A Vespa painted up as a Buzzy Bee.

A wallet with an internal, flexible LCD screen instead of a photo pouch. Then I could cycle through my pics automatically, instead of carrying around bits of paper.

One of the things that delights Maire about Ada is that she has a reset button: no matter how shitty a day Ada has, an adequate amount of sleep puts her back to her default state. Press reset button, get happy baby back.

The funny thing is that Ada has the same effect on me: no matter how shitty a day I have at work, when I get home Ada’s eyes light up, she reaches out, and grins happily.

And that’s my reset button.

The game begins when a cicada flies into the living room. This marks the first part of the contest; obtaining the cicada marks the cat holding it as the ball carrier.

The ball carrier may hold the cicada for as long as they can stand legs crawling around their mouth and wings beating on their whiskers. While holding the cicada, the ball carrier should run to the safe spot in the house. The non-carrier is allowed to harrass the carrier into dropping the cicada into open play.

If the carrier drops the cicada or releases it for any reason, it is in open play, also known as the cat sadism phase. Both players may stand around the cicada, watching it or swatting as appropriate. If the cicada becomes airborne, whoever is quickest to snatch it out of the air may grab it and run to their personal safe spot, chewing on the delicious morsel as they see fit.

The game ends when one competitor pukes cicada wings on the carpet.

Trapped in house with crazy ladies!

Very cool. Easier to watch than explain.
