Animals in my midst
Posted on | January 27, 2006 | 8 Comments
I don’t know what time it was when I first woke. I heard, what I thought to be, a cat playing with a bug. I realized as the dogs perked up and jingled curiously that while the sound was coming from inside the closet, it was also coming from inside the wall. The up-down curiousity of the dogs went on all all night. Who can blame them, really? They are bred to hunt, and they wanted a peice of what ever creature lives beneath my tub. So, we have lovely neighbors that live downstairs beneath the our home. I don’t know how I feel about this. I know that there are rats about. We’ve seen them dining in my birdfeeder, long, thin tail hanging down like a ribbon. I don’t mind rats, personally. I think they are cute, and although I know their fleas spread disease (correct me if I am wrong) I think they of them just as a part of the Nature of my household. As long as my four-legged family are out of harm’s way – I see no need to interfere. Although, the dogs “hunting” what ever lives there at all hours of the night will get old quiten fast.
Today is the last day I get to keep my window at work. I’ve taken comfort in watching the pigeon family fetch moss and bits of grass for nest. And the squirrles dance around the tree every morning, their tails like a flag hailing the busy traffic of dawn. I will miss my window. I’ve got to take my ivey plant home today (not named…I need to fix that) and repot it. There’s not enough sunlight at my new desk to warrant a live plant. I need a squirrel cam for my birdfeeder. I’m sure I would see lots of fun acrobatics.
On that note I am going to overmedicate myself so that my face stops hurting. I’ve been under the weather all week, and I feel it in my bones. I need to run. I want to run, but pulling even a walk out of what little energy I do possess is impossible. I will try to do it tonight.
I want this bean bag Of course , I want the red one. Don’t they look comfy?
gapingvoid: how to be creative (long version) This is great. I’ve read some of these tips in books and such (or something similar), but this is a great list. I’ve printed it out and put it on my desk at work.

Green Loop A happy shop. I’m always eager to share my eco-happy shops. Although I spend very little in the way of them myself, but mainly because I suffer from overwhelming buyer’s remorse and usually can’t stand to buy anything for myself. I need to get over that.
New York Hack This is a fantastic blog about a woman NYC cab driver. I think you can rework all of hour frustrations into a Florida experience. Well, except for the cabs. We just don’t have that many cabs here…. ::: sigh :::

This should make Frankie happy! People are starting to finally realize that there are good musicians putting their works into games and TV. I would really like a listing of all the songs in CSI (nevada – not the rest of them)
Happy Friday.

Oh forgot something, I find it really interesting and very cool that so many of the top videos are animated!!

I honestly thought that it worked. Oops. Never mind. If you’ve updated iTunes you are screwed.

Why are you losing the window? I should have bought you a lucky bamboo when I was down…it actually prefers no sunlight…or a bonsai…shit! we were supposed to go to the bonsai store when I came down…oh well, it will give us something to do for next time! : )

Yeah! Bonsai and coffee. Think it’s better than coffee and cigarettes, anyway.
My desk is moving from a window space. It will now face the atrium of the building. I will feel like I am on display until they get the blinds put in! …
