        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Word got around that I'm ready to have a pet again so someone with a pig that had four babies (poor momma!) contacted me and, after going to see them, I'll be picking two sisters up on Monday since my work schedule and Easter are far too busy. I don't like the idea of leaving two new pets alone until I'm sure they'll be able to settle in and aren't too confused by their new cage.<br /><br />They're calico colored and just so cute! I can't believe how soft their fur is and they didn't really mind being held. One of the sisters had pretty wide eyes, so I could tell she was scared, but I think with her bolder sister around she'll do just fine. I still can ]]></media:text>

In my case, these are things I developed in interest in since childhood. They rank in this order: The Brave Little Toaster movie (first one only), the Tintin comics, and Alice in Wonderland.<br /><br />Well, Lewis Carroll is dead, as is Herge, so only Jerry Rees remains (and he'd better for a very long time!). Here's the thing: If I am a fan of something I really want to have something special of it as well as let that person know how much I admire them.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So on Monday I was holding Scuzzy before work when he peed on my hand. Nothing unusual until I picked him up and saw blood. I knew right away it was a urinary tract infection so I called work, told them I'd be late, and then got Scuzzy to the vet where they started treatment via shots, which will continue all this week.<br /><br />On Tuesday I thought he was dying. He wouldn't eat, drink, or pass feces, just urinate blood. I gave him a warm bath which got him to potty but had to make him drink using a syringe. On Wednesday he began to improve and now today he has a decent appetite and his urine just has small traces of blood in it, so the UTI is going  ]]></media:text>

Apparently my mom had suspicions, and I had heard odd noises, but we were positive on Tuesday when droppings were found and a cracker box chewed through. My mother went to Walmart and bought these hockey puck shaped traps where the mouse is supposed to go inside, but not come out, which was her ideal trap since she didn't want to see the body.<br /><br />At work on Wednesday I asked for any advice and Brad, my housekeeper buddy, was super nice and actually went back to his house to give two traps that he said worked really well and were reusable.

There was a really cool bird show there, but I ended up getting mad at my mother because she got in the way of what would've been an amazing photo so I decided to go off on my own. However, it turned out the park was run by the Octo Mom who wanted more children and suddenly a bunch of armed men stormed in to kidnap all the children. I'm not sure what happened to the adult, but I'm guessing it wasn't too good as I never saw my mom again in the dream.<br /><br />I tried to esc ]]></media:text>

I have the day off today so I decided to go there for something to do, not really expecting much when I saw the place initially, but it was actually a lot of fun! It's just a shame that the way the enclosures are rigged up there weren't any good photo spots. While there was a good variety, I'll just talk about my favorites there.<br /><br />I wish I could remember their names, but right there in the building where you pay are two adorable tiny monkeys dashing around in a cage.

I'm actually on the third day of a ten day stretch and I think I'm going end up working like 12 out of 14 days. What stinks is that we've hired a new person to replace the school girl who was bullied into quitting by a lady who did the same thing to a previous hire. The new lady, I've heard, is like 20ish. The thing is she has some "issues" so she was allowed to shadow us and see if the job was for her before she applied and was pretty much instantly hired. This lady doesn't have the ability to know whether or not she's capable so that ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ First off, thanks to everyone who commented on the Scuzzy anniversary journal. I really love the little guy so it means a lot that you took the time to read it.<br /><br />Anyway, my mom's known this lady for awhile who has always been a little "odd". I can tolerate a lot of things, but now she's just creeping me out. She's currently attending what my mother calls "Ghost Classes" (I have no idea what the real name is) and has told my mother that I'm sensitive and have seen one of the ghosts in her house. She then asked my mom if I've ever talked about it and if she'd be supportive of me.<br /><br />Errr... No, I have never seen a ghost in her house. I get creepe ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Exactly one year ago I got my dear little guinea pig Scuzzy. It's hard to believe it's already been that long and I hope we have a lot more time together to look forward to. Having this little fellow around truly gives my life meaning; I've kind of given up on trying to develop real life relationships with people so it's nice not to be totally alone. There's nothing better then having a lazy little fur ball snuggle against you and lick your hands. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So I think it was last Tuesday that I had an upset stomach at work, puked a little, and went home. That was also the day the door knob stopped working and I was stuck in my room for an hour. I thought I knew what was making my stomach upset, but then here comes Saturday and at the end up my work shift I ended up getting super sick again and nearly vomited my guts out after I felt like I was going to die and could barely move.<br /><br />I was already feeling bad, and didn't eat much, so on Sunday I just had a bit of toast. Funny thing was that I got up early because I was starving. I decided to try feeding myself first for once instead of taking care o ]]></media:text>

