Pip's New Home
Mood: delighted
No more plastic "paradise" for Pip! I've given him a much larger, more natural environment. Bella and I went to Petco to pick up crickets and I ended up getting a HerpHaven, complete with a "rock" dish for wading and a "boulder" cave. Pip especially appreciates the terrarium moss, which is currently his preferred means of hiding. Bella bought a cute little "plant" for Pip, which provides yet another hiding spot. I think Pip has yet to do any real exploring, but he doesn't appear to be in shock like he was after I transferred him to his new digs.
In the pic I took, Pip is hiding under the moss in the bottom right corner. I was fully expecting to find him in the cave at the top of the pic, and panicked a bit until I found him under the moss. (He's still a small frog!) The wading pond is in the bottom left corner. Small crickets may or may not be seen in the picture.
In other news, I've discovered I really like Spanish ska. I'm currently listening to Ska-P's "Revistas Del Corazon". They really rock! Sort of like a Spanish version of Madness, but more rockin' and less silly.
I'll admit I'm a bit nervous about becoming a Godfather tomorrow. Not so much of the becoming as the "event". I have the job of lighting a candle for little Evan. Bella will write his name in "the book". I'm sure it will be over before I know it, so I don't know why I'm nervous.
I was disappointed to not find a CD burner in the price range I was hoping for ($30). I don't know that I can warrant spending $50-80 on a CD burner right now. (So I opted to spend the money on Pip's new home instead.)

Cut Hours
Mood: so ready to see Bella
Thanks to the cut hours at work--a cut of 16%--I have already been home for over a half hour. But that's good: I am so ready to see Bella! We are going to eat cheaply but goodly. (Yes, I know "goodly" is not a word, but I like the sound of it. Bella could even go so far as to give the literary term for such a thing, I'm sure!)
I was going to look something up on the Internet (I thought of it as I was waiting for the bus home), but now I can't think what it was. Oh well!
Hey, just FYI, I am currently reading C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy, starting with Out of the Silent Planet. I really enjoy it so far. I was looking for a good series of books to read and it looks like I chose wisely.
Anyway, Bella will be here soon. Gotta go!

Evan
Mood: sleepy
I took a couple good pics of Evan, my soon-to-be Godson. I will post them when I'm not so darn sleepy. As it is, I slept for a few hours at Bella's house. Felt kind of bad as she was just sitting there watching me sleep. (Not the whole time, I'm sure, but still.)
I was hoping to ride my bike to work in the morning, but I don't know if I will feel like getting up early enough to clean it up. We'll see.
Now? Sleep.

Hideously Bad Movie
Okay, so not all of the DVD's I bought at the 99 Cents Only store are good so far. The Jackals, starring Vincent Price, has acting that's bad enough to make the movie bad, but not so bad as to be funny. (There's a fine line there.) Maybe I'll pass the bad ones along to my brother, Daryl, so he can build his DVD collection! :P Teehee....
Publishing Problem
Mood: too tired to be frustrated
I tried adding a thumbnail/link to my photo blog, but Blogger is having problems publishing my blog right now. I'm hoping this post will reset whatever is causing the problem.
Oh, tomorrow (today, actually) Bella and I will be going to the prep class to become Godparents of little Evan. I'm gonna see if I can get a picture of him and I will post it to my photo blog.

Wedding with Bella
Mood: tired
No, it wasn't our wedding, but Bella's cousin's wedding. We went there with Bella's brother, Mark, and her mom. It was nice, but not what Bella and I have in mind for our wedding. For one thing, the wedding ceremony itself should be more than 10 minutes. A decent DJ is a must, too. (Charisma goes a long way, DJ lady!)
Anyway, I had a printer issue with Linux last night, but I finally got it resolved this morning. Now if I could just get my CD burner working....
