I bought a Wii. I know, behind the times a bit but it is...well. Amazing. Technology is amazing.

Does anyone want to come play Mario Kart? It is my favorite game so far, I'd say. Wii sports is fine too but not quite as fun as Mario Kart. I've got four controllers and a pretty big TV and I could get snacks? If anyone is interested. I don't know if anyone would be.

It is almost eerie how cold and quiet it is outside. I feel safe, though, inside with my new security system, my dog and some good hot food.

Brendan, we're still on for Christmas dinner, right? I have your presents all wrapped up and everything.

Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day...

Oh if only. I mean, I like the rain and all at times but Sparky doesn't. He gets restless because I can't really take him on walks and then him being restless makes me restless and it is just a vicious circle. It also makes the bus I drive smell bad. Guess that is what happens when you put a ton of wet people into an enclosed space.

♪Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful♫

I'm excited because now that Thanksgiving has passed? All the stores are playing Christmas music. I love Christmas music, though only at this time of the year. If I were to listen to it all year around then it would lose it's special-ness.

Also? I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping which is exciting. I like to get it done early, just so I don't have to stress about being around huge crowds.

I really miss my dad some nights.

I know it's sort of weird for a grown man to be so childish but...my father was my best friend. He was the only one who understood and accepted me for me. We'd have drinks together, build things together, talk about physics and the theories we'd have and most of all we'd laugh together about the stupidest things.

It's been a few years now since he passed but I still feel like there is a big hole where he used to be. I can't just call him up when I'm upset anymore. I can't run to him and have him make me a cup of his specialty hot chocolate and talk me through whatever issue I'm having.

Of course I love the holidays but I also hate them because they remind me of how alone I really am.

I think it's sort of funny how stressed some people are getting over the election. Sure, I put in my vote (For Ralph Nader, actually, even though I know he won't win) but really I'm not concerned either way. I'm not the type to get fired up about politics. Whatever happens, happens and as long as I can live in my house and play my piano without being disturb...I don't care what happens with the government.

I'm just easily pleased, I suppose.

I think the heater in my house is broken because it's cold.

A cat wandered into my house this morning when I went to grab the paper. He'd a ratty looking old thing, black and white with part of his ear bitten off and a few scars on his legs. I have a feeling he probably has gotten himself into a lot of fights. Sparky seems to have taken well to the cat, though, who has made himself at home on my recliner.

I think I'm going to keep him. He seems nice. I'll just have to make sure I get him to the vet in the next couple days. Don't want him getting sick or making Sparky sick after all.

You know, he really looks like a 'Butch' or a 'Frank' to me. I'll have to really think about what to call him.

I don't think I ever want to go outside again...

It's common for someone to be able to lift things with their minds, isn't it? I mean, psychics and other people do it all the time...Well, maybe not common but it's certainly not all that uncommon is it? Because I think I may have somehow learned this ability without any training.

Why? Because I can lift things with my mind. It's not supposed to be scientifically possible but like my father always says, even crazy things are possible under the right circumstances...

Please tell me I'm not just going crazy...
