons Movie DVD - Widescreen - just the way I like it... but it gets better: it came with a collectible T-Shirt.
I don't know if you've ever read the David Feldman books, but they're these books that answer questions that people send in. So far, I know why washing windows with newspapers is good, why the call him Donkey Kong when he's an ape, and whether or not elephants jump.

I got a lot of great gifts this year!

That's Shocking

Friday, December 7th, 2007

I'm in the process of moving, so I was packing the stereo system. I had to untangle the stereo cord, from a Christmas tree light cord. Part of the Christmas tree cord had exposed wires which I didn't notice until the shock.
I emitted a girlish scream that faded into a high-pitched giggle when a numb tingling feeling tingled on my tingly finger. I now feel electricity running through my veins. I believe that this shock, combined with hundreds of thousands of hours of playing Nintendo, has given me super powers.
I vow to use my new-found powers only for good.


Thank you for visiting Maybe a Starbucks.
