"Where you been hiding?" my 3 loyal fans recently asked. Ninja training, of course.

I mean, come on. I was only gone about 3 weeks. And Class P Ninja status is tough to nail down. You gotta keep taking the test over and over again until you get it right and they don't let you go until you ace it, or else they have to kill ya.

Sure, some people think just because it's Night School Ninja Training at the local Junior College that it's easy but think about it, people. If they held it during the day, it'd be a helluva lot easier to spot us ninja's-to-be, don't ya think? Pfft.

Anyway, I was on a world tour in my head trying to drum up ways to get more 12-pack codes before the contest ends but I won a free Casino Crawl bus ticket, fell asleep on the way to Vegas and ended up in Mexico City. And I'm a blonde, so I stand out a tad down there— you'd be amazed at all the old ladies I had to pose with for pictures. Like handfuls.

In closing, thanks for the continued support. If you've got codes, fire em in and if you don't, hit up your caffeine junky friends for theirs. And remember to keep smiling.
