History Channel's Top Shot finished tonight. The "kid" that won it is from a small town about 20 miles from my home. It's really pretty cool to actually know somebody that won something like this.

Dear Seth MacFarlane:

2 meters is the size of an average man. Therefore a womp rat would not be a "small animal".
 
So...huh.

My husband left for work today with out his wallet for the simple reason that the fucking thinking had apparently vanished from the face of the earth. I was tasked with finding it. I tossed the entire house looking for it only to come up empty.

I was getting frustrated, so when my husband called (shortly after Jet had gone to bed) to inquire about my progress I got rather snippy. We started to argue about it when I heard a rather loud thump from the dining area. I looked over and there was the wallet.

I cleaned off the table myself earlier in the day. It was bare, nothing but polished wood...yet there was the wallet. Dead center. I tell myhusband this. He has a lugh, calls us both blind and he hangs up. I'm baffled but I go to reach for it to put it in the sofa table drawer.

That's when the cat jumped on top of the table and started hissing at me. He had never done that before so I backed off, startled. THEN the TV turned on and went to the only mode that gives me static.

I'm still trying to process this when the front foor blows open scattering leaves from outside every where.

I don't believe in ghosts but...WHAT THE FUCK?!

2 meters is the size of an average basketball player.

@fade: Two meters is roughly the equivalent of 6'4'' if memory serves me, so no, that's not the size of an average man. Unless you're in Texas, if a Texan exchange student I resently met is to be believed.

@LittleSin: If Jet starts exhibiting powers over ice, cold-based powers or a penchant for swinging two-handed items, send him my way. I'll make him a hero that makes Thor look like an asthmatic little girl.

Or, you know, healing powers... for obvious reasons...

Yes, yes, yes, I know how big 2 meters is. I suppose I should've put "roughly" in there. In comparison to common everyday things, man is a close easily accessible analog. The point was that it's not a "small animal".
 
New fun things I've found for LittleSin!

;)
...Okay. This reminds me of another thing that happened recently.

I was cleaning our bed room and part of those duties, besides the obvious straightening of clothing and washing of bed sheets, it reorganizing 'the drawer'. What is 'the drawer'? It's a small collection of extremely pleasurable objects that we keep in the bed side table. My goal was to make everything easy to get at when your fumbling in the dark. :p

Any ways, Jet was with me while I was doing this. I paid him no mind. He was busy playing with his trucks on the floor and he had no idea what the items were anyway. I get to the part where I feel like I should disinfect everything REALLY good so I get up to go grab the rubbing alcohol.

I return, bottle in hand, to the sound of giggling and buzzing. Jet it smiling, holding a small vibrating bullet in his hand. I stare. He laugh and rubs it over his cheeks.

"Jet shave!" He exclaims, bouncing on my bed. "Mommy razor!"

Several thoughts flash through my head as I try to choose my reacting. I pick the calm and laughing one, not wanting to freak the little guy out and mess him up for life. I pried the thing from his little hands and place it back in the drawer. I then distracted him with another truck.

Our toys are now on a shelf in our closet, much to my husband chagrin.

Buried in a box in the server room, I found an ISA Sound Blaster 16. Boy that takes me back. You should see the size of this thing! It's almost as big as a keyboard!
