So I'm a little sad right now. It's kind of stupid but I was really growing attached to the little guy...
This morning I went out for a walk on a mission to catch a butterfly for my Goliath. I caught one on the first try. "Good," I thought. I figured since I will be home all day today, I could get him a feast. Butterfly for breakfast, and hopefully ( Read more... )

today was supposed to be Debra's and my turn to see LA and Huntington beach but plans fell through. Alex was called in to work for his Dad in Orange County. So, Debra and I are doing the next best thing (since our poor hearts were set on the beach)...we're going to Oceanside to boogie board for the day!! Hooray!!

I have to actually run to the ( Read more... )

okay guys, here it is....a picture of Goliath!! (i promised I'd put one on here)

not much happening this part of the globe. not as hot recently.
Luke and I spent the weekend renting Harry Potter movies and playing with my mantis. We have bought him a little vented habitat now along with some fake foliage to make him feel at home. He has a little ( Read more... )

Yesterday was probably the coldest it's been here since April. It was nice, although bad timing for Debra and I as yesterday we went to Alex's place for the first time to check out his pool. It was chilly! And his spa wasn't working, although we did sit in it for a while and try to convince ourselves that it was a "little bit" warmer than the main ( Read more... )

Yesterday Luke and I headed to Laguna beach to snorkel with some of the others from APX for the day. (Edric, Calvin, Paul, Jair, Eben, Sebastian, Debra, Evan, Tim, Colin, Jordan). Many of them had been there since the very early morning, but being their only day off, Luke opted to sleep in til noon first. We arrived there at about 2:45 but we still ( Read more... )

• the mantis will attack butterflies, bees, beetles, spiders, frogs, mice, lizards, and small birds (such as that poor hummingbird)
• they have very good eyesight and can see the slightest movement even up to 60 feet away. they have two huge compound eyes that can each look 180 degrees as well as three simple eyes in between the two big ( Read more... )

So yesterday evening, Debra stopped by to invite Luke and I over to watch the 40 year old virgin. Luke wasn't home yet but Debra told me that Evan had a surprise for me so I came over right away. I was a little disappointed when I discovered that they were just returning a lunch dish to me. BuT then...Evan's like, "no, look inside it!" and so I did ( Read more... )

Not much to talk about. Lynden, Evan's brother is in town for the week. So far he's been pretty rad to hang out with. He and Evan look so much alike, and they both love to tease Debra mercilessly. Lots of fun. Unfortunately we haven't been able to go to the beach again since Wednesday because on our way home from Oceanside the Bronco started ( Read more... )

Wednesday 5th,17:00 hrs
Debra and I headed over to the Synagogue down the street to see the Anne Frank exhibit that we had heard was on display there. Thought it would be a good way to take care of some of our free time. Unfortunately, we were a little late, and being a Wednesday, the place was just starting to fill up for bingo. We thought we'd ask ( Read more... )
