Anime Kills!!
Literally, it does. I will explain in a bit...but first let me fill you in on what is going on with me.
As you all know I have been a bit sick lately. I had to go to the doctor today for follow up lab work. I will find out in a few days whether or not my White Blood Cells are back up to normal. I am actually looking forward to getting back on all my meds -- even the chemo -- since my RA is flaring up and all my joints are swollen and I ache all over. Not only that but I can get back out and about into the living world. Being confined in the house has been such a bore! I need to get out and take care of my Christmas shopping still. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that my lab work comes back normal so I can get back on my meds and leave the house!
Now, moving on to my "anime kills" story. Some how we ended up with a little field mouse in my house. More than likely he snuck into the garage the other day when John was working in there with the door open and then into the house through the cat door. We have a cat door between the garage and the house so the cats can go out there for their litter box and food. It gives them a private room that the dogs can't get into. Anywho, the little mouse came into the house and as I was watching TV I spied something out of the corner of my eye. This of course was the exact same time as the dogs spied it...it was the mouse. My dogs are very gentle with other animals so they just ran up to it and just sniffed at him. He then ran straight towards me sitting in my recliner and into my bookcase.
If you guys remember the pictures of my family room on the side of the recliner is my little bookcase that I keep odds and ends...sketch book, pens, anime magazines and a such. Well John decided that we can't chance the little guy escaping from the bottom shelf so he uses clear packing tape and completely tapes off the bottom shelf. If we couldn't catch him we would have to go buy some mouse traps and we didn't want to do that. We didn't want him dead, just not in the house. We open up the sliding glass door and John takes the entire shelf outside so we can let the mouse loose. We didn't want to kill the little guy after all. He probably just came in since he was cold. What can I say, I love animals.
So John goes outside on the deck, in the snow, with my bookcase, in the dark. He takes the tape off and then starts to pull the magazines and stuff off the bottom shelf. He takes the books and stuff and starts to pile it up on the top of the bookshelf. Then, since he removed some of the items, the remaining magazines...including about a years worth of Newtypes fall over. Unfortunately, on top of the little field mouse.
I am sure you guys know what happens. He got smashed by the magazines. I think his final image was a giant glossy picture of Edward Elric smiling face crushing him. Whatta way to go, killed by Newtype. John felt awful since he went through all that so he could be set free. If he would have made a break for it when John first took the tape off the bottom shelf he would have been home free...but he decided to try to hide. So sad...just a sad and pointless death.
Since the ground is all frozen we couldn't bury him. So we made him a coffin out of a beer box and Kleenex. We then took him out to the curb where our trash can was waiting to get picked up. It's the best we could do for the little guy. Poor little mouse. In my veterinary experience I would have to say that death was caused by anime.
Well, that is about it for now. I know I have a bunch of emails, PMs and guestbook signings I need to catch up on. I will get around to it very soon, I promise. I hope everyone is doing well and if you are ever in need of a mouse trap (I'm looking at you Adam) let me know, I have a killer bookshelf that works great. >_<;;
