Since I have last updated, I have broken into my brother’s room, worked mad hours, purchased a bus ticket, watched two seasons of a TV show, and not done much else of consequence.
Let’s start at the top. I broke into my brother’s room, in which I have been staying while working here at the WOL Inn (and while he has been away in UKA). So anyway, when you lock your keys in the room, you have to be creative about reentry. I tried picking the lock with my knife, but that did not work, as the blade would penetrate far enough into the lock. I would have tried a smaller blade, but my smaller knife was attached to the key ring, and thus, not available to me.
So I did the next best thing, looked for a window to climb through. The room has four windows, but only one is accessible without a ladder. His room is on the second story of a two story building, but there happens to be a flight of steps below the one window. By standing on the railing of the steps I was able to cut through the plastic covering on the window (to protect from the cold), and then was able to open the window, which was fortunately unlocked.
So as I am half through the window, at night, hanging over nothing but about 14 feet of thin air I am thinking, “I sure hope no one comes by, how can I explain that I am not breaking in?”
So, anyway, I made it though the window without falling, and into the room, and thus ended that episode. Fortunately, I always make sure I leave a window unlocked in case I forget my keys.
Most of you haven’t seen it, but there was a TV show on from 95-99 called the “Pretender” and the basic premise was a supersmart guy was kidnapped as a kid, taught to be this pretender who could become anyone, a doctor, lawyer, hitman, anything, and they used him to “simulate” things that they later did, like assassinations, government overthrow, murder and so on. One day this Pretender, Jarod, ran away, and began trying to undo his wrongs. Thus the TV show. Every episode Jarod is pretending to be someone else in the effort to make right bad situations. “Are you a doctor?” “I am today”
So Nate and I bought seasons 1&2 on DVD, and I have been rewatching them. My dad and brothers and I all watched them, but I don’t remember them much anymore, so it has been cool rewatching these episodes. A well written, edge-of-your-seat intelligent TV show. The last factor is most lacking in TV shows today, I feel.
Between working and watching TV shows, I have been pretty busy. I woke up this morning to find more snow on the ground, and it is currently snowing. It had warmed up a bit, and the previous snow from Thanksgiving had melted, but now there is more back.
And, lastly, I have purchased a bus ticket for the 12th, and will be on my way to the Ferris’ in a week for the rest of my break (until Jan 2). I can’t wait!
So peace, that’s a little of my life.
