i played some halo 3 tonight. it wasn’t quite as risque as those two porn star sisters but it was still pretty cool. except fragging makes me all testosteroney which, as i’m such a delicate flower, gives me a headache. weird. didn’t realise before tonight either how little i have played first person shooters on the console. in fact, this may have been my first time. how poignant.

winston’s website is new and improved! we can’t sort our shit out with the webcam for the moment, but there’s a news section and stuff, and some links, for those interested in seeing how piggies live. more to come, promise.

i’ve been getting into Consolidated heaps lately, just their late 80s- early 90s stuff. they’re sort of industrial hiphop dance music, with very heavy political messages. they used to hand out microphones at their gigs and on their albums, they’ve sampled a bunch of stuff that their fans had to say both in agreement with, and opposed to their views, which is very cool. sometimes their lyrics are fairly confronting, although i don’t think that’s always a bad thing. sometimes it’s good to feel.

bought teh burning crusade ’spansion for warcraft, so i’ve been spending my hours working, sleeping and playing wow, with a little bit of eating thrown in for survival. unfortunately my characters aren’t big enough to enter outland yet, but i’ve seen a little bit on k’s computer, and it looks amazing. i’ve made a blood elf mage, now level 15, which is just super fun (and b.e’s are incredibly hot too), and the new starting area for them is just beautiful. so yeah, i’m very impressed.

our gorgeous guinea pig is doing well. he was getting a bit fat so we reduced his pellet availability which seems to have helped a lot. he still gets fresh veggies / herbs twice a day, and a small amt of pellets in the morning, plus he has hay available all day, and that seems sufficient. my goodness, he is so cute. he squeaks and carries on now when it’s breakfast time (about 7-8am) and dinner time (5-6pm) whether we go into the kitchen or not. previously, he just wheeked when he heard us preparing his food, but now he seems to know when he should be getting fed. it’s so cute.

k’s started making music again, which is very exciting - go to brokengod.net to check out his latest song. it’s called “getting closer” and i think it’s a winnah! numba one!

i’ve been having the weirdest dream/s lately. i wake up several times a night, and each time i remember a different dream which is very similar to all the other ones i remember. full of friends, set in typical situations, but then something unexpected happens, and it goes crazy from there. in the last one i had this morning, it ended with me having to escape from this locked warehouse type thing, and i found this disused tunnel, and crawled up that, and then had to shimmy across this leather strap running along the ceiling, while i carried broken bits of razor blade. wah. i need an off switch.

went to the north coast for the last few days. what a traumatic experience that was for me. nature got to me, snacked on me … mr leech. wow. i’ve never had a leech before. it is possibly one of the most disgusting things to feel something sliding down your leg, and to look down and see your blood smeared all over your leg and this big fat slug lying on the ground feeling terribly satisfied with itself. ewww ewww ewww. unfortunately, i didn’t have the presence of mind to take a photo of him, but i will take a photo of my wound and upload that, because thats what i do.

our baby boy winston stayed with a friend while we were gone, and uncle d was there to document the event. i have also gotten around to uploading some photos of our little fur-monster to flickr, which you can see by clicking on my images link up top.

here’s one :

my husband is currently making fried dough. yay! yum! i don’t know what i did to deserve the sweet doughy goodness, but i’m glad i did it.

i have started playing warcraft again. i have named my character in honour of my first character, the only one i ever really enjoyed playing, only now i am horde instead of alliance. level 19 undead warrior princess. i am enjoying myself so much i have preordered my very own copy of the burning crusade expansion.

so now i must bid you adieu to eat my fried dough, play some warcraft and revel in the comfort and safety of my own house, safe from intruding critters and creepy crawlies.
