Yeah, I'm going to be posting a lot about my snake for the next month or two.  Live with it! :)

So, I thought Sly (I think the name is going to stick) had a bad shed, where the skin comes off in flakes and pieces.  Usually indicative of a number of issues.  Most common seemingly beeing that the humidity isn't high enough; something I have since ( Read more... )

The newest school year (my 7th) started last Wednesday and, for once, I felt ready for it.  A lot of things came together nicely, I got my room ready in advance, got (re)organized, and moved some things around in my classroom.  Now things feel a lot more natural and easier to get around.  It's amazing how much a desk respositioning can make things ( Read more... )

Day 1 - Place snake in cage, spend the next few hours watching him explore and try to escape the enclosure.  Learn that he can reach up to the temperature gauge mounted at top of glass easily and that he can wedge himself into a tiny crack right behind the final stopping point of the lid.  When lid is removed, snake falls to the substrate.  Must be ( Read more... )

Holy crap!  It's 4am!  When did it become 4am?  (Happened one minute after 3:59am, moron ( Read more... )

I had nothing to do today.  Nothing.  I was so lost for action that I spent two minutes standing at the base of the stairs, trying to think of something... anything to occupy my time with?  Video games?  Overdone.  World of Warcraft?  Boring and nobody to play with since the guild jumped ship to Star Wars.  TV?  Bah.  Read?  Book three of The ( Read more... )

Been a while since I posted and I should have done the wrap up when I got back, but... damn, two weeks ago now?... I got back from PolyCon and I must say, even though I had a minor illness on the last day, I had a blast.  One of my more enjoyable cons out of the 18 that I've been to.

First off, Bad Movie Night: The Game was yet again a success, but ( Read more... )

One of the two conventions I go to each year is coming up this weekend and I'm so excited.  It's always the break I need, where I get to relive my college days (which is getting close to 14 years ago... oh my god! (By the way, I LOVE that parody song "We're Not Young"... hits way too close to home, though.))  There's some fun stuff planned and I ( Read more... )
