Cranky-D

Too bad that college girl who dumped her newborn in the toilet didn’t just have it aborted a few weeks earlier. That way she wouldn’t be charged with murder.

I feel sorry for the poor little mouse, but he’s in the trap right now. I came home after a night out, and the trap sprung on one of my fuzzy friends. He is long dead.

It’s too bad. I wish I could do a catch an release, but these little guys will move in and take over. Best to end it now before they bring in their friends to the good life.

I will empty the trap tomorrow. I don’t feel like doing it now. So the body will remain in sutu until tomorrow pm.

It isn’t that I have nothing to write about, it’s that I have nothing to write about that holds even my interest.

Since the last time I’ve been back to Southern California again on another working vacation. That laptop is probably one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. With it, I can not only get a lot of work done, I also don’t interfere as much with the normal life of my father, which involves using the computer often during the day. Of course, he just looks at email and plays solitaire, but it’s his thing.

My old game boy advance was such a help in getting the time to pass on the airplane, I decided to buy a game boy advance SP. I have wanted to get another advance for a while since some of the games I play require you to link two game boys together to transfer information from game to game sequel. I would have bought a DS, but you cannot link an advance to a DS. I will probably have to buy a DS anyway to play the latest role-playing games which are, of course, only coming out on that hardware.

I also went nuts and bought some console games. I hit that popular online auction site to get a gameboy adapter for the gamecube before I even owned a gamecube. I also decided to get a lot of games exclusive to the gamecube. Then, of course, I had to get the gamecube. It seemed natural. And, since there are a few titles you can only play on a playstation, I bought those titles and then the hardware. I bought as few used games as possible, and I hope they work. The only thing I didn’t buy online was the playstation, since I know what happens to $ony products; they break early and often. I bought retail so I could get a replacement warranty on the thing. I get 2 years full replacement for defective hardware. By then I hope the ps3 is cheap enough to consider, or that I will be tired of the whole thing and sell all the games. Again, almost all the games I bought were role-playing games, except for a few shooters and, of course, the evil grand theft auto.

The last console I bought was the sega genesis, back when I was… a lot younger. It was relatively new on the market at that time. So I think I’m entitled. Even if I am not, what is done is done.

Not a lot of time to play games, of course. I’ll have to work on that. It’s a matter of organization, I should think, and setting a proper schedule for myself. I probably have enough games to last me a good long while, years at the pace I’ve been playing lately. Plus I’m still considering signing up for World of Warcrack. It sounds like my kinda thing, really.

Right now we’re in limbo waiting for a reply on a funding option. If it’s yay, we’re set for a few years. If nay, we’ll have to find someone else. Giving up is not an option.

In other news, I’m pretty sure I have a new roommate. I did not invite him or her in, but mice are like that. I had a mouse two years ago. I didn’t mind having it running around until it found my almost full can of peanuts. By then it was too late, of course. I tried to catch it humanely, but then the mouse became mice and that was all over (I think I just heard my roommate now, skittering through the junk). I ended up having to kill four of them.

Tomorrow I will buy some Reese’s peanut butter cups. Mice really like the peanut butter in them, and I of course like it as well. I still have the killer traps.

I feel sorry for the mouse, but he is going down hard.

Halloween party this Saturday. I bought a wizard’s robe many years ago under the assumption that it would be my permanent costume. It’s airing out now. I starting growing my beard a few weeks ago and it’s filled in nicely, gray and all. I should look the part.

Update: Confirmed mouse sighting. I set a trap with Jalepenio Cheddar. We’ll see if he likes it as much as I do.
