Chinchillas are awesome! And low maintenance. Except for the hay.
A woman I work with runs a bunny rescue. The little descriptions she gives them are cute (well, a couple are heartbreaking, but most are cute). She usually gets the antisocial ones to become more comfortable with getting handled.
Oh, so in random news, over the weekend I was reading some old issues of Spy because, well, why not? In one, the name looked familiar, and it took me a few minutes to realize that (I assume) it was JZ. Neat!
They should have covered that in your exit interview, Jesse. i think you can get a 6-month deferment almost automatically, but you do have to ask.
My exit interview was jacktarded. Edit: And any information in it was about my new loans, not my old ones. I'm fine paying the bill, I just wasn't expecting one!
Note to self: Consolidate loans ASAP.
DawnK, you live on a BOAT? Dude. How is that?
One of my coworkers' friends got a boy bunny. Then she thought it had some kind of crazy anxiety issue, it tore a lot of fur out. Then in the morning, she was like "OMG, the bunny's intestines are all over the cage!" and then realized bunny was not a boy. And bunny had just had babies.
Man, that would be startling!
Oh, old loans, right. Yeah, I think I remember having to pay right away before the consolidation came through.
That's a crazy story, meara.
OMG! I do not want baby bunnies! Msbelle, I don't know if we have a craiglist, but that is a good idea. I have been looking in the paper for "free to good home" kitties.
Corwood, I'm cranky on your behalf and I'm really pro-indoor only cats (largely because my Sky died in my arms after bing hit by a car in front of the house when I was 9. But also because MommaCat died of injuries from a catfight found out roaming.) BUT, I realize that this is not an option for all cats. I know my parents' cats love their semi-supervised outdoor time, evenings and some mornings and would be very unhappy to lose that. So I'm a big meanie and all my cats? They will never know the great outdoors sans a leash or some shit.
OK theater people, I need some advice. My across-the-way neighbor girl asked me if I would help her do read throughs of her script for her theater program tomorrow night. I agreed. She's probably 11 or 12, and I don't really know her or, more importantly, what sort of things I can do to help her memorize a script (and hell, I've forgotten her name. But I do that often and have the embarrassed lines down pat.) So are there any sorts of tips for helping a presumed beginner practice her line? With a rank beginner helping her?
I'm kind of excited. I'm such a goof. But, y'know, kids. They are kind of neat. And I'm really flattered she asked. I mean, they've lived across from me for probably five years, and we just exchange a few friendly words. I'm pretty sure her dad suggested it because he sees me out on my balcony reading ALL THE TIME.
This is also the dad I TOTALLY JUDGE because of late night dance parties, but whatever. She was so adorable asking.
I'm a big dork.
Adorkable!
When I was that age, I just remember reading stuff over and over and over.
