restless
That's basically how my life is these days. I'm always running around doing things, seeing people, going places. I don't entirely mind, but it does make it so I often find myself stressed and spread out, with no time to just relax and breathe. That's part of why I haven't posted in over two weeks. I've been too damned busy.

And boy was it ever busy. Read more... )

Meaning this is going to be the post that holds all my photos from the War Museum, from my trip to Montréal and the Biodôme and Insectarium there, as well as everything that happened this past weekend. I really need to get this all out of the way already!

Basically, the extended version of this morning's post. Because apparently I have the time and want to write it now... so I am. Read more... )
spiderling
I got home from work Friday to discover that my Pamphobeteus sp. "platyomma" tarantula, Pumpkin, had molted during the day! This makes me terribly happy. He'd only molted a month ago and has already molted again. He's grown a good 1/2 inch with this molt. Just to show you how much he's grown between this molt and the last...


The one of the left is obviously the one from Friday and the smaller one is from a month ago. The difference is huge, isn't it? It's amazing how that larger form was squashed inside that smaller one. Spiders are such crazy awesome creatures.

Yep... the girl who couldn't wait to live alone went and agreed to someone bunking on her couch. It's for a week or two... until July 2nd the latest. My friend got kicked out by his girlfriend after they broke up and he needed somewhere to stay until he could move into his apartment on the 2nd. And because I'm a nice and stupid person, I offered my couch up. Durh.

He hasn't been there for an entire day yet and I already miss my privacy. Feh. I don't mind him...  I just... mind not having my space. And he seems to keep trying to be polite by conversing with me whenever we're both there, and well... I just want to continue living in my home like I did when he wasn't there. I'm not his host, he's not my guest... he's sleeping on my couch. Bah. I'm weird. But this is the last time I do this.

In more YAY news, I'm getting two more tarantulas! A Grammostola rosea, and a Grammostola rosea of the red colour form. Two little 1/2" spiderlings which will be arriving Tuesday morning. Ah I'm so excited! More little darlings to love!

Plus my father says that he caught two more large spiders and is keeping them for me until they either come to Ottawa or I go visit them. Ah, my little zoo, it is expanding!

It finally feels like summer out. And by that, I mean ridiculously, unbearably hot and humid. Ah, summer in North Ontario. Oh well... I'd rather be hot than cold I suppose.

Anyhow, there's some stuff I should probably get done here at work... Cheers!

It is done!

I have officially bought my plane tickets out to Alberta. Oh man. I'm starting to fret a little about the flight... I've never so much as been near a plane, much less on one. The friend that I'm going to see did a good job of comforting me and helping me not to worry too much about it though, since she's taken quite a few flights in the last while.

Apparently I got a really good deal on the tickets too... cost me a little over $650 round trip, taxes and fees included. I'm quite satisfied with that price, personally. It's a lot of money, certainly, but it'll be worth it.

Holy shit I'm going to Alberta!!! *runs around like a maniac*
