Vacation Day?

Category: dribblings

I took 2 days vacation from the library for my birthday. That’s right, it was my happy birthday this weekend. In lieu of flowers send cash.

Anyway I took two days vacay (I hate when people call it vacay) because I basically get some days every year and I never use them, but if I don’t I’ll lose them so I used them. Yesterday I putzed around the house and Roxie and I took two walks, saw 0 wildlife.

Today’s vacation day I went to the sign shop and worked because I suck at vacation. But! At the sign shop I got to pet 2 really new baby banty chicks. They were the size of peeps! (But not as delicious. Nor as much fun to put in the microwave.) Super tiny baby animals. I don’t like birds, but these were tiny and not yet filthy. By the weekend I’m sure they will be gross.

The other cool thing I did at the shop was shoot a bull’s-eye with a crossbow. Yeah, that’s right! My aim is well good.

Things you should know:

1. I was only about 10 yards from the target. So I guess anyone’s aim could be good from that distance.

2. Crossbows are much heavier than you would think.

3. Crossbow arrows are called bolts.

4. Crossbows shoot with a shit-ton of force. I’m pretty sure it could go through bone with no problem at all.

5. Did I mention it was heavy? Because it was.

6. There is no number 6.

7. Getting the bolt out of the target was more difficult than hitting the target. Like in cowboy movies, right?

8. The sound it makes is very satisfying.

9. I want to shoot it again.
