Long day yesterday, ending in my Da’s birthday dinner. 73 years old and I still see him as a 50 yr old tail-chasing authority figure. He tells me that he’s going to get rid of the car (which is now only accessable by the passenger side, something is wrong with the driver’s door). Oh to have a higher paying job. While typing that last bit I felt somewhat trailer-trashy but he’s getting around fine without it and it’s just “a drain on the inheritance” as he says. <\/p>\n

I get home and lift my man-bag off my shoulders to see *ZIP* a small black smudge move in my periferal vision. Did I just see a mouse? Yes. I did. It tried to climb up over my cables by the TV. Now, I’m no caricature of some 50’s housewife screaming on a chair, but I did feel uneasy about walking ’round my apartment barefooted. I called the Super this morning and told them about the little guy.<\/p>\n

Apparently a mouse requires a work order to be filled out. I am glad that they’re sticklers about not entering your unit without permission (I bet they’ve been burned in the past) but couldn’t they just slip the sticky trap under the door or something?<\/p>\n

To take my mind off my furry squatter, a friend showed me the as-not-yet-aired Family Guy episode that will be shown this Sunday. Fans will not be disappointed. The formula is unchanged: Terriffic Jeppetto and Pinoccio visual joke. Tom Tucker’s upsidedown face kid! The evil monkey in the closet! Jasper. the extremely creepy old guy from Chris’ paper route! The animation quality seems to have been raised a tad and best of all: Stewie and Brian ARE BACK! Brilliant writing for these two characters makes them deserving of their own show. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
