Back home, finally.

I came back yesterday, so that means that my internet access is now back to being irregular, at least until I can get hooked up. I want wireless, and DSL is totally not available in my area thanks to the really old and shitty phonelines. SO I have to go to my local Barnes & Noble for the wi-fi. I may be forced to get cable, yay.

No pictures today, sometime this week I will be posting some more AX pictures as well as some of the pictures I took at Wildlife Safari (my zoo-stop on the way down to AX), the San Diego Zoo, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and the Oregon Coast Aquarium, as well as scenery that I took after the con on the way back home. Did I mention that I'm animal obsessed? I don't hang out so much with animal-people online because they tend to be crazay, but I really am animal-nuts.

It's so freaking hot here that while I was away my hamster almost had a heatstroke, so my sitter took him to her place of work (she's a vet-tech) for the duration of my absence. No extra cost, and he's fine now. I took him over to my parents' house which is not actually hot enough to cook him, so hopefully he'll be fine.

Anyways, that's it for now. Yay.

Damn you just got home? O____o;; Sounds like you had a nice trip though.

Do you mean crazy as in, "I also like to draw anthropomorphic animals, dress up as one and have orgies"? Just wondering if they are furry-kind.

You should've talked to my brother's girlfriend about animals. She has this thing for drawing animals and reading books on them.

No, I mean "If you aren't feeding Organic Everything and keep your birds clipped you are a horrible, abusive bird-owner and deserve to die". Also, the last time I stuck my toe into the foul pool that is the Usenet alt.animal/alt.pet groups I got a crazay Internets stalker who 'revealed' that I was someone else. Apparently there is only one person in the world who owns birds, posts to teh Internets, and is named Gloria. There's a reason why I don't use my real name as my handle anymore. It would have been amusing, but she dug up some old posts where the other Gloria was ripping into an old forum member who had since died of breast cancer, and said that the troll was me. Not true at all.

The Usenet is particularly crazay, but I've had similar flamewars elsewhere, so no pet forums for me no more.

I think I met your brother's GF in passing, she seems really nice and I like her art.

Hah. I'll never forget the lady who called my store, freaking out that her new chameleon's skin was turning white and falling off. Um, that's called "shedding" and it's NORMAL. Reptiles do that, you know. *nods wisely*

Given that she had bought it a couple days before hand from us, well, having her return it would have not been as amusing. Alas.
