renovation

Wii are famiLii
how am I supposed to loosen up to kill bunnies on the dancefloor without bloody marys?
about a Wiik ago, in a supply and demand induced frenzy, Sane Half bought a Nintendo Wii. it wasn't really his fault. it was the fault of Mii partners in crime who had been searching in vain for the wiley Wii. folloWiing leads to stores that were sold out. interrogaTiing employees about the next possible shipment. offeRiing bribes. coercing friends to also Kiip their eyes and ears to the ground.
stirring tHii deeply entrenched consumer/video game addiction in us both.
and now I have Wii elbow (Wiibow?) from playing too much Zelda and tennis. and I find myself typing strange lines:
how am I supposed to loosen up to kill bunnies on the dancefloor without bloody marys?
changes and conversations
from the outside, it probably seems pretty dark around here. and I guess in some ways it is.
oddly, it's also pretty light around here. in equal an opposite amounts.
there are changes afoot.
they are not the kind of changes I like.
because I like changes to be sweeping, irrevocable, dramatic, and fast. but these changes plod along like a twice lame turtle. I have no patience for turtle time. incremental is not in my dictionary. I want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and just shrug and apologize as I'm walking out the door.
now you're wondering wtf I'm talking about, right?
and for those few of you who actually know what I'm talking about, thank you for your patience with me.
ANYWAY.
the series I've been posting (conversations with family) is meant to be dark humour. black comedy. or whatever you want to call it. some of them don't quite hit the mark, I think, but it's therapeutic anyway. and laughing is the only way I know to remove the burrs from under my saddle.
