You really light my fire! 14 February 2008 at 10:53 pm by Jason 229 views

Guess where we’ve been the past 2 hours? If you guessed “outside in the 10 degree (-3 w/ windchill) weather”, you’re right! We were all gathered up by the cops pounding on the door because there was a fire in the building. Turns out, similar to the last time this happened, it was a furnace (this time on the 2nd floor). The fire department let us back in, but they’re still downstairs trying to get it all taken care of. Here’s some pics:

Fire!

Fire!!

Fire!!!!

Fire!!!!!

The entire apartment smells like smoke now, we’re cold, Mishka is upset at being taken outside (we couldn’t get Kisa in time, sadly… yes, she’s okay, but she wouldn’t get out from under the bed!!). It’s very annoying. They’ve turned off the furnace and now one apartment is without heat (they’re moving the family). I really wish this complex would take care of their apartments instead of waiting for them to break down first.

In other news, aside from all this fun tonight, today was a great day. I bought Jess some flowers, we went out to dinner, it was just nice (until this). So, let’s leave you with a nice image, a cellphone pic of the bouquet I got for her!

Roses are red!

Until next time!



+ Less than 24 hours to go… By Jason 21 December 2005 at 11:22 am 148 views 3 Comments

…and I feel like we don’t have enough time. :S So close, yet so far away… we still have to finish cleaning the house, do the laundry, pack, show Jess’ dad how to feed our fish, get an oil change, etc.

I wish I had thought ahead and had requested today off. That way I could have been at least helping get stuff done, rather than sitting here trying to figure it all out. Luckily we got a lot done between last night and this morning. The cats are at the vet (they also board animals), the last of our X-mas shopping has been done, I got most of the programs I need for the computers downloaded, I got the laptop charged, etc.

Okay, enough with all my pre-vacation worries… let’s see, what else is going on around the house? Jess is having me redo her blog, since she likes the way mine turned out (it will be similar to mine, but not exact)… so that should be done later today. Since we’re talking about blogs, I updated to WP 2.0RC3… very very nice! It took only about 2 min to setup, and another 4 to redo some custom settings! I love a lot of the new features, so if you’re thinking about upgrading, go for it!

Now then, onto the fish (and fishlike creatures)… Levi has eaten about half of his old shell, so I can stop wondering about that. When we get back I’ll have to take some new pictures of him… he’s gotten quite large. The Bettas are still doing fine, though I worry about their water while I’m gone. I’ve been doing 50% water changes every 2-3 days or so, and we’ll be gone about 5. I’ll have to test it when I get home and see how bad it is (I last changed it on Sat Morning, so it’s been 4 days), hopefully it won’t be that bad so I don’t have to worry about them. The other fish are also doing fine… the Corries have gotten quite big, and are doing great. The only fish I worry about in there are the Glo-Fish™. They have the tendancy to chase each other around and I don’t really know why they do it. I’ll have to do more research on it.

And last (but not least), the cats. We checked them out before we left this morning… Kisa’s eye is doing much better with the eyedrops, and Mishka is doing good as usual… let’s hope they come back from the vet that way (last time Kisa came back with worms, ugh!).

Okay, that’s about all the time I have for now, need to get back to work. Feel free to talk about your upcoming holiday vacations… hopefully they’ll be great! Next post will either be from FL, or when I get back (hopefully I’ll have some new pics for my gallery)! :)



+ Vacation ≠ Rest By Jason 19 December 2005 at 1:06 pm 142 views 2 Comments

Well, we have three more days till we’ll be heading down to FL… I feel like we’ll never be ready. We still have to clean the house (water is once again out today), do some laundry, etc… and if that’s not all I should have to worry about, it seems our kitten (Kisa) has developed conjunctivitis (pinkeye). Lovely. :(

I swear, you should be allowed to get a bonus vacation after you ever take a vacation that involves going anywhere further than your front door.

On the bright side (and a completely different subject), our lobster (Levi) moulted again… although he doesn’t seem to want to eat his old shell this time. I wonder why? Also, the snails are back to being healthy and since I just did about a 50% water change in their old tank, I may put them back. Now, not to leave anyone out, NoName (the rescue betta) is doing excellent and looks like he’s going to make it. His fins are regrowing some and he no longer has any stress lines. :D

Okay, well I need to get back to work (and back to finishing this blog… I should hopefully launch it before I leave), so that’s all the posting you get for today.



+ Harry Potter and the Gross Tapeworm of Azruntibar By Jason 16 July 2005 at 7:00 pm 36 views No Comments

So, last night (to make Jess feel better), we went and sat at Borders till Midnight, waiting for the new Harry Potter book. It was pretty nice, some oddballs dressed up (see below):

So, that was going to be the end of this post, but it seems that Kisa (one of our kittens) has tapeworms (gross!!!). We had to fight all day today to give her meds, and hopefully that should fix them. Let’s just say it was horribly gross… and I never want to see it again!Okay, that’s it for now… expect more later!
