i'd like to preface this post by saying that both eric and cerridwyn are fine (i think)...
i've had a bizarre sleeping schedule of late with so much work since getting back from thanksgiving. so wednesday i was up at 4am making breakfast and listening to radiothon. Nick and Phil's show was great, with Marc calling in and suggesting Nick swallow his tongue, followed by me calling in and pledging $10 if he swallowed the giant roll of toilet paper instead, followed by a flurry of people also offering money for nick to attempt the stunt, followed by the american heart association loosing $75 because he's a stubborn fetus... anyways, i was going back and forth between my room and the kitchen while making eggs. while i was forth and coming back, i heard a little, panicy yelp from the kitchen and rushed in to find cerridwyn (Tim's kitty) on fire! i smothered the flames and she ran off into tim's room. luring her back with about a dozen cat treats I managed to inspect her and find that other than some singed hairs on her underside, she was ok. i still can't grasp how this happened... fortunately she's safe, and tim didn't kill me with his $300 knives.
saturday night was our great holiday party in which we had a potluck dinner and plans to watch the star wars holiday special. unfortunately, the dvd seems to have self-euthanized and we were unable to watch. speaking of euthanasia, isn't the Groningen Protocol a great name for a movie? anyways, after dinner we got to drinking, and tim was making outrageous claims like, "i'd do a shot of 151 right now, but we don't have it." of course, i had some hidden away to oblidge him. this led to eric wanting to do a shot as well, and i figured he should have a proper introduction to the usage of 151 (which is not meant to be done in 1/2 ounce shots!). so i set about making him, and myself flaming dr. peppers. yes, i was a bit tipsy at the time, but i didn't realize eric was as well. so while i did fill his shot glass too high, it's not entirely my fault that he didn't blow his out right away and managed to spill some of the burning liquid onto his hand causing the burning liquid to come pouring out onto the table... fortunately we quickly blew out the fire on eric's hand and the table, nothing else caught fire and eric seems ok. also, Anne took a really pretty picture of it.
...so i'm going to swear off any involvement with fire for the foreseeable future.
i'm leaving the following songs playing on a loop to mess with Tim when he gets back from shopping:
