"You're gonna be my new meat bicycle!"

          Today, Nathan and I discovered more evidence of the household mouse while playing a tight game of pong (I won narrowly.) We talked for a while longer. Eventually, I retired to play TF2 and Borderlands 2, still taking full advantage of Alaric's gaming rig. I forced myself out of my seat at some point after dark, walked over and fed Jules's cats (they recognize me now!) and came home to smoke again. I laid myself down to talk with Jennifer on the phone, lapsing in concentration and feeling entirely ready for bed.
