centre of the universe - the dreaming: Power Sk8

09/10/2005: "Power Sk8" The Captain has just given me a home-made laser that is to be used as follows:

I'm supposed to be defeating people and breaking through walls. I'm the designated wall breaker-downer. His laser booster is used primarily for defeating people. I'm only allowed to break through bricks and walls that have cracks. I have to aim at the cracks. I have to keep shooting them until they fall. If they don't fall down, The Captain is the only one with the sharp sword. He cuts the bottoms of the wall off until they fall down. Except we only use lasers in this game, and he's allowed to have two lasers, so I guess if there are indestructible walls out there, I'm SOL. He has a special wall breaker-througher laser, but I don't get that one. He gets it because he's the boss. I used to be the boss, but apparently I quit. I don't remember handing in my resignation. Perhaps I quit under duress. I wonder if there's an ombudsman in this operation.

He is taking power skating this weekend. It's so weird to sit in a hockey rink watching your kid skate in his full hockey regalia when it's 30 above outside. The rink is literally dripping, and over the ice hovers a thick fog. Unfortunately, the fog is almost exactly as high as The Captain, so until he's right in front of the window, you can't see the little bugger at all. He just kind of bursts through the fog.

And hokey dinah for sweat. That kid sweats like it's going out of style.

Anyway, I must go. Apparently there are some walls that need my paltry attempts at laser destruction somewhere around here. I'm willing to bet my laser doesn't even work properly. Probably "Made in Taiwan". Sigh. This must be the part of my life where I am relegated to 'sidekick' status.
