Note: I'm posting after midnight so it's technically a new day, but to me it's not really a new day until I've slept and woken up, so I'm referring to days as if it's still the 25th.

Yesterday's weather was crazy! It poured so hard for so long, it was ridiculous. :O The power went out for more than an hour, endangering my Icelandic eggs. Once the incubator cooled down, I ended up taking the eggs out and keeping the eggs against me in bed so they'd stay at least somewhat warm, LOL. I think they'll be just fine. It felt like a biblical flood or something yesterday, ahaha, it was so insane. I'm not sure how accurate she's being or what her source is, but mom says we got 8" or so of rain in just that one day.

Today was surprisingly nice and sunny, albeit a bit chilly. It seems the storm taught my chickens how to go in on their own, though--this was the first night that I went out to put them away and found ALL of them in the henhouse instead of in the run on their manzanita branch they like to perch on. I'm so proud! XD

Speaking of which, I took a ton of chicken pictures and pictures of my set-up the other day, and I ought to post them sometime. :) I have art I want to do this week, too, though, and it's kind of a busy week so I'm not sure when I'll have time to picture dump.

Someone from another state wants to buy my pure white serama cockerel! If she does buy him, it'll be nerve-wracking to ship him, but at the same time I know she'll give him an awesome home. We'll see how things go, it sounds like she seems pretty interested, though, despite the somewhat high costs of shipping a live bird. I'm researching how to ship birds, it's kind of amazing what you can actually ship! *Sends you all live swans*

I saw The Social Network last night with mom. Both of us were rather impressed! Great acting and writing, and I felt like the movie had a lot to say about trust, friendship, money, and a number of other themes, and ultimately that last scene keeps sticking with me. I've heard (only in passing, I haven't read much about the movie or the real creation of Facebook yet) that the movie is unsurprisingly not at all accurate about the reality of things, but to be frank I don't particularly care. I felt like the movie intended to touch on some themes/concepts and tell a certain story, and it did that quite well, and the reality behind it is only of passing interest to me. Anyway, I enjoyed it, I'll probably see it again once it comes out on DVD. :)

Not much else to say, my poultry are ruling my life as usual and not much is up on the fandom front. I did create a contact and "Not friends-only but comment to be added!" post, check it out if you want: pacificpikachu Off to play SoulSilver for a while and go to bed!

ayee babe <3 tried pming you a bit ago about the charges for the eva box :O guess the pm didn't go through?

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Apparently not? Aughhh LJ, PMs are so weird for me, that's why I made a contact post just now because I'm sick of LJ PMs not going through. :( Let me know what I owe you and I'll send it ASAP! Also, Shinji figure that goes with Asuka wasn't there? I know I still need to ship your your VHS, too!

[rikufied.livejournal.com]

It wasn't in there? O_O I'm pretty sure I shipped everything, but when I go back home next month I can double check? Anyways the total you owed was $37.80 to mareepish@hotmail.com <3 (: do you need my new address?

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Sent, sorry I'm such a slowpoke! ;___; And yeah, I checked quite thoroughly and no Shinji! Could he have gone to LPH on accident? Anyway, just hunt around for him when you're home and I'll ask LPH when I get a chance. And drop me an e-mail with your new address and I'll get that sent soon! EDIT: Oh, and my e-mail addy is phoenixfreedom AT yahoo.com!

When my Mom had her pet store, we use to get live snakes shipped to us! The funny thing is, the mailman had no idea what he was delivering until we told him!! XD

I like chickens, i wish i could own some, but I live in an apartment complex so it is a no go!! :\

Oh yes, I've heard snakes usually do pretty well in the mail! I think the strangest thing I've ever had shipped to me was live tadpoles. That is definitely an odd thing to get in the mail, haha! I also get fertile poultry eggs sent to me a fair amount and then hatch them in my incubator. It's so cool I can hatch chicks from eggs that come all the way across the country!

There are actually some chickens that can be kept as indoor pets! Seramas and silkies come to mind, they'd do perfectly fine in a rabbit cage and make excellent pets. :) I actually have three chicks in my room right now, and a mother hen and four chicks in the living room at the moment.

Tadpole obviously have to stay moist, so yeah...I agree a bit odd!! It is indeed awesome, I mean the way news, info and items travel now! What one can send and to where!! I hatched box turtle eggs once, we came home to find the mother laying her eggs in the driveway! She was there for a bit, digging the hole and of course laying the eggs! The following morning I came out and dug them up, I figured they would have a batter chance in the incubator...;)

Sadly, I am not allowed anymore animals! As it is, I have two cats which is against the rules of the complex, even though I did get permissions!! Despite, having the cats for a few years, it did recently open a can of worms when the office manager was fired! I almost had to give one of my boys up, but all worked out in the end, thank goodness! :)
