Busy Night

Two things were supposed to happen today. One: go to the launching of FCCY's latest album at Xavier school, then have dinner with Russell and Beth afterwards. EXCEPT Russ called last night and said they couldn't make it, so neither did I. Two: possibly watch the premiere of the new Jackie Chan movie The Tux with Boit (he was manning a wedding booth at Megamall and Aissa gave him a couple of tickets courtesy of Wilson). EXCEPT no one could take me to Megamall (not that I really wanted to, anyway, hence the previous "possibly"), so that idea was out.

In hindsight it's good I never left the house, otherwise I wouldn't have been around for the two other things that happened instead. One: Albert stopped by the house with all the Ebay stuff I ordered that Jeff's in-laws brought back from California. Sweet! Even the Fight Club DVD was among the packages! (Mental apology to "dashopping.") Two: After watching Ice Age (care of Imesh, because the Changing Lanes file turned out to be freaking Dungeons & Dragons) I caught the rat that's been running around the office. I trapped it with the floor rug just as it was about to escape through the sliding doors. I was like the kid with his finger in the dike as I waited for Pa to get a pair to long-nose pliers to grab the rat with. Instead he got the longsaw we use to cut the branches of the mango tree. I went to get some insecticide (Pa's idea), then Pa later got the wire cutters that looked like tongs. With the saw I ended up eviscerating the rat. In the end I put it in a plastic bag and tossed it over the other side of the house, only bag got caught on the barbed wire. Man, all this action and I've still got to get some exercise.
