beating the first disc of final fantasy 8. i felt happier when i remembered it only took about 11 hours. fun times, they are being had. :D

This probably won't mean much to anyone but a die-hard "snake person", but my big female Midlands Water Snake(the one who had the 43 babies a little while ago), ate a MOUSE today! I was feeding the Rat, Corn and King Snakes, and one of the Rat Snakes was "in shed" and refused to eat(which is normal for snakes about to shed), and everyone else had already eaten their fill and even if one had eaten this left-over mouse, it probably would have thrown up afterwards(yeah, snakes will eat enough to make themselves sick sometimes-they're not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree, sorta the reptilian version of Cheese). I hated to throw the mouse away, since once you thaw them out(they're dead and frozen), so just to see what would happen, I offered it to the Water Snake. To my absolute surprise, she grabbed it and swallowed it, without hesitating! This is VERY rare for a Water Snake to eat anything other than aquatic things, like fish or frogs, unless you trick them by rubbing the "odd" food item with a fish or frog, so it smells like their usual food. I hadn't done that; this was just a white mouse that smelled like a mouse, yet she ate it as if she'd been eating mice all her life! Just to see if that was a fluke, I thawed out a smaller mouse, and offered it to her-BAM, down the hatch! This sure beats going to the bait shop and buying a bucket of minnows!

Got another package from the wondersite called eBay a few hours ago. Three new Sailor Moon artbooks, larger and in even better condition than described, plus a rare English version of a videogame based on the show. I suppose you have to be a fan of the show to really appreciate this stuff but happily, I am a fan. Overall the complete package was a major bargain. I'll be smiling the rest of the night. :)

My housemate recently gave me a present - more specifically, a bottle of Mr. Matey bubble bath, which I haven't had since I was a little kid. Brilliant; I'm looking forward to many a bubble-laden soak within it. :frankiesmile:

Something I found at Stop & Shop last night
 

Behold:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...125/SHLMSC.jpg

It's low in calories. It's low in fat. It has zero saturated fat. It's not high in sodium. It has no trans-fats. What it does have is tomato broth, mixed vegetables, and crab. ;D

Excuse me while I wipe a tear from my eye and prep the microwave. ;D

I found the small flash drive that had all my music on it.

Didn't take long to find, just looked at a table and saw it there.

And also, new Metalica album, listening and ripping to my PC right now. :D

I had a Smart Day today. :wizard: I'd been trying to figure out how to put an elevated water dish in my pinktoe tarantula's new tank since Saturday, and I figured it out today. And, I'd been trying to program a working ebay/paypal interface for Frankie's computer in my next interactive fiction game for weeks with no luck and no help from anyone else...and I just got it working. I am Awesome. :teef:

dude... you gonna eat all that? College food is terrible :'(

No fair! I haven't seen THIS in our supermarkets! I would SO love to stir up a pot of this soup, like NOW! I've had home-made Chesapeake crab soup once, and I've wanted it since then. Maybe Campbell's will come out with a Charleston She-Crab soup for us South Kakalackey residents!

My boss actually let me come home from work early today due to my illness. I greatly thank her for that. And after getting home, I took a short walk over to a Thai restaurant that I've been wanting to try for some time. I figured some nice spicy Thai food would knock the congestion out of my head. The staff was very friendly, and offered me a free cup of Jasmine tea while I waited for them to make my food, which was heavenly. :frankiesmile: I carried my food home when it was done and man oh man was it yummy! Not a bad price either. I'll definitely be going back again. :up: And their spicy soup with chili, vegetables and chicken in coconut milk sure cleared my head. And what makes it better, I have enough left over for another great meal tomorrow. :bloogrin:
