Recycled

I'm back again with a post, yes a post, any who my winter break went well i guess. I got Civilization 4, Age of Empires 3, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Absolute Sandman Vol.1, Final Fantasy XII, Lego Star Wars 2, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Justice League Season's 1 and 2, Justice League Unlimited Season 1, Black and White 2, Call of Duty 2 (yes not 3 Dylan), and that's about it, and some more graphic novels, most of that i bought with gift certificates, almost all of it actually, but oh well. Also bought the Squid and The Whale which is one of my top 10 movies, dark comedy of course, if you want to see it ask me, I'll be glad to lend the movie to you (although thane has it right now, and the Life Aquatic as well, i guess I've introduced him into the world of Dark Comedies and he seems to like them). In the radio station it's a common joke to put people's stuff in the recycling bin and well, mainly most of my stuff goes in there though, but anyways, i left three text books in there, after Val had put them there (although i was reluctant to get them out), i come in the next day and i can't find my textbooks, which would usually still be in there, turns out i owe about 195 dollars or possibly more to the school for losing them, shit, that 2 weeks worth of pay, but...i can't believe i lost 3 i mean I've never lost one before and the first time i do i lose 3. Oh well, really nothing to do here, it's a little late, i just finished all my programs for the quarter so my grade should go up significantly. At Hy-vee we had one Tickle Me Elmo 10th anniversary addition on Christmas Eve, so i decide to buy this fifty dollar toy for my brother, I'm excited to give it to him and as i walk into the house and show him the box he became instantly fascinated. When you pull the lid to the box up Elmo makes as sound "Help get me out of here it tickles to much" of course in turn i get him out for him, the instant he comes out and i turn him on, my brother screams in terror as Elmo begins to...well..giggle? more like having a seizure on the floor and possibly no joke suggestably masturbating. He screams and runs up stairs. My thirteen year old sisters and 16 year old cousin are simply fascinated by it though and they begin to play with it and eventually almost torment my little brother(Josh). He was deeply terrified, my parents set some cookies on the table and told Josh to go and get them but as he ran to the table he realized the Tickle Me Elmo was on the top, so he in turn turned around to quickly tripped on his head got up in fear and ran to my dad and step-mom and asked for them to get him the cookies. My dad says "Why can't you get them?" my brother responds (note he's 3 years old) "ELMO!" and points his finger in the direction fo the table. Obviously i wasted 50 dollars, one of these days i'm going to bring it to school, when i don't know, but i eventually will. Well that's all i have to say for now i guess, kind of shorter post though. And for this post's picture: The Question, who is a detective with no face. Enjoy.

Maybe as your brother gets older, fear of Elmo will fade and curiosity will kick in instead. At least that's how I feel about Tickle Me Elmo.
I just talked to you in the radio room and we discussed free food.
This is Joanna, by the way.
The Elmo makes me laugh. And though I am sorry about your textbooks, maybe it would help if you didn't put them in other people's cubbies...
Best of luck with paying the debt, and have a wonderful weekend.
And get ready for Improv Extraordinaire on Monday.
