MOUSE(?) IN THE HOUSE
This little guy suddenly appeared in a laundry pile this evening. He freaked the living guts out of my wife and son, but my daughter and I were curious as hell. Plus we thought he was really freakin cute! He was relatively easy to catch, but once I did catch it, I couldn't figure out what it was! It looks like a teeny gerbil. I thought it was a mouse, but it's way too short to be a regular mouse. We've had a mouse in the house before and it was much longer. This guy was round. I looked online but I can't figure out what it is for sure. I gave it a little plastic CD container to use as a shelter, since it's raining out right now, and I put it outside. Really weird.

CD BUBBLE
When you buy a stack of recordable DVDs or CDs, there's always one clear disc on the top to protect the top disc. Apparently, if you take that clear plastic disc and melt it just the right way, you can blow on it and make a kind of bubble. I experimented with it today at "work" with my summer assistant. On the disc you can see 3 other attempts that failed. We also tried on two other discs so this was something like the 12th try. We were very happy.
