The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) cannot be mistaken for any other marsupial. Its spine-chilling screeches, black colour, and reputed bad-temper, led the early European settlers to call it The Devil. Although only the size of a small dog, it can sound and look incredibly fierce. Apparently this little creature is no longer restricted to the lower island of Australia. No, they are running rampant in Southern Alberta disguised as 22 year old females commonly referred to as “roommates”. Yes, Danielle moved in yesterday and has taken over the living room, laundry room, half the basement, and generous hall space. Some would refer to this move as a “gong show” and others have referred to this incident as “complete and utter chaos”.

We’ve officially been roommates for 1 day, and let me tell you, nothing but great things have taken place. We did, oh, nothing all morning long except drink homemade Starbucks and beautify ourselves. We then trekked to the mall where we encountered some strange sorts of human beings (Danielle has the description of these creepos on her blog). After the mall, it was Celine Dion and grocery shopping. Pretty much just great times. After today I decided that next year will pretty much be low marks, but GREAT abs!!
