No. No, damn it, this wasn't supposed to happen. I was just watching frickin' Arrow on Netflix. It's not great, but it's interesting and the guy's gorge and I'm weak, okay? I got to the end of season 1 and then Netflix kicked me back to the home screen and I saw the ad for some stupid Netflix original cartoon called "Bojack Horseman." It looked ( Read more... )

I am cold and stressed. I wish I had this sheep to cuddle with.

I've had this on my phone for a while now. When Bernie and I went to help Michael move, I discovered this little fellow slithering alone. I was impressed by the size of him, bigger than my finger, and his leopard spots. I was a bit worried for him as he was booking it toward the street, but who am I to speculate on the motivations of the spotty and ( Read more... )

Had a productive weekend, I am pleased to say. This past weekend was the first I've had in a month that wasn't totally committed, so I used the much-needed free time to do whatever I needed or wanted to. Spent a lovely Saturday getting my hair cut and hanging out with friends playing games at the house. Sunday was devoted to chores. The house has ( Read more... )

Being nicer, I suppose, than the average kid who has left home, I call my parents pretty much every morning. It makes my mom happy, and while sometimes I don't feel like having the obligation, it's usually more of a pleasantry than a hardship. For most of my time since leaving, the nature of my family has meant that two topics of conversation were ( Read more... )

My parents just got a new dog!

She decided she didn't want a puppy with all the accompanying puppy behaviors, so she thought it might be nice to find a rescue dog, who would be ( Read more... )

This morning I saw two cardinals flitting after one another; they were so pretty and bright. I guess spring is actually here now. Redbirds always make me think of my grandmother; they were her favorite and her kitchen was decorated with images of them ( Read more... )

The family of turkeys I saw at the top of the secret passageway leading into East lot was in my backyard this morning! At least, I think it was the same family, seeing as it was so close, and there was also a mommy turkey, a daddy turkey, and NINE little baby turkeys. That's a big family! They were surprisingly brave little guys, allowing me to get ( Read more... )

My mom linked me to this live webcast, where you can watch a nest of eaglets. There are three little eaglets, each visibly a little older than the last, fluff around in their nest, getting fed by their mommy and daddy eagle and generally being cute little puffy-babies.

I like the eaglies. :-)
