The Mike Stories, Pt. 23

Last weekend I came downstairs after a nice morning of sleeping in, and was just on my way to the kitchen to get breakfast - when I ran into Mike. He was just standing there in his bathrobe with two hand weights. That's it. He was just standing there with Morpheus, not doing anything. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he didn't know. When I told him he was a strange man - he responded with "maybe you should take a picture" - and so I did. Here it is (enjoy):

A couple of nights ago Mike and I were upstairs getting ready for bed, and he seemed quite proud of himself when he asked me if I had been online lately. I hesitantly told him that I had, but that I had no idea what he was so proud of himself for, and that considering the internet is a rather large place - he'd have to narrow it down a bit for me.

Then he asked if I had seen his twitter postings. I told him that I had not, and asked what he had posted. He told me he had posted a bunch of stuff, and that I should go read them. I told him that my computer was downstairs, and that I didn't feel like going down just for that, since I was on my way to bed. He seemed very anxious for me to see it, and so I told him maybe HE should go downstairs and get a laptop so he could pull it up for me. And so then he pulls out his laptop from right under the bed and starts looking it up.

At that point, I noticed his browser was in Spanish - so I asked him about that, and he said he had set it up that way. I think Spanish Mike is slowly taking over, and before I know it, I'm going to have an exclusively Spanish husband. At least he'll come in handy if we make it down to Costa Rica in March.

So then he finally gets his twitter page up, and he can't figure out how to navigate it. He started in complaining about how it didn't work right and was hard to navigate. I snatched the laptop away from him and found what he was trying to show me in about 2 clicks. (He thought I was a genius - to which I told him he just needed better reasoning skills).

And what was the big mysterious thing he was so proud of, you wonder? He had discovered that he could use voice recognition technology on his phone to produce tweets, and he had been tweeting all the way home during his commute. He even tweeted two photos, and after seeing them I told him that he should not be allowed to drive if he was just going to focus his attention on tweeting and taking photos instead of watching the road. Want to see it for yourself? The date in question was Jan 19th. (I find it best to back up to the first post of a particular day, and read up rather than down, so you can see the chronological progression of his insanity)

The Mike Stories, Pt. 22

Mike pulled most of the shelving out of the pantry....

Here's a shot inside the pantry.... not only is most of the shelving missing, but he's opened the trap door to go under the house. it's very creep down there.

A look down into the creepy under-the-house crawl space.... yes, that is Mike's foot

And finally, here he is coming back up from the creepy underground. and yes, that is a head lamp my nerdy husband is wearing. :)

Mike claims he was down there doing some task related to turning off the electricity flowing to power outlets that were in the deck that he recently pulled out of the back yard. but lets face it - he probably just wanted to play around under he house & screw around with the nicely organized pantry.
