Episode 9: Final Weekend (or: Intolerable Subterfuge)

It is amazing how missing one new episode of The Office can ruin a fine gentleman's evening... Ah, what a shame... what a shame.

Oh, hello! I didn't see you there (why did I think this would be funny? Oh, God...).

I'm about 40 minutes away from my final weekend at home before the new semester begins. What will the start of '07 hold for Skyler? Many interesting things (including, but not limited to: a second major, another stupid Spring Break stunt, looking for internships, and building a boat made of dreams to sail the seas of... of... dreams!), but most importantly, what will happen tomorrow and the next day?

Tomorrow my young brother, Zak, returns from his adventures in interterm for the second weekend in a row, bringing with him his massive desktop computer what was taken from my older brother, Pete. We will use his computer, this one, my machine, and Pete's laptop, to play many hours (as in, hours upon hours upon hours) of World of Warcraft, perhaps with longtime family friend, Mr. Justin (who will not be present, but - what with the advent of the Internet...).

We will also watch a few movies (more than likely) and then retire each night exhausted, fulfilled aaaaaaaaaand a bit lonely and scared. But fear not!, dear readers, for your hero Skyler, ever true and valiant as Arthur the King, will not perish!

Instead he'll head back to Drake on Sunday, unpack his stuff, and return to classes next Tuesday with more DVD's to add to his collection, some books, too, and a car that actually works for once. All will be well.

So, once again, I leave you with a cliffhanger, although this time the stakes are higher, the magnitude of suspense... biting! I have no more jokes this time! Just exclamation points! I got too many at the surplus store!!!!!! !!!!!! ...!

Adios!
-Skyler!
