The Nuts Are Running The Squirrel House

I went home this weekend.  I had rehearsal for the comedy show at the church in which I grew up, and I also got to hang out at home.  I mentioned in a previous post (either on this site or on my old Xanga site) that my goldfish Pucker lives at my Mom and Dad’s house in a refrigerator drawer.  I finally have a picture for you:

Kind of reminds me of that old joke where the man finds a rabbit in his refrigerator:

Man:What are you doing in my refrigerator?
Rabbit:  This is a Westinghouse, isn’t it?
Man: Yes.
Rabbit:  Well, I’m westing!

My fish is westing and welaxing with the other fish in the drawer, my sister’s fish, Big Eye.

I arrived back at my apartment at about 1 am this morning and went to bed.  My power went off sometime early this morning.  Good thing my alarm clock has battery backup.  Once I got up, I tried the faucet and found that the water pressure was still decent, so I thought I’d take a quick shower.  I forgot one important factor–when the power goes off, the water heater doesn’t work.  Sheesh.  I wasn’t about to start my morning with hypothermia.  Suddently the American spirit rose up in me.  **Start inspirational back ground music**  If Lewis and Clark could trek through the wilderness, If Washington’s troops could fight at Valley Forge, if a stoneworker could carve the faces of four presidents on the side of a hill, surely I could wash my hair in cold water.  **End inspirational music**  I filled up a bucket and washed my hair.

You’d think that by that time I’d be wide awake, but I felt the need for some McDonald’s coffee anyways.

Oh, yeah.  Premium Roast.
