In an interesting turn of events I purchased DDR: Mario Remix yesterday. I would give you pictures of Heidi and me making fools of ourselves but I was too busy making fools to go get the camera. It even has a long jump mini-game in it (a la Nintendo Track & Field). My thighs burned. Speaking of burning my next purchase may just have to be a footbag, as bagging feet also makes my thighs burn. We also purchased a new tank for the little shelled creature that lives in our living room.

He seems happier now, though he’s a nasty bastard when you get him out of the water… all hissing and biting. Also, if you live in the Dover, NH area the local book repository is having a book sale, but if you are looking for a 1908 (?) copy of Faust too bad, I already bought it. I give it one read before it disintegrates. At least it has a cloth binding so there will be no redrot. It could ruin my white gloves! Poor sod.

In an aside, I can’t wait for it to get really cold. I want the water to freeze on the ponds so I can go out skating and, if it snows, snow shoeing. I do not know why I am so excited for winter… it is not something that often comes over me. Perhaps, it is because it is only light during the day so if I want to do anything outside I have to leave work early or not go in. Perhaps, when everything dies or hibernates or whatever it reminds you what is good about life.
