Toilet Paper and a various sundry of other blather...

I've come to notice one of the little annoying things in life over the past little while. It seems like every time I go into the bathroom to...finish my digestion...I look over to wipe and there is about a half a sheet of toilet paper left! It must just be me, because I seem to have to replace the toilet paper every time I go into the commode, which means that my family must always have a plentiful supply. They must git a great kick out of picturing me stranded on the toilet, with pants down to my ankles, worrying about how I'm going to find the next square of TP without flashing the world. Oh, but don't you worry...I've come up with a system to thwart their evil little plans. I keep a spare 4-pack of toilet paper in the cabinet next to the John so that all I have to do is reach over and grab a new roll. HA! Their plot has been discovered and I am victorious!

Want to know what else has been bothering me about good ol' bathroom tissue? The rolls seem to get smaller and smaller each time we get a new pack! Have you noticed that? Well here's my theory. Companies like Charmin and Quilted Northern and conspiring against the everyday consumer. Every week, the rolls of TP come with one less square. Over the years it hasn't been a problem, but as the rolls get smaller, one notices the seemingly insignificant portion of tissue missing on the roll because we're used to the bigger, plushier rolls of days past. They think that we haven't caught on, but I definitely have. They're charging us more for less...and now I have to look over my shoulder because the toilet paper companies' minions are coming to force gag me. But I won't give up! I won't!!! Tell all the world!

In other news, I have an assignment for my Exploring Multimedia class to play five video games over the Thanksgiving holiday. We get to pick any games we want, but they eventually have to hit every category given to us (New, Old, Computer, Console, Violent, Girly, etc.). So, I've had to ask my brother to teach me how to play video games...this should be an adventure. Last night I downloaded the World of Warcraft trial, and it's actually fun! I'm glad the trial only lasts ten days, because I just might be getting addicted already. Any other suggestions for games I should play?

Well, I wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. Right now, I have to get off the "throne" to find some more wiping supplies without being seen, because I forgot to re-stock my secret stash...wish me luck!
