Goodbye moon

If you have ever read the children's book Goodnight Moon, you know it is a very simple book. Essentially the child says goodnight to all the objects in his/her room before going to bed. May 13, 2011, I will be doing  a similar thing. It will be the best of times, it will be the worst of times. We all knew it would happen one day; however, I find myself sorely unprepared for its ending. May 13, 2011 is the last time Smallville will grace our television screens live. All the characters which we have grown to love, (or hate), will leave us concerned for their fates in offscreenville. No more cliff hanger finales, no more mid season hiatus, no more visiting websites to get spoilers concerning future episodes. No more Smallville.  Yes, we'll still have Young Justice, and Batman the Brave and the Bold but animated shows don't allow you to have a true emotional attachment to the characters like a live action show can. Oh well, maybe someone will make a spin off sometime in the near future. But in till then, after 10 years (4.5 for myself), it is time to say our farewell. Goodbye Clark. Goodbye Lois. Goodbye Ollie. Goodbye Chloe. Goodnight moon.

And you thought Friday the 13th was bad.... Part 1

It was a dark and gloomy morning. It had been raining the night before, and I was cruelly awakened by my alarm clock. Sleepily I hit the snooze button to give myself nine more minutes of bliss. Around two minutes later I lazily rolled over to see how much time I had left before the alarm would make a reappearance. "h'mm, the alarm clock seems to have lost its rosy complexion." I thought to myself (the numbers are red). Then I noticed that our fan was slowing down...and neither I nor my brother had turned it off. It was a mystery!! I sprang out of bed and grabbed my watch to see what time it was when it hit like me like a whiff of Jared's diaper. THE POWER IS OUT (all caps is added to show the seriousness of the situation).  After making this discovery, I scoured the house to make sure everyone else was aware of the travesty. After using my GBA (Gameboy Advance) as a light as a quickly relieved myself in total darkness, I preceded to fetch some breakfast from the refrigerator. Then the eternal wisdom of my mother entered my mind. "never open a refrigerator when the power is out. The food will spoil". Heeding the words of my mother I proceeding to eat a lean breakfast of raisins and cheese nips. Then the unthinkable happened. One of my sisters, who shall remain nameless, walked out of her room and opened the fridge to see what lie within to satisfy her hunger. I sat there, motionless and numb due to the shock. After watching her do it twice more, it took all of my strength to re-swallow my breakfast.  Eventually my father appeared from the depths of his room and we proceeded to leave for work, tired and hungry (kinda how I feel after work).  Jokingly he said he hoped that the street lights would be working. If only we had known that this was just the beginning.
