I got another one hooked – Andrea, who now has a Nanoblog that looks amazingly like mine (interesting choice of a template!) is going to participate in NaNoWriMo. So is Mr. Dump (or so he says). Anyone else out there going to give it a shot after seeing me do it for the past two years?

Friday at midnight, baby!

I wish I could send our predicted 2-3 inches of rain out to California tonight. The San Diego fires are only about 3 miles from my father-in-law’s house, so I’m especially concerned about those. Actually, the whole thing is so horrifying to me – I can’t quite grasp how huge these fires are, how many acres they are consuming.

So no-wind, lots of rain vibes headed to the west coast today…

Wind and driving rain. Ahhh, Monday. At least it isn’t snow, right? Right?

My brother-in-law bought a Nintendo magazine over the weekend because they just got a GameCube. I don’t know that I was aware such a thing existed, but with Christmas looming, I grabbed it to peruse the potential gifts. One thing they had was a page dedicated to Animal Crossing, which we haven’t really played regularly since I stopped being unemployed. It’s the kind of game you have to play all the time, mainly because you don’t want to miss any special festivals and fun stuff, have weeds take over town or have your house become overrun with cockroaches. That’s right, you miss too many days in a row and your house gets cockroaches.

Well, we didn’t play most of the summer, which stinks because there are fish and bugs that you can only get in the summer (you want to get one of each for the museum, plus you can sell anything you catch.) But looking at the magazine, we realized that it has a whole Halloween element that we didn’t know about – special Halloween furniture! Halloween clothes! Candy for sale at Tom Nooks to give to Trick-or-Treaters! So Junior and I got all excited about the game again and actually played for a few minutes this morning. We have plans to play again tonight when we got home. Who says we don’t know how to have fun?

Oh, about the post title:

Q: How do you catch a unique rabbit?

A: Unique up on it.

Q: How do you catch a tame rabbit?

A: Tame way, unique up on it!

I didn’t see this one personally, and it’s probably good because I would have driven off the road laughing.

“PAP SMR”

Gah. Had to be a guy, cause even a female Gyno wouldn’t put PAP SMR on her license plate. Ever.

I’d like to thank the Florida Marlins for the early birthday present. I know my birthday isn’t until January (in case you’re looking, here’s my Amazon wishlist. Buying me the expensive stuff earns you more brownie points than the spatula, just FYI.

Oh, so anyway, great game, I hope Beckett wins the Cy Young just based on last night’s game. That was a thing of beauty, and I was particularly thrilled when he got the third out in the 9th on his own. Good game boys.
