But alas, my poor investments over the years have not allowed me the financial fortitude to even purchase a plane ticket to Romania. I guess I'll be sleeping in my ol' chair tonight and exploring my creepy kitchen. I do have a bat in the kitchen and a few other little pals to chat with on lonely evenings, as pictured below...

Ah, home sweet home...
