What?

By Roz Young, October 20 2011

            This blog was going to be titled “What I’ve Been Up To”, but I just left it the way you’ll actually feel when you finish reading this.
I’ve been playing Portal. It’s awesome. Matt too. Is playing Portal I mean. Oh, he’s also awesome. It’s too early to drink this much coffee. We’re on to Portal 2.

            We’ve also decided that we name pets now. Well, rename them. They start out with boring, lame names and we give them spectacular ones, with titles. For example, we ran into an adorable golden retriever, who might have actually been named Hailey, and we decided to call her Sergeant Perkins. Much better. You’re welcome people who can’t name their pets properly. There was also a crazy tiny puppy we called Admiral Tinkles. We work with a Carmen, and her giant Pomeranian is now called Commander Pufflebun.
Do you have a cat that looks like Chemistry Cat? His name is now Flufferton vonFuzzybuttons.
How about Business Cat, or rather Mr. Benjamin Wiggles-Jones, Esquire?
            In more exciting news, we did not lose by 12 this week while curling! Increasing our score infinitely from last week, in a sort of divide by 0 kind of thing, we lost 8-7. Or something, I stopped paying attention when it became apparent that we would not be getting free beer. I wonder if I could order butterbeer at the curling rink.
Spoiler: This cake is a lye!
 I had the thought this morning that we could solve a huge problem the geek world over by marketing nerdy bath products. Portal themed soaps, WoW shampoo, hobbit home care pedicure products… It’s an untapped market! Genius! I’d like the ladies section to have all the colours geek chic, because who doesn’t want nail polish in lightsaber green?
