As you may recall, Apartment 12 has been besieged with a few squirrel problems in the past. It seems that the furry rodents not only love our gear assemblies and our back deck, but also the roof of our building. Yesterday, David and I noticed a squirrel repeatedly ascending the back stairs carrying sticks in its mouth. When I went outside later, I saw where the squirrel was headed: a large hole in the roof of the building. The squirrel most likely has a nest in the space between the roof and the ceiling of the 3rd floor apartments, right where Lucas used to live.

I posted the other day about having to use superglue to repair my guitar. I obtained said glue yesterday, and in opening the bottle I managed to coat 2 of my fingers in it. Not having any acetone handy, I was forced to go through the whole day without being able to feel anything with either finger. Weird.

Lucas posted recently about the new McDonalds ad campaign. A group he forgot to mention is "Soccer Moms", in which a lame Sheryl Crow/Jewel style singer sings dumb lyrics while the mom bribes her children to behave with an empty McDonalds bag. I'll bet the kids won't be "Lovin' It" when they realize that the mom lied to them and that the bag was empty. A better ending to the commercial would be if the person turned out to be a kidnapper luring the kids to their doom with the empty McDonalds bag.

Patriots-Colts is today at 2 Central, finally ending the week of Peyton Manning's deification. My predictions? The cold and snow slow down the Colts' offense enough for a Patriots victory 24-20, while the Eagles are once again thwarted right before the Super Bowl. Panthers 30, Eagles 17.
