I’m actually supposed to be getting the press kit to this soon, only a month late. Now I’ll have 2 copies to not play, as my Xbox is currently en route to Microsoft repair.

Dax & Departure
I lost a friend today.
I met Dax only a few days after I met Dawn. I’d never known a rodent or any kind, never had any friends with hamsters. I’ve certainly had enough cats and spent a lot of time with Dogs. Rats are kind of weird, because they don’t have a hunting nature. Dax never attacked, she was just friendly. The only time she would bite is when she confused my finger for a carrot. But when your vision is limited to a foot in front of your face and weigh less than a pound, just about everything starts to look like a carrot.
I liked letting Dax and her cagemate Ezri out. The first picture Dawn ever took of me was with Dax crawling over me. She was curious and adventurous, liked to get out and run around. Dawn had some rat balls (think American Gladiators) and it was pretty funny to see Dax roll all around the house, even more so when cats Henry and Veronica were around to look on. When I’d pick her up with a sweater on, she’d always try to nest and bury herself in my clothes.
Dax was the smaller rat. Sometimes it looked like Ezri took all the food before she could get it, so I always gave her extra snacks. A vegetable from dinner, a potato chip, a popcorn. She always appreciated it, and frequently took it back to her igloo to save for later. She was, quite literally, a pack rat. Sometimes when I didn’t have time to take her out and let her run around, I’d just poke my finger into the cage to pet her. She’d hold my finger, sniff it a little, and look up at me. She was hugging me.
Rats are a tricky species, they’re so small and they live very short lives. Female rats end up developing tumors, and just past her 2nd birthday, Dax got a little lump her chest. the last 2 months she’s been more withdrawn and less energetic. She’d gotten very old and very sick very quickly. Surgery to save a rat is problematic, because 2 weeks later they could get another tumor and be in even worse shape. We had to make a very serious and very sad decision about her quality of life.
I cradled her body and her head as Dawn pet her. Holding her in those final moments I realized just how out of shape and sick she really was. I regret not spending more time with her in the last 2 months, but I’m glad my memories are of the spritely and personable Dax.
I love you and will miss you little friend.
Beatallica April Fools Video
So I had a ton of fun making this video as you can probably tell. I watched a lot of the Shamwow ad, as well as several other informercials. I had the idea for a Beatallica music game several weeks before, but I happened to see a Shamwow in Walgreens a few hours before getting started and wrote a lot of this on the spot. I think it turned out pretty well, everyone who saw it thought it was funny. Kind of a shame that my videos on the whole have taken a dip in views lately because here almost 2 weeks later I’ve only gotten a few hundred views. Oh well, I can still watch it and enjoy and that makes me happy.

Baltimore is having a bit of rain, and with no car and the only transportation being the water taxi, we’re kinda grounded until it gives up a bit. The goals today are the aquarium (which is open late) and the art museum.
