So I have been watching a lot of Planet Green lately, and I learned that Bill Nye is going to have a new series called, “Stuff happens.” And the “preview” of the channel ends tomorrow meaning that I will lose the channel and to upgrade to the package that has that channel, it would at least double the TV bill which I do not think I am prepared to do. The first episode is tonight, I guess I will have to see if it would be worth it.

Leo seems to have been chilling out, we believe it is just a teenage mentality. We did lots of research and most people say that Beareded Dragons get cranky around their teenage years, which Leo is now considered a teenager.

So this semester I am not going to school because of a mis-communication. I asked my mom to send me some money from my fund for school, she sent off the letter and she sent the letter but the letter never got to the bank, so I never got the money and therefor the school did not get the money so they dropped my classes. It does suck, but you know it is alright, I am planning to go to it next semester, but for this semster I am just going to work for full time and save up for school for the next few semesters.

This week I ordered 1/2″ crickets because a little while ago I bough 1/8″ crickets thinking that Mushu would enjoy those better, but no he perfers the biggest crickets he can find. So those should arrive later today and I am sure he will love them.

Leo has gotten huge and so Amy got him a 40 gallon tank finally. here are some new pictures of him in his new tank:

and guess what else? I got a new laptop, picture here:

Mushu also got new stuff in his cage here are pictures:

You may wonder why I am going so crazy with pictures. Well, the reason is my old camera died, however there was a recall on the model so I got a nice new camera in exchange for me giving me the broken one. It is a Cannon PowerShot SX100 IS. You can see more about it here. I got the black one and it is nice. A bit bigger than my old one, but that is perfectly alright, it has a higher resolution on its pictures and it is black instead of white, rock on!

Expect a normal post sometime later in the week, whenever I get around to it

So today Leo got so mad at me, I should have thought to take some video or something, it was crazy.  Here is how it went down:

I was sitting on our couch facing the TV, and I had gotten him out so he could explore like he usually does, I saw him bolt for the hallway and I got up to watch him to make sure he didn’t get anywhere bad. When I got close to him, he got angry for some reason. He puffed up, flattened out and started hissing at me, I just stood there looking at him asking him what is making him so angry. After about a minute or two, he starting hopping towards me, it was funny to me, but I can see why other animals would see that as scary. Not wanting to hurt him, but wanting to put him back in his cage, I jumped the couch and ran to my room to grab a towel. After I grabbed the towel I threw it on him. As blue, fuzzy, loud hissing bundle, I picked him up with the towel and put him back in his cage. I put the towel on the ground and sat back on the coutch. Somehow I was still making him mad so I put the towel over his cage and by the time Amy and Brandon got home, he had calmed down quite a bit enough that they were able to pick him right up without any problems. I am still not sure what I did to make him so mad but he seems just fine now. We all think that he just wasn’t feeling well (like a stomach ache or something)

I have been slowly trying to get myself used to waking up at 7:00 (or earlier) once again. I am using Mushu’s timer for his lights to wake me up, currently they are set to about 7:30 so give it another week and I will be up and running at 7:00am each morning for school and my job at the Utah Statesman. I need to save this money I get from the Statesman for more important things than impulse buys, maybe I need to make a 90 day list. For those who do not know, a 90 day list is a list you write something on, and if you still want it 90 days later then I can get it. In-fact I have just created that 90 day list here: http://blog.dattasmoon.com/90-day-list/ I will post things there that I want, you guys can comment on them if you want and if I still want the things 90 days later, I can get them.

Mushu is doing great, we put a lot more stuff in his tank, I need to take pictures, but my batteries are dead, give me till Friday, and then I will have them up for your viewing pleasure (or dread, whatever). He has a new favorite spot. There is a vine in there and he loves to climb to the top and just cling there, last night I found him there sleeping when I got home from work. I woke him up, and escorted him to his log for the night.

I have installed bugzilla here: http://bugs.dattasmoon.com/ so if any of the programs I make have bugs or you have any feature requests, please put them there.
