Eek!! Eek!!

Last week we inherited a couch from Thomas' parents (he's the one in the wheelchair in the "Wii" post). It has been in their attic for who knows how long, but we were in need of a replacement. One day after bringing the couch into the house we noticed a little mouse. We caught it in a nice little trap that breaks their back when it closes. We tried some humane traps but they never worked. We were all happy until we noticed another one, this time in Ian's room.


Let me tell you about Ian. He is 6'1" and has lots of tatto0s. He is a big guy and does lots of MMA (think Ultimate Fighting Championships or "UFC"). He screamed like a little girl when he saw that mouse and it was especially funny since he was the only one to try and make his room mouse proof.

As of yesterday we have killed 5 mice. They are tiny little things (can fit inside a golf ball), we are hoping that doesn't mean they are babies! Luckily they aren't the size of the dead one that is in the attic above my bedroom...it is huge (think softball)!


I went bowling again and this time Thomas beat Ian and me.

I leave for Japan on the 8th of February.

Bowling II

After a week of not so much (went and saw No Country for Old Men and Juno) I went bowling again. This time with my friends Heather, Darby, and Darby's son Eli.

It wasn't as pretty as before but just as fun. It was a close game but Eli and I won (tied) but neither could break 100 :(

I leave Feb 8!!!

Wii?

After extensive practice bowling on the Wii I went out for a shot at the real thing. I went with my roommate Ian and his "client" Thomas who is wheelchair bound with cerebral palsy. After a couple of frames resulting in - - I got the hang of it. Bowling balls weigh a bit more than a Wii controller. The first game was a wash, but the second game I barely beat out Thomas for the highest score. GO Mii!!
Still searching for jobs but had a pretty good interview with a school in Japan the other night. We'll see what comes of it. If worse comes to worst, I will just head to Vietnam or Thailand and teach.

Other than that it has been life as normal. I take care of the dogs, read a bit and think about learning Japanese and Spanish.

Adios!　上あっ！！
