Wootage!

May 5th, 2008 by Crumpet

Went to the Convention Centre very early in the morning yesterday to see Neil Gaiman speak. Mr C teased me all the way there about being a total fangirl because he saw the present I had to give to Neil at the book signing. For the record, I gave him a little handmade blank book, and one of these. And yes, I am a total fangirl, but I also just thought it would be a nice thing to do.

Today I’m blowing off my theory tutorial taking one of my uni friends along to the State Library to see Neil talk again — one of the benefits of going to school in the centre of the city. I’m sure my lecturer will understand.

I promise I wouldn’t be this much of a slacker if I worked for you.

April 30th, 2008 by Crumpet

The last couple of weeks have been a combination of too much time spent at school, painfully slow capped internet at home, very little time spent at my workplace and broken wireless at uni. The broken wireless has been fixed, thanks to the lovely Kay House Computer Man. The internet at home is still horrid, which has been making it difficult to search for a new job, considering I have a grand total of twelve hours this week and seven hours next week. I’m ineligible for any Centrelink benefits because I’ve studied before, and the one scholarship I could possibly apply for at school had its requirements changed this year so that only second year students could apply. I need more than seven frakking hours work if I plan on surviving. Right now I can work Saturdays, Sundays and Tuesdays, if you’d like to employ me… I promise I’m generally less bitter than this. I’m quite nice really!

And now I have to head home so the Mister doesn’t get sad at me for spending so much time away…

An attempt to lure Alex out of the woodwork.

April 18th, 2008 by Crumpet

Alex has been somewhat MIA from his blog and my comments over the past while. And while he probably has lots of stuff going on, I miss him.

So, in honour of Alex (and with thanks to Michelle for the link) — houses of Teh Awesum.

Henry.

April 17th, 2008 by Crumpet

Henry went to the vet for his surgery yesterday.

Here he is pre-trip. He was very excited to go to the vet. As soon as we got remotely close, he figured it out and started pulling ahead. He loves the vet.

I must say, I think there may have been a little construction going on outside the vet. It got a little dusty for me and Stella on the way home. Okay, it got a little dusty for me. Stella didn’t seem to notice, being so low to the ground and all.

All went well. His lumps are gone and they were benign. Hooray! Henry celebrated big time, as you can see here:

The sad panda face was nothing that some cuddles, treats and a day spent with his sister couldn’t fix, though. This was the face that greeted me when I arrived home:

And just for fun, astronaut Henry shows off his piebald tummy!

i can has giggles

April 16th, 2008 by Crumpet

A few minutes ago, I mentioned on Twitter that I tried “real” Turkish Delight for the first time today. All I’d ever had was that horrid chocolate covered stuff from the supermarket, and as a result I was terrified as a kid of it ever getting anywhere near my mouth.

So m1k3y made me a picture.

Two lumps with his tea.

April 12th, 2008 by Crumpet

Okay, he doesn’t drink tea, but young Henry does have two lumps. A new little one on his chest and a big older one on his side. Mr C took him to the vet today, and I’m skipping uni on Wednesday to take him in for surgery. I iz worried, but hopefully it’ll all go okay and there won’t be any sign of the big C.

I’m also rather worried about how we’re going to pay for said surgery, which costs somewhere in the hundreds of dollars, but it has to be done. If you’ve ever, ever wanted to buy anything from my shop, now would be a good time (or if my stuff isn’t your cup of tea, there’s a handy dandy Paypal donate button to the top left of this blog page)…
