Yay! I caught up with my replies! \o/
It was sad... I actually managed to fall behind... *shakes head*
I cleaned out the cricket tubs today. I figured that I'd just put them all into the one tub. Then, as I was cleaning, I realised there was a heck of a lot more of them than I had thought! :D So I shall continue to maintain the two tubs for a while longer as I'm sure they appreciate the extra space. And happily there were only a couple dead ones!!! :)
Definitely glad I got the Water Gel stuff for them. Certainly keeps them happy when the carrot is starting to dry out. Some of them appear to prefer the carrot, while some prefer the gel! *amused* Yet most of them seem to love at least a little of the fish flakes :P Happy Crickets!!! :D I'm fast running out of the Gutload stuff that came with the store-bought crickets. Will have to buy myself a container of the stuff. Along with some pellets which I'll try to get Frances interested in for when I'm in Canberra.
I have a five day Field Trip to Canberra from 10-14 September. Shall have to arrange with Dad and Colleen to look after Frances for me. Along with the crickets. Will ensure I only have one tub of crickets, tops, to keep alive. Shall have to plan out stuff for them so they need only spend a couple mins each day worrying about her and the crickets. Joy! lol Hopefully they'll be willing to give her a pet, if not hold her, most of those days.
Went and saw the X-Files movie tonight with Brett and one of his friends. OMG! How does he manage to befriend such weird people?! *amused* He sounded like he was drunk, he slurred his words so badly. Yet that's apparently how he talks! Hmm... now that I think about it, I do hope he doesn't have some sort of speech impediment... But he smelt of stale cigarette smoke, so immediately my defences were up. I made Brett sit between us. XD No way was I going to have a stink-induced headache! lol Plus the guy does not have an Indoor Voice. Not even in an cinema. *epic sigh*
Movie was alright. I enjoyed it enough. Plus it had
Callum Keith Rennie from Supernatural (Wendigo), Due South, Masterminds, a couple X-files eps, eXistenZ, Excess Baggage, Timecop, an ep of Dark Angel, an ep of Tru Calling, the Battlestar Galactica mini-series, and a whole SHIT load of other stuff I've not seen. Hence? I was happy. *hehee* David Duchovny's eyebrows, however? EE! Scary, scary things. They looked like they'd been shaved/plucked and were mostly non-existent.
I've been so tired of late. Yesterday I went to have a nap around 7:30. I ended up getting up a couple hours later to turn off my computer, brush my teeth, before falling back into bed. *sigh* Then I woke up a little before midnight and couldn't get back to sleep so I started a new Dr Who book (my brother buys them all and I've finally gotten to the Martha Jones stories). I read a few chapters before I finally was tired enough to fall asleep. Then, of course, I got a wonderful Test Text Message from Uni for this new system/thing they've got set up. *too lazy to explain properly* In a nutshell? If there is another storm/blackout/shooting they can inform everyone to tell them classes are cancelled/buildings are damaged and closed/there is a CraZy person on campus. *nods* But it woke me up a little after 9am and I got up after failing to fall back to sleep.
And I'm tired! And it's not due to over-sleeping. And doesn't feel like lack of sleep. And I've got plenty of vitamins and all that in me. And this leaves Stress and Sickness. *raises hands in "weighing" motions* Not sure which I rather. Either way, I'm having some strange dreams. And losing touch with reality with the "Was that a dream or did someone tell me that the other day/week?" Must get some study done to try and stave off Stress and/or prepare for being too sick to study. XD
