Mice, Rats, Blog Layouts, Broken Computers, and much much more.

First of all, I always feel embarrassed reading old writing (even slightly old) of mine. And I also feel rather embarrassed when other people read my stories. I don't know why. Maybe because I know it's not my best work, maybe because it is... I don't know...

Hmph. Random subject is random.

Anyway, I changed the blog design a bit. The black birds on white backround annoyed me. It made it pretty much impossible to find a text color that was readable no matter the circumstances. I like blue a lot, too. I may still fiddle with the design. It was a tough call between the blue watercolor-y backround and the white with splattered black edges backround

*long pause*

And now for something completely different.

So, I guess I started this post to say that my computer is going to be sent off for repairs. Some problem with the fan. So I'm not going to do much digital art until it comes back. So no posts with illustrations, and most likely not many posts at all.

Heh, she says as she writes a blog post. Also, my spellcheck is Firefox, and since I'm using Internet Explorer at the moment (no idea why this computer doesn't use Firefox...), you can expect a few typos and misspellings. I'm also not used to this keyboard, so that doubles the typos.

Oh, speaking of blog posts (well, we're more on the subject of keyboards and spellcheck at the moment, but who cares), you can expect at least one fairly soon in the future -- as soon as the weather gets warmer. I guess I lied about not many posts. Heck, there might be more then usual... based on the frequency of posts lately. I should update more ofte--

*Ahem*
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by myself getting sidetracked...
*Stern glare*

I will be posting soon (as soon as the story is concluded) about the Story of the Mouse. Basically, we found a baby mouse -- eyes closed but furred -- a few weeks ago, on the 9th. We were at a friend's concert when we found it (in the gravel parking lot of all places), and we waited for the mother to come, bu-- well, I shouldn't give everything away now, should I?

Oh, and while we're on the topic of rodents...
We will probably be getting rats soon! Once the mouse is free and everyone is healthy and up for getting new pets, we will try and get some from a breeder. We had a pair of female rats for a while, but we had to put them down, and we have since gotten a cat. However, with this whole mouse-saving adventure, we've learned that Zen (our cat and a great mouser at that), is more interested in the kitten milk replacer then the mouse eating it. I think if we keep doors closed and cat and rats apart, all shall be well -- and if the cat and rats meet, hopefully Zen can be distracted long enough to get the situation under control.

And I think that concludes our blog post for today, folks.
Goodnight, and happy late Easter.
