I found a lot of old mouse pooh when I was cleaning the cubs' room yesterday. Not impressed, but it looked like there hadn't been a mouse in there for months.. probly not since Kittenkong came to live with us.
Tonight, however, she caught a mouse and brought it inside to play with. Tch. Rescued the puir wee thing (so cute such lovely shiny eyes) and put it outside while idiot cat kept hunting in the kitchen for her missing prey.
Had fun at the Aquarium today. It wasn't too crowded and we only stayed for a couple of hours. As part of their birthday thing we bought the cubs a soft toy each, one got an orange crab, the other a shark. : ) I got myself a fishy key ring (like the soft plastic orange one Soulsis gave me only yellow) and a clear, small bouncy ball with a tiny pretend coral and fish inside. So pretty.
When we got home, housemate gave the cubs their present early - I don't know why - one of the new Bionicles each. End of day result, 2 very happy cubs who went to sleep early cos they were tired out.
Heh, and their actual birthday isn't until tomorrow...
Right, you'll have to excuse me, I'm off to hyperventilate myself by inflating the 30 or so balloons that will be covering the cubs' bedroom floor when they wake up... *g*

This bodes well – one of my major objectives of the holidays finished in the first 2 days. : )
The cubs' room is done, clean, shifted around and all of the stuff for the op shops is already taken out of the house. The final count was 8 bags of rubbish and 15 bags of unwanted things, (though 2 items came back home with us cos the cubs really couldn't bear to part with them *rolls eyes*).
I think I might tackle the comically overfull hall cupboard while I'm on a roll...
What I really want to do now is sneak away for a few hours by myself and write – hn, probly not until at least Wednesday.
Joules sent me a url for body jewellery page earlier today. Some gorgeous pieces there amongst the nipple shields – one of my cubs was looking over my shoulder at them and he exclaimed: 'They're beautiful! Some of them look like bey blades..'
I guess it's all perspective. *g*
Now, about Joules' latest Dystopia fic, 'Angelfish...
Eeep!
Gods damn I am a complete amateur by comparison in the torture genre! I kneel at the feet of the master! (Mistress? Whatever, I'm down here bright-eyed and breathless waiting for the next gem to pop out of that labyrinthine imagination.. : )

[hands over bananas for tenshi's ningen...] Nice photo, Talon-san! [eyes Lutra] What, exactly, is a woodgie? It sounds like a variety of budgie...
Well done for sorting out your cubs' room. I must say you're more tolerant than the ningen - the bratling gets two warnings and if he hasn't tidied it by the third it just gets thrown out... Brutal but fair, I suppose.
Speaking of the bratling - he wants his own blog. The ningen says she'll set it up for him from her cluster: we'll see how long it lasts!
And did she tell you she's aiming to draw a picture a day over the bratling's summer holidays? Heh, baka na manuke! How does she think she's going to manage that? [shakes head at overambitious ningens...]

Hey, Talon, that hair colour really suits you. : )
Oh and Ripley's a woodgie as well! ^~^
Congratulations on ratling's job too, onna :) I can imagine how much of a relief that is for you.
OK, one page in to the next Dystopia chapter, though not the follow-up back story...
Cool! BeBop starts in ten minutes. : )

*exhausted - drags self across floor by fingertips to keyboard...*
Ok, I'm exaggerating. : )
Cleaned the cubs' room today. Took the best part of 8 hours; there was 6 shopping bags of rubbish and 9 bags of stuff to go to the op shops. There's still a small mound of their crap cluttering up the hallway but looking at it it's all stuff that now has a place to go to so it won't be too much of a problem. The cubs' weren't a substantial help, but more help this time than usual. With luck and the wind behind me I can shift their furniture around tomorrow. At the moment their wardrobe is behind the door which means when the floor is knee-deep in stuff (most of the time) I can't put their clean clothes away without risking life and limb, or at least a turned ankle. :) I figure, if the wardrobe is right next to the door, it'll be easier to get to.
Yes, I am an optimist! Why do you ask? *g*

(nicked from Onna's blog:)
Two questions??
Gohan And Piccolo
The master and pupil relationship. Gohan and
Piccolo were always so close friends, but they
were much more than this. They love each other
and it is obvious.Everyone knows that they want
each other and no one wants to stop them.Be
brave and kiss him(her). I'm sure that he(she)
will return the kiss and the love that you
feel.
Which DBZ yaoi pairing are you ?
brought to you by Quizilla
*grumblepout* I always get Piccolo/[fill in the blank] in these sorts of quizzes.
Maybe I should stop answering the questions [*still boggling* only two questions?] honestly? At least Gohan's the other half of the pair...

