Trapped between a Gryffindor and a loud place

Good evening ladies!

As Valerie pets herself with her paws I am left to contemplate how I am ever going to sleep tonight over the racket of Micheal Jackson currently radiating from the lounge across the hall.

I haven't reached any reasonably appropriate plans yet. I also have to say that, as much as I'm dreading the lack of sleep, the tunes are a wee bit catchy...

Valerie dancing around with her lion hat and paws in endlessly amusing. You should create that mental image. It's her true Gryffindor form even if she doesn't show it very often.

Speaking of things that are endlessly amusing, Valerie's mini Toblerones have Triforce symbols on them! Geeky game joke alert! I guess that alert was a little late but it's there anyway so deal with it.

I am happy to report that Valerie and her iPod have now become friends and show every sign of remaining so for the foreseeable future. She's currently sitting on the bed beside me with her iPod in one hand and mine in the other flicking through the touch screen menus of music and giggling to herself. I think they're going to get along fine.

More points for me in predicting relationships.

Now she's telling the iPods that they are friends now and comparing alphabetical lists.

I just tried playing Angry Birds for the first time after having been told my various people that it's absolutely hilarious and amazing and I have to agree that it certainly is all it's cracked up to be... and all that it's cracked up to be is crack. Completely addicting. Ridiculously silly.

I like it. I might have to download it when I get within reach of an accessible WiFi.

This post has no point except to say that I am having an awesome time with Valerie and I think kamikaze birds are funny.

:)

Much love,

Dina
