The Spyro Effect

There's a strange phenomenon occurring in a household in the suburbs of our nation's capitol. From the outside, the house looks normal, a front door, windows, two car garage, an attic and a basement. Nothing out the ordinary really. But, once inside, it becomes abundantly clear that something's amiss. The dinner table is cleared, save for three place settings consisting of a plate, a fork, a knife and glassware for drinks. In the center of the table lies a beautiful pork roast, mashed potatoes and steamed green beans, but there's no heat coming from them; they've been sitting there for 45 minutes. The food should go back into the oven, which has been pumping out heat upwards of 325 degrees since it was turned on 2 hours ago.

In the laundry room, the washing machine slugs and sloshes about aggravating the water and suds into a frothy submission. The clothes that were supposed to be in the washing machine are resting comfortably on top of it. Near the threshold of the living room sits three bags of varying shapes, sizes and colors. All three are bags used for laptops or carrying around work documents. They're usually stowed away in the closet, but as of late, the threshold seems to be as good a place as any. The living room is perhaps two or three feet away from the front door.

The living room seems to be in order. Two chairs, a sofa, coffee table, cat gym, book shelves...and one PS2. Currently all three members of the house are sitting in front of the PS2 and a new 42 inch television set. All three faces are different, but they all have the same electronic blue blush on their faces, all three seem to be overly focused on what's on the screen. The housemate closes to the PS2 isn't moving any part of his body, save his fingers which seem to move like two spiders performing a mating ritual. His large, stocky frame is leaning back into his chair allowing a large sized cat to nestle comfortably on his chest. Every now and then, the cat's tail fwips by his line of sight, he doesn't blink.


After three hours, someone states the obvious, "Omigod, three hours have past!!!". Once again, Spyro the Dragon has stolen their lives.

The Spyro Effect is something to be feared and respected.

Remember that.

SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant

Excellent!     Sent to you by tony via Google Reader:     SmarTrip Users Can Now Reload at CVS & Giant via DCist by Sommer Mathis on 6/16/09 Metro formally announced today that SmarTrip users can add value to their cards at select CVS and Giant Food stores . Last year, WMATA made SmarTrip cards more widely available for sale at CVS and Giant , but now customers can also choose to add money to their cards at both chains while they check out. Many CVS stores actually began offering customers the ability to reload their SmarTrip cards back in April, while Giant has only started to test the sales devices at eight area stores. The grocer will likely add 42 more locations later this summer. Not every CVS or Giant has the new SmarTrip reload technology, but a lot of them do. Consult the list of participating stores to find the one closest to you. The change means that SmarTrip users need no longer necessarily wait in line to access Metro's machines insi...
