Just say no to shinies? NEVAH!

Obviously my recent horoscope proves it doesn’t have any clue who it is dealing with.

“Temptations abound, but you know a trap when you see one. Maybe you’ll get away with the prize, but is it worth the risk?”

Heck YA! It is always worth the risk for a shiny. Death, repair bills — none of that matters as long as you get that beautiful little shiny in your hands. But wait, the horoscope didn’t even stop there! The next line:

“‘Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare’ — John Dryden”

As if. As if! Better luck next time, Mr. Horoscope.

Oh happy day! I found a mouse!

That moment when you are sorting through stuff and find that awesome new mouse you bought yourself (no, not this adorbz fluffy one) on mega sale during the holidays last year and never actually got around to using! Hallelujah! And it couldn’t come at a better time: My current mouse has been glitching at very inopportune times lately. That’s really not good when there are big nasties fighting you.

It turns out I also invested in some really snazzy new headphones on that same Black Friday shopping spree, so I’m just going to pull out my Blue Yeti mic and finally use all my new accessories. Yay for finding shinies in my house!

A shiny horoscope

By jove I think they’ve got it! Does this recent horoscope know me or what?

Temptations abound, but you know a trap when you see one. Maybe you’ll get away with the prize, but is it worth the risk?

Heck yah! A shiny is TOTALLY worth the risk! As if there was ever any doubt…
