Re: Game Free

Ever notice how your own home smells like someone else's after you've been out of town for a while? Got back yesterday evening and was greeted with the overwhelming aroma of Motel 6. You know, that sort of musky, cheap, carpet deodorizer smell to mask someone's bodily fluids — in this case the cat's. I forgot I'd laid that down before I left. Seems to have worked but, note to landlord: You can go ahead and take that security deposit and buy yourself something nice. I knew you were gonna do it anyway.

Here's some highlights from the previous shift:
