Vacation Over

So, I took another long vacation without telling my adoring fans (*crickets chirping*).  Anyway, the results on my first test are in, and after two weeks of waiting… only one person who searched with one of my adjectives came to the site.  “Unexplained thing in the air” is not at all interesting either.  As a matter of fact, this person could have searched “ufo” to say the same thing.  Uggh, failure.  Hopefully my second test will yield more satisfying results.

To make matters worse, two bad things happened to me recently.  First off, the power adapter to my laptop stopped working while I was on vacation, trying desperately to find a wireless internet connection to hijack.  According to my girlfriend fiancee, there was a spark; I only heard a pop and fizzle behind me.  This post is being written at work after hours– how pathetic.

Secondly, there is a boa on the loose in my building.  The upstairs tenant says he went missing a couple days ago, and that he might be getting hungry.

“Aaron”

Starting Sunday, I have to start babysitting my neighbor’s kid “Aaron” (I do not think I should use his actual name).  Aaron’s mother is going on a sort of vacation/retreat with a church group.  Thus, her son will stay home and I’ll keep an eye on him for the week.  I have a few duties as his babysitter:

• Drop him off to day camp on my way to work
• Pick him up after work
• No TV (his mother is a very strict parent)
• 9:00 is bedtime

He’s only eleven years old, and he knows how to cook his own dinner.  I’m quite impressed with him; he seems like a smart and, more importantly, a calm kid.
