We'd Appreciate Our Livestock Back...

'Twas a busy Monday. Started off with our daily classroom ventures, then it was back home to finish a bit of homework. After I'd completed roughly half, Pat invited me to view the new webcam feeds in their apartment. It's funny how everything else becomes incredibly interesting when you've got homework to do, so, I happily obliged. I then proceeded to log on and speak to Pat and John via that method of communication. It was pretty neat. Seems like it would be a fun thing to do here. Robert thought so, as well, and began to think of ways in which we might be able to replicate the idea. So, if anything comes of that in the near future, we'll keep you posted.

Soon after, Robert and I decided to head out to the bazaars of Orlando, and run some errands. After acquiring the items we set out for, I had to stop by the bank. While conversing with the bank teller, Robert sat in the waiting area and found a coloring book. As he colored, he reached a predicament, of sorts. What color to color the animated mouse's eyes? He leaned over and asked the girl next to him if she could provide him with the information he needed. She didn't seem to have any ideas, but simultaneously, did seem to be a little creeped out. Despite this setback, Robert did finish his multichromatic masterpiece, and it now hangs proudly on our refrigerator.

Today was, once again, as you all know, Muffin Monday. We celebrated around 9, tonight. This week, however, John-Michael joined us. As the guest of honor, he was given the opportunity to pick this week's topic of discussion. The topic: Alien Abduction. We decided that we're a little tired of them stealing our cows... ya know... it gets old. You buy a cow, then the next day, you go outside and find an "I.O.U. 1 Cow" note in it's place. They never do replace your cow, though... There's gotta be something to it, though. We figure that if the aliens are smart enough to build machines that not only enable space travel, but also tractor beams used for abduction, who's to say that haven't built machines that turn beef into, say, teriyaki burgers? Either way, you can rest assured that while you read this, plans are being formulated to reciprocate the gesture and abduct one of them. So, to our neighbors: If you've somehow managed to find this blog and decided to follow it, and if you see us up on the roof, wielding odd, makeshift contraptions, there's a good possibility that that's what we're doing. Then again, that may be for something completely different, as well... you never really know...

Fare thee well,
-Nick, Robert, & Chris
