No really, we didn’t start the fire
Fate decided to have a giggle today. Around 12:30, an alarm went off telling us to evacuate the building. Guess which floor had a microwave that set off the smoke detector? Yeah, you guessed it. So there’s two competing theories. Either Jerry and I are being framed, or Star Witness believed us and put foil in the microwave. Or someone burned their lunch, but that’s just silly.

I almost started a cookie on fire in the microwave once. I usually microwave the cookies for 12 seconds, and I usually microwave water for tea for 1:20, and without thinking I pushed in tea-time. Around 40 seconds or so, there was a ton of smoke coming out of the microwave and most of the cookie was a stinky charred black. I’m convinced the full time would have resulted in flames. As it was, I was up late working on a project and even though I turned the fan on full-blast, opened a window, and hung a sheet across the kitchen doorway to try to contain things, the smell woke David up. A microwave-casualty cookie will make your apartment stink for approxiamtely 3 days, and then I think you just get use to the remaining stench.

Well, either that, or “Star Witness” doesn’t like you two very much and is trying to get rid of
you & Jerry. Maybe he wants your cushy chair (cuz his doesn’t allow for ass messaging)?
;p
