but it had to be done.

Sidekick = my DK.

That’s right, I figured it out.
None of that end of the world BS! I found out the REAL reason why the Maya were making such a big deal out of 2012.

They predicted the remake of The Neverending Story!

That’s right.

Look at the evidence and weep! :O

Srsly, it’s the truth!

So last night as I was about to go to bed I started hearing these weird thumps in the bedroom. It sounded a little like dripping but not quite, it was heavier than that. So I got up and walked to where it seemed to be coming from. Then it stopped and started again on the opposite side of the room. So I figured I must’ve misheard and went to the new place. It stopped and now it seemed to be coming from inside a wall on yet another side of the bedroom. Walked over there. Stopped and started again from what seemed to be up in the loft.

I chased it around like that for about a minute or so. Then I needed a sanity check. So I called Mord who was still downstairs. He came up and I asked him to verify this weird sound. He heard it too and it seemed to be moving around for him too. It would actually pop up near me when he’d walk around on the other side of the room. We both kinda went WTF and weren’t sure what to do about it since we couldn’t figure out WTH it was.

Chased it around the room a few more times until suddenly it stopped entirely. Then I moved and it started again. Right below me in the floor. So I moved back to where I was. Stopped again. So I stepped away, got down onto the floor to put my ear against it and I heard it very clearly. And then the light bulb went on and I went: “Is the ceiling fan in the kitchen on?” and mord lol’d and confirmed it. It’d been on the high setting and it gets a little unstable on that setting so the base knocks on the ceiling a bit. So he went downstairs to turn it off and the mystery sound was gone.

The way our place is built makes the acoustics incredibly weird sometimes. That combined with me standing on parts of the floor which apparently affected the fan below made for a very interesting mystery hunt lol. Really should have TAPS come out here. Bet they’d find all sorts of ‘paranormal activity’ here.

This made me laugh:

But for some reason, watching this right after made me laugh even harder XD :

I know you like crashing my blog BUT THIS IS GOING TOO FAR! >:(
Don’t make me call Cesar on you!

So most of you know Sophie absolutely loves the snow.
We’ve had quite a bit of it today so I let her in the back yard for a bit so she could run around in it like mad like she always does.

Unfortunately she misjudged the height of the snow next to the house today…

That’s ok though cause apparently she has these amazing transformer like powers and turned into a jetski/snowmobile right after so she could continue her snow insanity.

Our dog is such a lunatic.
Guess that’s why she fits in so well. :S

So this week has sucked so far.

Monday: It was pretty stormy and I woke up all mucusy with a sore throat so I started the day slow. I was sitting at my desk playing WoW when I suddenly heard this loud cracking sound. My first thought was that it might be either a tree snapping or possibly lightning. About a second later the power went out. So I got up, looked outside and saw that one of the electrical poles across the street had snapped in two. Figured I’d call the electric company until I started seeing smoke… and weird flashing colors. Turns out the wire was still live, hanging low over the road and setting the neighbors’ bushes on fire. Or trying to anyway, it was pouring down pretty hard but the sparks didn’t stop and neither did the smoke.

So since I couldn’t see much in the dark I figured: “Screw finding the power company’s number” and I called 911 instead. I didn’t want people driving their cars into that live wire on their way out to work or the neighbor’s house catching fire. Turns out someone had already called it in and both the electric co. and a fire truck were already on their way. Unfortunately it took them all freaking day to get the power back on. They had to replace the pole and were doing work down the street too so I guess a lot got blown out. So yeah, the day was spent with a fire going and me trying to keep myself entertained with candles, a blanket, my camera and my DS. I’ve changed my mind about electric stoves being handy after that day No microwave, no stove and no heat made for a very lousy tea and soup-less Flu day.

Tuesday: I’d forgotten about our dentist appointment. So meh, after the day before I so wasn’t in the mood but decided to go anyway and get it over with. Ended up with half my face numb. We decided to at least have a nice lunch after. I got my fav. at the sushi place nearby, Beef Negimaki (what can I say, I’m not much of a raw fish person :P). Unfortunately with half my face numb it was a huge pain to actually manage to eat and then I ended up swallowing a crunchy piece of beef which I thought I’d chewed properly but hadn’t so it felt like a little razor blade sliding down my throat. Had trouble eating and even just swallowing in general for the rest of the day. That combined with my flu not getting any better = +100 points on my “Oh boy aren’t we having fun today!”-meter.

So anyway, today’s Wednesday and even though the flu is still going I’m hoping the day will be nice and uneventful.

Wish me luck

PS. Workmen and vehicles in the dark + camera + shaky flu arms makes for pretty abstract photo art

Shameless :/

So I took a few more bear shots yesterday when the bear dropped by again. The camera settings were all screwey so they went a bit blurry, anyway, this was one of them.

Then this morning someone gave me a silly idea when I was playing WoW.
And since I was bored… I opened Photoshop and spent way too much time actually doing it

See? Deez doesn’t play WoW all the time, she gets out once in a while
