This Is My Life.

greenstormWell. I haven't been very independent lately, but I've been enjoying myself nonetheless. I went to Hellboy with 'them' and recognised explicitly that i have a huge appreciation for comic-book sensibility, especially that cartoon sort of moral dilemma/dark loneliness/huge powers/we're different because we're alone thing going on. I think that in some ways comic book stuff like that serves as the abstract art of storytelling.
My rat babies are growing like crazy, which is wonderful. :) I looked at the local (Vancouver Island) rattery page again, and they have new babies up. I'm thinking, well, three wouldn't be that much more than two... *sigh* They've got one named Myth, which seems like a sign... *sigh* ...but no impulsiveness right now, I think. Perhaps in a little while. I do love those I have, and training them's definitely some work.
The garden's mostly being done by the Juggler over there -- due to the new system (which I like so far) I don't tend to 'hang out' over there much, and so most of my time is focused and therefore not private gardening time. I don't feel any pressure to change that yet, though I expect at some point I'll start going to visit the garden instead of people. We'll see how that works with this shift I'm making to more alone-time with people. I worry about running out of time, or treading on their time with each other, but that can of course be resolved as it becomes a problem or beforehand with communication.
Our sofas are gone, replaced by the futon, so we now have to sort of sleeping venues in the apartment. This may simplify things.
Now I need a big hammock stand and/or a cooshy basket chair, because the futon's a pretty sit-upright sort of furniture and I never sit upright.
There were a bunch of movies previewed that I want to see, specifically I, Robot (I will close my eyes through the credits so I won't associate it with Asimov's stuff, then I'll enjoy the booms) and something about some guy bent on vengeance where he blows things up to kill John Travolta. I like things blowing up.
There is also a movie called 'White Chicks' which is probably the movie which I least want to see in the world. Not sure how these particular previews were supposed to be targetted, but they seems to be a bit scattered.
Also, I need to get a bunch of plaster-hangers, to stick some things up on the wall. We'll be here for a bit for sure now, not moving, so might as well settle in.
Take care.

Re: Fuzzy ferrets
Date: 2004-04-06 09:38 am (UTC)Have you read the recent Savage Love column? I guess second-most-recent now.
It's the scaly legs and scaled eyes that do it for me.
I do like fish, but they're in a different class of pet. The only commitment you need to give them is environment, not socialisation.
House hippo? nooo... I have seen no commercials. I did read a science fiction story about mini genetically engineered elephants for pets, though.

Date: 2004-04-06 09:58 am (UTC)Yeeeeeeeeeeees, I did read that Savage Love. I giggled. Charlie did a bit of that, but the budgies don't seem inclined. I *have* noticed that when they get excited their feet get very hot. And when you wiggle your finger just right in front of them, they bob up and down and their pupils get really small.
Yup, fish are a different dimension. i should look at Mouses more.
