Bryce hanging out |

Shayna and Tony sit on the big chair |

Sleepy time |

What is this mysterious ball I've found? |

Hmm, this could be a clue |

This guy says it's full of beer |

Looks like he might be right! |

They lived in the suite down the hall, so I followed them to take pictures |

Carefullly pouring beer out of the ball.. |

Taking a sip! Ok.. that's a little gross |

This is how they got at the beer, they just smashed a hole in the top |

Professor Morris marks off some exercises for me to do |

Chapter 9?? Gah! |

Professor Chou with CS99 again, this time in a classroom |

The CS99 people |

Row 1 |

Row 2 |

Row 3 |

Row 4 |

Row 5 |

Row 6 |

Row 7 |

Row 8 |

And this guy, who was late |

There were a lot of fire engines outside of Uncle Sam's, which give Clark James and I a real scare |

One of the guys who works at Uncle Sam's has a pretty messed up phone |

Apparently it still works well! |

Despite the.. pencap.. antenna |

DS and cola, doesn't get much better than this, folks |

Bryce's consciousness briefly slips completely in to the DS |

James and I were watching the State of the Union address |

This building is shooting out steam and water! |

Professor Morris in action |

Talking about dihedral groups, pretty interesting stuff |

Mike looks suspicious as he eats his sandwich |

Tony washes a few dishes |

What's up, Mike? |

I finally broke down and bought a cheapo espresso machine |

It's pretty nice |

The espresso box actually came with garbage in it.. |

Yes. Real garbage. We figure that someone stole a razor and threw the packaging in here to.. hide it? |

FedEx is here!! |

See? FedEx. With proper white balance, even |

Mike signs for a package from the FedEx dude |

What could be inside, Mike? |

Looks to be a pretty sizable package |

Live fish? |

Mike seems pretty psyched about something |

Cutting open the box |

Another box! Styrofoam this time |

Let's take off the lid.. |

No! Mike wants to take his own pictures first |

Now let's take off the lid |

Mike takes a picture of his mysterious styrofoam box |

Time to cut open this box |

What's inside? |

Peanuts! |

So many peanuts |

And a bag! |

A bag with black plastic around it |

Well there's only one thing to do.. |

Rip open the bag! |

It's a live octopus! |

Mike and I knew it all along, I just wanted to build up the suspense |

It's Mike's first pet octopus |

Clark James suggested the winning name: "Octopus Prime" |

"Prime" for short! |

Before letting him loose in the tank, Mike allows the temperature of the water to equalize |

The bag is kind of funny just floating there |

Octopus Prime up close |

Those are his eyes in the middle, sticking out of his head |

Lots of stickers |

Mike takes a few pitures of his own |

Mike seems enthralled |

Prime was much bigger than we expected |

His head is about the size of your thumb |

Prime stares me down |

that's his eye, that little rectangular opening |

Eye horns! He does this sometimes.. we think he does it to scare us |

Prime in the drip bucket, getting used to the pH of the tank |

He doesn't really look this gross, it was just hard to get a picture of him in the bucket. He kept trying to explore.. outside the bucket! |

In other news, I got 143 lines in Tetris and got the Buran!! |

The Buran was Russia's answer to the space shuttle, but it only flew once and wasn't even manned. Still pretty cool though |

Bryce cruises the internet looking for Smash Brothers updates |

Rosie checks out the octopus situation |

What's up, Bryce? |

Time to transfer Prime! Mike was hoping he'd hold onto his rock |

No such luck though |

Mike decides to transfer him in a large cup |

Bryce suggested drinking him and coughing him back up like a gold fish... that's gross, Bryce |

Mike tries to pour Prime into the smaller tank |

Prime decides he likes the cup |

So he won't come out |

We eventually got him out of the cup by submerging it |

Prime kind of sits on the floor. He looks so neat! |

Mike lowers the small tank into the big tank |

Prime will stay in the smaller tank for a few days to get used to the surroundings and learn that Mike gives him food |

A pretty awesome pet, all in all |
