Dan's been on an X-Files kick lately. He's watching all the episodes in the 'mytharc' (the story arc of the show's mythology. Yes, I am currently researching how much it costs to get 'Nerd' tattooed on my forehead) so we can watch the first movie so we can see the second movie. Movies are serious business at Casa Walsh (Casa Walsh is just a placeholder until I actually come up with a name for our place).
[SIDEBAR: Name my apartment! I used to live in Lush Manor -- a glorious HUD-approved apartment complete with black mold and two of the best damn roommates a girl could ever ask for. Now, I live in a pretty sweet apartment with a huge TV, a Wii and the cutest roommate/fiance a girl could ask for. So, any suggestions?]
I've been watching too in a half-assed sort of way, but it's this half-assery that gets me in trouble. Well, that coupled with my on-going battle with technology and complete inability to separate real life from fiction.
Case in point: Last Night.
I woke up at around 2:00 a.m. because I noticed there were flashes of light emanating from the living room. In a sleep-addled state, I stumbled to the living room to investigate.
The Wii's disc drive was glowing bright blue 'causing the light show.
So, what's the first thing I think of? No, it's not to unplug the Wii or check the power button. The first thing I think of is:
"Aliens are using our Wii to communicate! What if this is like Poltergeist? What if I get sucked into some otherworldly alien vortex dimension?"
This is my first response, ladies and gentlemen. Completely devoid of logic. I skip right over sane rationality and crash land at ludicrous.
This morning, I woke up and noticed the Wii's disc drive was still bright blue.
Jaime: Honey! There's something wrong with the Wii.
Dan: What is it?
Jaime: The disc drive is glowing blue.
Dan: Take the disc out.
The glowing stops.
Right.
So, to recap:

I cannot believe "flashes of light from the living room" woke you up! That's awful! You should throw a sheet over the Wii like a pet bird to make it sleep.
That's actually a great idea!
Think the same concept would work at my job? Throw a sheet over my computer and I'd stop getting work-related emails? :)