Joules' Gremlins page is up and it is very, very cool! The pics are fabulous, the background works, the story still makes me giggle…
Brilliant job, Joules! See? You had it ready on time! And YAYAY! Happy blogging anniversary!
(Oh, and happy anniversary, Onna, for your blog, and didn't Talon have an anniversary in there too? *g*)
OK, here's what I'd like to accomplish this school hols.
1: Clean the cubs' room. They've promised to help and ideally we'll have it all sorted, the furniture swapped around etc, over this coming weekend. The impetus for the help is that their bedroom floor won't be covered in balloons when they wake up on their birthday morning if the floor still can't be seen the night before…
2: Clean my room - especially getting rid of the pile of stuff at the base of my bed, it's the only part of my room I haven't been able to get a handle on.
3: Some writing. I don't have high hopes for this, school hols are never particularly productive in this respect, but there's a few things I'd like to get through. The next Dystopia and AC chapters, a follow-up chapter to the Shinju/Okami back story I just finished [my first yaoi, I'm so proud : ) ] and the second part of Cathouse Ellis… plus the little thing I started for Talon and Das' Black Dragon… and I promised to beta something for Sammi… *sigh* and then there's my novel… and wasn't there a Mahrayne backstory I was planning? Hn, maybe I better extend the deadline to the end of next term! (Hmm, 'haddock' is already taken, but wasn't 'bananas' also put forward as an alternative word for 'time'? *smirk*
Bananas, I need bananas!
Hmmm… no, I don't think that has quite the same ring to it…)
Other than that I plan to sleep in lots, get some quality fun time with my cubs and just kick back for a little while. I think I deserve it…
As I mentioned, it's the cubs' birthday next week and as usual I've left it too late to really have anything organised. However, their father and I are planning on taking them to the Aquarium on Monday, just the family, no… others, and then a smallish party at our local steak-house restaurant on Tuesday.
We had hoped to get the cubs bikes for their birthdays, or an aquarium, but unfortunately the finances couldn't quite stretch that far this time. I have got them, however, a load of fishy-related stuff, a HRE Milo Returns video, and a cup each with their initials on them. That should do. : )

*happy squeak* I think I was the first fleshie to see Joules' Gremlins page! It's come together very nicely – I love it! (Of course, Carli's dead chuffed as well, so pleased in fact she fiddled with ICQ while I was chatting to Joules.. tch...)
I only meant to nap for half an hour...
Was feeling a bit weary after I got the cubs home from school so I had a kip on the couch – and woke up and it was almost 7 p.m. Ack!
Had an odd dream too, was living in a house with the cubs and their father (not our current house) surrounded by loads and loads of his girlfriend's stuff. I had a tantrum at him and told him exactly what was pissing me off to which his response was an amused smile and a warning that I'd be paying for anything I broke...
So, that was DBZ was it? Hn... I don't like Chi Chi but you've got to pity her; the cubs' father summed it up I think – 'Goku is such a jock..' : )
Hee, there's a 'ju/'kami backstory almost finished. I'm quite pleased with it. It came out of nowhere, basically, the facts sort of slamming together in my brain remarkably quickly.
Last day of term tomorrow; the cubs' got their half-year reports yesterday. One of them is doing very well, the other is 'making slow progress'. And they got into a fight at school as well. Getting the details out of them was a torturous process and I'm still not completely sure what happened save one of my cubs (the clingy one) punched 2 boys in the face and another in the throat – no lasting damage though, he hits like a girl. *rueful smile* I do know that it wasn't an unprovoked attack, neither of my cubs lash out for no reason...
Anyway, 2nd last day of school today and they had a visit from a media company – the children got to make their own animated videos which, naturally, we have the opportunity to buy. The cubs were very enthausiastic about it and I've got to admit it could be a load of fun getting hold of a video camera so they can make their own movies at home. : )

Ack! It's the last week of term! Good grief that's snuck up on me quickly...
Still, 2 weeks of not having to get up early every morning is not to be sneezed at. : )
It's the cubs' birthday next Tuesday as well – still haven't finalised anything other than their father and I taking them to the Aquarium 'some time', and as for presents? I know what I'd like to get them – it may not coincide with what they want, though. : )
Woohoo! Night Call is finished and will be posted soon I imagine – and I've just had an interesting idea of doing something with Jackson... (Remember him? The bastard tracker from Kitty? The one that makes Joules sweat blood in her desire to do him harm? *g*)
OK, so the Buu saga is finished and now it's ten years in the future...
Do we really have to have another World Martial Arts tournament? Who is the leather guy fighter anyway? And can I gag Pan, pretty please? Vegeta still looks good and haven't Trunks and Goten grown up to be a bit on the phwooar!! side?
Though frankly the thought of Majin Buu being 'good with the ladies' just makes me shudder...
You know, I think I'm over the whole DBZ thing... the fanon is far more interesting than the canon and as for Joules' AC...? *g* The charas there are easily the most compelling incarnations I've had the pleasure (and I mean that most sincerely *smirk*) of dealing with.
One of these days, Joules, I'll find a way to thank you properly for letting me play in your universe... *tackleGLOMPS*
