My wife made this incredibly cool pumpkin!

And then I made this ridiculous one:

Actually, my wife drew both of the designs, but she was the one to cut out the witch design. I don’t know what I was thinking or why I left the marker marks on the face. That’s stupid, right?
Also, hopefully, by the end of the year, there will be a new version of the site utilizing ACTUAL BLOG SOFTWARE. Then there will be much more frequent updates because it will be cool and not a pain in the ass to update!!
This article on Dunkleosteus just doesn’t seem to be very objective.

On Saturday, September 15, 2007, my beloved pet, friend, and child, Gato, passed away from the respiratory ailments that had been plaguing her for so long. I love her and miss her very much. She lived for almost 3 years, which is a lot for a rat; she’s lived on both coasts of the United States; she was a Hurricane Katrina evacuee; and she’s flown on a plane. Not many pet rats get to fly on planes.
These are some photos of Gato during the first month that we had her in March and April of 2005.

There is a brand new Three Ninjas song! Oh holy cow yes! You have to go listen to it right now!
Also, more baby photos are forthcoming, but I can’t find the cable for my cambra! I think my sister may have accidentally sold it on eBay.
I’ve been on vacation for a week, but I’ve been taking photos of the rat babies! I want to show you their progress!
12 Days Old
They pretty much have all their hair, and we’re pretty sure they’re all girls.
This is the one I call Gatwo, because she looks like a little Gato!

They’re moving around a lot more, and it’s getting harder to take good photos of them. This is the first day their eyes started to open!

I actually had a request from an internet user for more rat pics and videos! How can I say no?
Here is the cutest picture of the babies ever. I can’t believe I took this. You won’t be able to stop staring:

And here is some video of Gato, my tiny daughter. She is very sick with respiratory troubles. She became resistant to the medicine she’s been on for a couple of months, and now the vets are kinda scratching their heads at what to do next. You can see that she has trouble breathing. She a old lady.
I still say that I’m going to add more pics from my vacation, but in the meantime, here’s something. We just bought a new pet rat, Ann. The other day when I was cleaning their cage, I found THREE LITTLE PINKY BABIES!! Ann had come pre-preggered!
Here’s the little mommy on her own mommy:

As promised, I’ve put up a little something about my roadtrip. There you go.
Tomorrow I’m going out of town for a week and a half, driving from Seattle to San Diego and back. Then we’ll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia. All this to say that Erik wants me to post updates of our travesl. So I guess I will. Just letting you know.
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I wanted to tell you that there are two ways I would LOVE to die:
1. Eaten by zombie
2. Eaten by raptor
My friend Leia is doing a marine biology internship in Friday Harbor in the San Juan islands. She gets to play with awesome sea creatures all day and all night, which makes her probably the luckiest person in the world. Look at this:

What is up with paramedics lately? I walked up to this one paramedic yesterday and just started YELLING. For like ten minutes! I don’t even think the guy understood what I was really saying! I don’t want these people saving my life!!!
I’ve done something that Mathias has described as “nerdcore”. It’s a tree of all the species of animal that I own. I don’t own the whole species. Just a few representatives of the species. You know how I mean. Every animal that I currently own is on there, minus the shrimp. It’s hard to find complete taxonomic info on them. Plants are not on there yet because identifying plants is very difficult for me. There are LOTS of unrelated plant species that look exactly alike to me.
Click on the thumbnail and nerd out!!

We Didn’t Start The Fire (remix)
It wasn’t us that started that damn fire
It’s been there for years.
Seriously, it wasn’t us.
But we did try to put it out.
OMG!! I’m kind of having my own little cute overload here. Yesterday Jen and I walked into a pet shop we’d never been to before, and I totally cuted out. THEY HAD A LITTER OF DUMBO REX RATTIES!!!! THEY HAD ALMOST NO HAIR!!!! So natch, I had to buy one. Her name is Pi!!! Look how beautiful she is!! She’s a heartbreaker!!

Note her little ear-nick!!

In addition, we saw this baby McMouserson. He is VERY busy. Do NOT get in his way.

To: Jack Bolton, Mayor of Lilburn, GA
Re: Banning of Karaoke, etc.
Dear Mayor Bolton,
I understand that Georgia is already full of ridiculous (blue) laws, but the news that your city is banning “karaoke and just about any other party game from places that serve alcohol” (source) is just a little over the top. Are you sure you understand what governments are supposed to do?
Incidentally, there are also studies that show that cities with more churches also have more crime. Please ban churches.
Thank you,

Sometimes when I can’t understand the lyrics to a song, I change the file extension from .mp3 to .txt so i can read the lyrics.
When I was a child, I invented a system of cursive numbers, but my grandmother got angry at me, saying, “There’s no such thing as cursive numbers!”
This morning I found a baby shrimp in my apartment! And then there was another rabbit running around! And suddenly, later, there was a smaller blue shrimp and they were all three playing together! Rabbits and shrimps playing together as if nothing had ever happened!
Let this be a lesson for humanity. If I had a pet manatee, I’d name him Hugh.
Today I’m wearing a band-aid around one of my toes, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this experience, it’s that everyone in my department gets turned on WAY too easily.
We have very special guest for you today! It’s a guest dreamer!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!
Today’s guest dreamer is called “Katrina”. “Katrina” writes:
| “So.. I had this dream. I was in a closed off room with a stove and a big pot with water in it. There was this chick on the counter. (a baby chicken, not a girl). It was teeny tiny and oh so fluffy with big black eyes. For some reason I was supposed to put this live baby chicken in boiling water. I don’t remember receiving the instructions, I just knew I was supposed to do it. I couldn’t. The chick was just sitting there on the counter, facing me. She would ruffle her feathers and *peep* every once in a while. She did look cold, but not cold enough to put in boiling water. I then thought to myself, I’ll suffer the consequences, I will not boil this chick. I was then in some sort of back room, there were boxes and boxes of stuff, and it was like the back room to a restaurant. This little Yoda lookin dude told me that I must do what I think is right, even if everybody else thinks it’s wrong. I think he was referring to the chick, but I’m not sure. I say he looked like Yoda, but he didn’t really. He had the impression of looking like Yoda. Hard to explain. He was short and rather Chihuahua like, but he was human. I was then at a hotel, and it was like my high school reunion. Many people reserved many hotel rooms and they were all just open for everybody to walk around in. This one girl was drunk and passed out and somebody had ‘chiefed’ her by putting on layers and layers of other peoples clothing and by writing on her face with eyeliner. I think it said ‘go home’ or something. I felt bad for her because she was always picked on in high school. I then noticed that some of the clothes they had put on her were mine. I was mad. Then I was walking down the hall of this ‘hotel’ and it was more like a high school. I ran into one of my old best friends, Jackie. She looked great. I went to give her a hug and she turned her head the same way I turned mine so it was like this awkward cheek to cheek thing. I then left and went into my hotel room and was looking for all my jewelry. I found a ton of jewelry in the process, that was like jewelry I had lost years ago. I woke up. “ |
Thanks, “Katrina”!”"
If I were a sexy lawyer, I’d be pro-boner.
There was a burr grinder for sale at starbucks. You know what burr grinders are used for?
Iced coffee. Because iced coffee is cold! burrrr!
I need discipline in my life. I just realized i’m losing control. Control of just kidding!!!!
