Video killed the radio star

by Me on Dec.30, 2005, under Men Are Martians

My beloved spouse made an announcement to me a couple of minutes ago:

Hamster TV has been replaced in the ratings by wide-screen Rabbit TV.

Evidently, the spectacle of Hamtaro trying (but not succeeding) to seduce Snowball is not as enthralling as Autumn the Rabbit licking her foot.

Autumn is the latest low-on-the-food-chain denizen of the Baker household. Gino decided to get himself a rabbit, partly because he feels she will somehow be therapeutic in his ongoing battle to keep his spirits up and partly because, “I’m just partial to small furry creatures.”

(So, if you want to entice him into having an extra-marital fling, you have to be a 4′3″ hairy woman, I guess.)

It must have worked. When I got home from grocery shopping this morning at 9:15, I had to get him out of bed. He finally was able to relax into sleep enough that he wound up being late for work.

How about that, huh? A guy who telecommutes … he works from an office in his house just off the kitchen, and he’s late for work. Can’t blame this one on MTA, can ya?

I think you’re going to have to count that as progress (of sorts)…

Oh, I do! In fact, it’s been lovely to see those clouds around him lighten … he’s had a very, very good last week-or-two of the year. And I certainly don’t grudge him that.
