I'm fairly certain that my sister is trying to make me fat. She has brought pie home from work at least twice a week since Caspian went to England. I like pie just as much as the next person, but a man can only eat so much pie. I may have to start looking into a gym membership if she keeps this up.

I've found assisting at a local shelter to be a very healing experience. I've been able to pick up my tools again. I no longer feel sick at the smell of sawdust and paint. Though it may be over for curry. There is a bit of light at the end of this tunnel.

Although I did run into an old friend the other day, and that has sent my head spinning.

I wonder if I might ultimately return to law. The idea has been bouncing about. I feel that I need a change. The people at the shelter know me as Ben, for example. I'm still not sure why that was what popped out of my mouth.

So apparently "to see aliens in your dream signifies that you are having difficulties adapting and adjusting to your new surroundings. You are feeling 'alienated' and disconnected."

Or I've just been watching too many paranormal reruns before bed.

Either way, my name's Siri. I guess I'm not going to get a more glaring sign to try to be social. Suppose this is the place to do it, yeah? Anyone else having crazy dreams?

Merryweather

Navi is unhurt. She was able to take care of herself.

For those worried about Merryweather's cousin Navi, she's okay.

I may have found giant sized Periodic tables for my wallpaper in my room. Today is a good day.

My folks are still gone on their vacation thingy-madjiggy, and the house is big, creaky, and empty. Thank god Elsa's staying with me, but when she heads out it's like... BOOM. Big, Empty House. The hallways echo and stuff.

...I really need to stop watching scary movies when I've got the dark, empty house to myself. :(

I don't understand that new reality/dating/whatever show, I Wanna Marry Harry. These woman don't realize that isn't actually Prince Harry? Has anyone else seen the commercials for this show? I just don't get it.

Who was it that recommended that Penny Dreadful show on here? Because OH MY GOD. I'm going to have nightmares!

I spent the better part of today's quarterly Skype call with our Japan division messing around with Google's Rubik's Cube interactive doodle.

I solved it so many times within that hour I lost count. Which is weird when I've only played with a Rubik's Cube a handful of times as a kid and I remember it took me much longer to solve. Wonder if this has anything to do with my apparently 80's era dreams...
