Those are fantastic pics Po, especially the first two! Love em...


On another note, I couldn't find the "Post stupid things people say thread", so I just thought I'd share here that today my co-worker asked me if South Africa was in Europe. Then she asked me if Africa was a continent.

Gonna check out an Ansel Adams display in Los Angeles this weekend. My mother and girlfriend want to see it also, sounds interesting.

There's a dwarf hamster in my kitchen.

Occasionally I hear her or him racing on the wheel.

My child and I volunteered to care for my child's elementary school class pet for Spring Break. I've never cared for a hamster before. The hamster is very cute because it loves to groom itself all over, burrow in the woodchips, nibble on sunflower seeds, and run, run, run.

I'm not used to being with a pet. I have this constant sense of someone else being there in the room with me, which feels strange. I need to clean its cage today as my top hamster-care priority. The sense that this little being depends on me feels like a huge responsibility (what if it becomes ill!?!)...which is probably one reason I don't have pets!

Erica, that dwarf hamster is adorable and I'm sure he's being well looked after by both of you. Vegangelica & Son's Hamstercare at your service! Unfortunately my son’s school no longer allows hamsters, guinea pigs and the like because they were mishandled in the past and became ill or died. Only hermit crabs and fish are permitted in the classrooms now. Anyway, I hope your son enjoys Spring Break with his furry friend! My son’s spring recess takes place during the first week of April. My daughter’s break begins after tomorrow, though. She's going on a trip with her dorm mates for the first time, to Miami. My daughter is the most teetotal, non-partying person (luckily for me!), but I’m still a little concerned about the “spring break frenzy” down there. She thinks it's hilarious that I'm so worried about it. I keep telling her, "Don't go to the beach late at night with people you don't know", "You remember what happened to Natalee Holloway", etc. etc. And she says, "Mom, that was in Aruba - and I don't even drink!", etc. etc.

Met a bunch of people today, and had two ask me if I was Canadian. I asked a friend of mine why in the hell people always ask me if I'm from Canada, and he was like, "It's only if you say 'about' or 'sorry' - you've got a bad case of the 'aboots' and 'soarys'."

I learn new things about myself everyday.

EDIT: I almost forgot to mention the interesting things I viewed in downtown Huntington. I was on the main drag, which is pretty much blocks and blocks with at least two bars on each. At the corner of one, my friend and I noticed a large group of people crowded around this drunk girl, and an even drunker guy. As we got closer, the argument escalated. He lifted his shirt up, and was screaming hysterically, "LOOK AT MY ABS!!! LOOK AT MY TATTOOS!!!! I WOULD DIE FOR MY ****ING COUNTRY!!!! I'M A MARINE!!!!"

It was ridiculous, yet horrifying.

Later, as we were walking back to the car, I (completely sober, having not had a drop of alcohol) passed by these two drunk girls who were weaving all over the sidewalk. I walked over to the side to avoid them bumping into me, and one pointed at me to her friend and slurred, "Watch out for that drunk girl."

My friend, as we were passing, asked what she said, and I told him, "She said, 'Watch out for that drunk girl,' " and then the two drunk women spun around and started shrieking at me, "What the **** did you say?! Get the **** back here!! What the **** did you say?!"

I just kept walking, as I didn't have any particular interest in getting in a fight. But there was something seriously wrong with Huntington yesterday.

I was just walking back from signing on dressed in a scruffy pari of jeans and muddy hiking boots and a coat I picked up from a charity shop and there was a woman stood at the bus stop just rond the corner from where I live dressed up for a night out and as I was walking toward the bus stop I had a bit of a stare and then as I walked past her and looked to see her face which theretofore was hidden behind a golden mane of hair. I was crapping it 'cause I thought she'd just say something like '**** off creep', c'ause I had been staring a bit too hard but she smiled at me. It was so blatantly obvious I was just staring at her ‘cause I wanted to **** her and she must have known that so I’m surprised she smiled at me.
