Invasion
Some haint who used to live in the Father and Stepmother Units' neighbourhood has come for a visit before she goes back to Pennsylvania. She has one of those nasally, high-pitched voices that sounds naturally insincere. I'm hiding in the computer room in order to hopefully avoid having to meet her, as I haven't had my shower for the day and am currently schlepping around in plaid boxer shorts and my "Freak in the Room" tee shirt. I'm an utter fright and feel just as well as I look. So leave me alone, you socialising biddy, lest I frighten you unto eternity!
The urge to flee home is almost overwhelming. Why am I such a homebody, that I can't hardly bear to leave the house and begin to get all hinky when I'm gone too long? It's not so bad when I fly somewhere 'cos I know that I can't just pick up and run home but, when the domicile is only a few hours drive away, I'm so tempted...so very tempted...
The local radio station has an Electric Light Orchestra fetish. They're playing all manner of ELO music today. This pleases me. Bibi Burdie sings to the radio all day long. He sings and chatters and talks up a storm. Surely he has to be the smartest, or at least the most talkative, budgie to have ever graced Mother Earth. It's a hoot when you walk past his cage and he says "I'm stuck in here!" They let him out a lot, so he's not like most house birds and wholly incarcerated. Perhaps all the interaction is what has made him the bird he is today. Right now he's singing along with Aunt Tudi whistling to an ELO song on the radio...."Strange Magic" I think it is. That's a good 'un.
I'm thirsty and hungry. But the haint is in the kitchen. Damn!
