From My Pad to Yours

I finally made it to the great white north!
So I showed up here in Grand Forks, North Dakota today, at the home of Adrienne of morechickenandtuna.net and Ryan of zombie underground. They and their horde of cats have really made me at home in their little apartment.
It's cold here and it's been snowing so hard, the power went out within an hour of my arrival! I'm glad I packed a blanket because this is NOT leather jacket weather! Of course, they don't have a Build A Bear or any kind of store that sells clothes to fit me (they don't have any cool stores here at all), but Adrienne said she'd knit me some mittens and a scarf before I have to go outside.
It doesn't help that pretty much as soon as I got settled on the couch, Adrienne had to take off my shoes and hide them from the demon kitten, who was ready to rip the laces apart! Maybe I should ask for some socks, too.
Tonight we watched some movies and they settled me in to a really cool chair. Adrienne said she found it in a dumpster in Eugene, Oregon. It doesn't smell or anything! I might even sleep in this chair. Adrienne gave me the littler of her two Powerbooks to use to update this blog, which is sure nice of her, but she told me not to mess it up or anything because she's selling it on eBay right now.
Well, it's time for bed now. These people go to bed SO EARLY! (I think it has something to do with Ryan having to be at work by 6 a.m.) Tomorrow we're going to have to go out looking for some beer for me - they don't sell beer in the grocery stores here due to the law, and Frogs aren't allowed to just waltz in to the liquor stores.
