The Face of Fear

Gaia: "Yay! Home."

Gabe: "Indeed. Just lemme check the mail here..."

Gabe: "What. What is this."

Gabe: "Um."

Gabe: "What is going on with these cats?"

Gaia: "I dunno, let's just stand here and make this face at each other for a while."

Gabe: "'Kay."

SEVERAL MINUTES LATER

Gabe: "Oh, that's the problem!"

Gaia: "It's so obvious in hindsight!"

Gabe: "We left the vacuum cleaner out!"

Introducing our newest character, Sucky the Vacuum Cleaner! Together with our magical talking vacuum, we travel the nation, solving mysteries and catching spooks, goblins, and phantoms!

(This is a lie.)

Really though our cats hate the vacuum cleaner so much. It doesn't even have to be on. They just run and hide.

We Do Not Excel at Time Management.

Gabe: "Hey, Gaia! I just had a great idea for the blog!"

Gaia: "Uh-huh."

Gabe: "Okay, so what we're going to do is, there's going to be a bear, right? And--"

Gaia: "Uh-huh."

Gabe: "Hey, are you paying attention to me?"

Gaia: "Uh-huh."

 Gabe: "...Oh, hey, is that Minecraft?"

Gaia: "Uh-huh."

Gabe: "Let me see what you're building. Oh, that's... pretty... neat..."

MANY HOURS LATER

Gaia: "Hey Gabe! I'm ready to do an upadate now!"

Gabe: "...'Kay."

Gaia: "Did you hear me Gabe? I said that I've broken free of my virtual shackles."

Gabe: "...'Kay."

Gaia: "Oh, you're playing Skyrim, aren't you?"

Gabe: "...'Kay."

Gaia: "Don't you think it's time to... don't you think we should... is that a dragon?"

Gabe: "...'Kay."

Okay that is not the only reason we have been remiss in our bloggerly duty. But it is part of it. Also, you can substitute in Sims 3 and Batman: AC for Minecraft and Skyrim , respectively (though there are no dragons in Arkham City... unless you count the kind from TV Tropes).

Of course, now I want to see a picture of Batman fighting a dragon...
