Wow! Beautiful pics! Sounds like you had an interesting afternoon :).
Yay! Happy anniversary! I guess, the moon never thought those crazy apes would ever touch it ;).
Funny family-note on the moon-landing: one of my brothers was in surgery to remove his appendix exactly when they were supposed to land on the moon. You know what happened? My brother woke up in the middle of said surgery and asked if they were okay and had landed. Seriously! The poor doctor!
Mh, I still have to watch the Pilot. The Strain doesn't seem to be that hit, huh?

it was an interesting afternoon! altho we got such a late start it wasn't much of an afternoon....

i love that story about your brother. i just bet the doctor was really confused. something like a fifth of the world's population watched the moon landing, and like 95% of americans.

i think the strain might not be my kind of thing, altho the second episode was a little better than the first because things are starting to happen, and after a couple episodes you can start to kind of care about the characters. (altho i still don't know who a lot of them are, and i don't know anyone's names.) but there's still some plot and character stupidity. but if you like horror tv it might be worth checking out.

It was the same doctor who helped delivering all of us (minus my oldest brother who came from my mothers first marriage in Eastern Germany). So, I fear he was kind of used to those crazy stuff *kidding*. He said later he WAS shocked, one of the nurses nearly fainted when my brother woke up in the middle of the surgery. Only my brother cannot remember that, because THAT would be really cool!

woohoo!

My gerbils Armstrong and Aldrin will have to celebrate extra hard today. (Naranbattar, Gerb#3, will also have to raise a sunflower seed to Michael Collins, after whom he was not named.)

[tsuki_no_bara]

you named your gerbils after astronauts! i love that! (altho who - or what? - is naranbattar?) they should celebrate in fuzzy little gerbil fashion. :D

[fannishliss]

Gerbils originate in Mongolia, so some of my gerbils have Mongolian names.

These three gerbils came from a lab experiment (a non-invasive experiment about CO2 production). So two of the gerbils are named after science heroes. Naranbattar is a beautiful ginger gerbil and his name means Sunshine Hero because he wanted a Mongolian name instead of a science name.

sounds like you gave your gerbil a superhero name. a mongolian superhero name for an originally-mongolian rodent. which is pretty cool. i wouldn't have thought that labs would even be able to release their test subjects to be pets, but that's pretty cool too.

Nice pictures! You do so many fun and interesting things. I always love hearing about your adventures!

I clearly remember the moon landing, for I am old!

[tsuki_no_bara]

aw, thank you! it was kind of an adventure, too.

my mom was pregnant with me so obviously i don't remember it, but it's, uh, kind of nice to know someone older than me does. (mostly because it means i'm not THAT old.)