I was foolish and had faith that, as supposed fans, Spielberg and Jackson would do justice to the comics I love with my all my heart and soul. I couldn't have been more wrong. You know how I was worried about the way Haddock was represented in the trailers? He was worse. So much worse. That was not the man who was the first character I became a fan of. That was not the man who made my pathetic childhood just a little bit brighter.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Got home from work and saw that the Jem and the Holograms Totally Outrageous box set is down to $39 on Amazon! Major happiness as I ordered it immediately. If you don't know what the show is, keep an eye out on The Hub. That's how I found it. Better late than ever, right? My generation missed this show by just a wee bit.<br /><br />Sorry, that's all. Just super excited and can't wait to get it. 65 episodes for $39. Best. Deal. Ever.<br /><br />"We are the Misfits, our songs are better!

I went on two train rides, visited an aquarium and a zoo, and also took a boat ride. None of them were too fancy but I enjoyed myself. I got to touch a gorgeous stingray and the zoo had a bat exhibit I spent a ton of time at. I just love bats and I'll never understand what people find so creepy about them.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Ugh. There's nothing worse than it being 90+ degrees outside and you work in a kitchen where they're having issues with the air. Heck, the only place that is nice in the hospital is on the floors that the patients are. The heat is so bad that some coolant lines in the ceiling are leaking and so there's buckets all over the place to catch the water. The tiles will need to be replaced of course and already look disgusting and moldy.<br /><br />It's even worse when it rains, though. There's a bad spot in the kitchen where we get our own little waterfall and of course it had to be near my work station. In other areas rooms actually get flooded so pretty mu ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Ack, this is serving as a reminder I really gotta cool it with my funds! Of course with the Tintin movie approaching they're producing super cool merchandise! While there's tons of Tintin stuff out there, and I usually do have a good sense of self control, I can't help it when it comes to Captain Haddock. I've loved this character since I was a child and would love to have a little section of my room dedicated to him. Right now I've got a shirt, a statue, and I've just pre-ordered a second statue that based on his movie version. Seriously, please consider seeing this movie when it comes out. It looks very promising.<br /><br />Secondly, why oh why are  ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So you know those two guys who took in the previous tenants' cat? It was pregnant. It gave birth to six kittens yesterday while they had company over. Just imagine talking with some friends when one suddenly say "Your cat's giving birth!". It's a good thing they were home when it happened because with one of the kitties they had to open the sack or it would have died.<br /><br />I wish I didn't work so much because I'd really like to see them. I think I'll sneak the camera over as well and see if I can get a few pictures in provided the momma isn't too stressed out.<br /><br />Other than that not too many exciting things have been happening.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I thought yesterday, my only day off, that I'd be going shopping at a place that's a little over an hour away from where I live. I'm so happy that didn't work out! Instead my mother and I helped her former manager and his boyfriend move out of their apartment. It was great to get out of the house for awhile, plus they're really great people and I got to pet their cat Flow for a little while. I also found out that Nick is my cartoon soul mate. While I was helping them pack we got to talking and he recognized nearly every show I threw out there so soon we're going to get together and have a marathon. It was wonderful to find someone who knew wh ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I had the misfortune of getting to know about the Duke Nukem series through an acquaintance and now my stomach churns whenever I hear about the new game that's coming out.  I can't go on a gaming site without adds popping up for this game featuring half naked women parading about.<br /><br />Without even playing the games it's easy to deduce they're simply about a neanderthal that only cares about working out and degrading women. Duke is your every day male stereotype which should have no place in a civilized society, much less be a "hero" in a video game franchise. I really have to wonder about the type of men who play this game and are attracted to s ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So this morning I wrapped up my Reboot viewing with the bonus disc. I wish there had been a bit more to it but I'm thankful for anything at all because Shout! Factory is one of the few companies that go above and beyond with getting as many special features as they can as well as assembling a very high quality set for a fair price instead of a bare bones release (I'm looking at you, Disney). Really they did well for a show that wrapped up in 2001.<br /><br />I'm extremely happy Shout! got through all the licensing issues so I could see this wonderful series again. I recalled watching it on Toonami, and that I liked it, but details about it in my mind w ]]></media:text>
