Rest assured that i didn’t intend to harm the rodent, only to shoo it. In one of the two psychic events in my life today, i had already put mittens on before we spotted the mouse for the first time. The only other time in my life i dealt with a mouse was when i was four, also wearing mittens.
The other psychic twinge was using the same picture in my second-to-last post on Shafted that i used in my second post. Creepy, eh? Actually, the post was an excuse not to blog, and was rather amusing. Read it!
“I think the mouse is in the closet…”
“We have a gay mouse?”
“Well, most of my friends think you’re gay, so…”
It was at that point that i smacked Matt (aka Ethlin) with a flip-flop i was wielding against our new rodent friend. I think Amy (aka Zooey) was standing on the couch at that point, although i had offered her my stool. That was about the extent of the action, except for when i moved all of our stuff into the middle of the room to make sure the mouse wasn’t hiding behind anything.
In other news, i appear to have quit [or am taking a leave of absence from] Shafted This all stemmed from a rodent, and also a mouse that is hiding somewhere in the apartment as i type this. More news to come momentarily.
Took a few days off from the blog… and look what happens… blah. When i was little i never got sick from eating too many sweets; i just chalked it up to another myth parents use to keep the kids in line. Of course, now i’m nauseous from eating Reese’s Bites all day. Maybe parents just forget what it was like to be a kid, and assume that they always got sick from eating sweets.
Such forgetfulness could be the theme of the day, the way it looks so far.
