Nerds With Birds

Time for a quick update.

(Farm) We basically worked around the house and the farm all weekend. We got all the wire to build the next set of rabbit cages. 4 more and we are done! *woohoo* we got some wood to make a better roof over the quail/pigeon enclosure. Jay redid the opening on the water barrel to hold the heater thing and so far it’s holding - which means I can plug that in and keep the barrel from freezing which will eliminate the need for me to carry 2-Liters back and forth everyday :) and that makes me happy! The pigeon babies are doing good. Looks like they will be white spotted and brown. I took some pictures today (finally) and they will be uploaded tomorrow. I lost another bun last night - Alberta’s solid black baby. Now she has lost both her babies. Why? I haven’t a clue! They didn’t seem to be attacked - bitten or otherwise. They looked as though they just laid down and died. Just weird. So after this I’m contemplating having JUST the Angora’s. They are bigger, seem to be abit healthier, and I like them *L* but like I said I’m not for sure yet. I’m going to wait and see what happens around the 14th (her and sassy are due then) and if she has a litter - that will determine her outcome.

(Kids) Cody beat Super Mario Galaxy(Wii) this weekend. That boy amazes me! It took him a little over a month. He got the game for xmas. Emily has scavenged my nintendo ds these days. She can play the heck out of cooking mama *LOL*

(Hobby) I did a little sewing this weekend. Mainly fixing things but I’ve got the plans to make the ig’s a snuggle sack (dog bed) this week.

(Life - College) I have decided to stick with math. I’m going to go and listen and TRY to learn but I’m not banking on passing this class. Ahh well. It was going to cost $$ to drop it so I might as well stick with it till the end of the year. ASL is going great. It’s hard but I love it. I have learned alot in just a few short weeks. We were at bass pro the other day and there was a deaf couple there who were discussing which boot to buy. I was happy that I caught the jist of their signs until I realized I was ease dropping :/ I didn’t think of it that way I was just trying to see if I really learned anything. Biology is pretty rough - well it seems to be for me, but I think I should pass it no problem. Health? uhh well that’s a no brainer *L*

(Sweepstakes) Got a wild hair yesterday and played 56 online contests - didn’t win a thing *lmao*

(Movies) We got in several movies this past week/weekend.
Deathproof - can we say lame? I hated the b&w swap and the old film lines..plot was insane. What is the point of getting to know characters to see them die in less than 2 seconds? It’s a typical grindhouse movie plot - Come on now. 5/10

Balls of Fury - ping pong? What is it with my streak of bad movies? Lots of lame unreal action shots with a horrible story line. 3/10
Death Sentence - the latest Kevin Bacon movie. It was decent. I liked the plot and the shots - although very predictable. Overall a decent movie I guess. 7/10

Stardust - Weird and reminded me of the movie Big Fish. It was a good fairy tale/tall tale kind of movie though. Predictable ending though. Robert DeNiro was hilarious as a queen! 8/10

The Invasion - Slow to boot but it gets better. I tried last week to watch this and wasn’t able to - I fell asleep. This time once you get past the first 30 minutes it’s actually a good movie. I liked the idea of it and the ending kinda makes you think “what if?” 8/10

Underdog - The kids wanted to see this one. Man that is one ugly dog *L* The story was fine, it follows the same plot as the cartoon. Decent kids movie. I like Jason Lee for the voice - reminded me the whole time of Earl though *LOL* 7/10
