First off, my dad showed me an awesome picture online. My reaction was to shout "Are you SERIOUS?" I can't believe we have the technology to get amazing space pictures like this, a photo of Mercury. The craters make a really cool texture. I feel like I could reach out and drag my fingers across it. Here is a link to the image so that you can view it yourself:

He was all limp and relaxed, and he just rolled off. Thankfully he didn't hurt himself. We bought him a new chew toy today. It's a little purple cat with a collar that reads "Big Mean Kitty."
Thirdly, I got a wallet at Gordman's yesterday. Gordman's is kind of like Ross, a retailer that sells department-store stuff at deep discounts. I really dig that concept. Gordman's generally has a better selection of stuff (and merchandise that's better quality) than Ross. So I went to Gordman's and bought some luggage for my trip to England. Then I saw the wallet, which was on sale for only $5. It's called the "Incredible Bulk." It's got a little subtitle saying "Go ahead, stuff it!" It's pretty cool and will hopefully keep me organized.
You probably are wondering where this is going. Well, when I opened up the Gordman's bag at home, I noticed a weird smell. I figured out that it was coming from the wallet. I don't know quite how to describe it, but the thing REEKS. The wallet itself, not anything hidden inside of it. It smells like a combination of gasoline, burnt rubber, and paint. It's a very chemical odor. I have it sitting on my desk right now. It's seriously bothering me. Maybe I should return it.
Here's what it looks like:
