Everyone keeps asking about Pi-chan, and since I did mention that a few weeks ago I went out and bought him some toys, I wanted to finally upload some really cute photos.

Minako helped me find a store with some bird toys — it was a department store all the way up in Fukui! It’s pretty ridiculous that I had to travel that far (taking 2 trains and about an hour and a half) to get to a store that actually sells bird toys, and even then it was just a small rack like in a regular pet area of a department store. But his cage was so miserable, so I’m glad I got them. Now he has a ladder, a bell/mirror, a chain of hoops, another bells-and-balls thing, some millet, grass for the bottom of his cage (its actually rabbit bedding, but whatever) and a wooden nesting box.

If you’ve been reading my blog a lot you’ll probably notice that I’ve changed it yet again… pity, too; I just made a pretty nice theme to replace that hideous one I had been using for many, many months.

Joomla is a great bit of software, but it’s a bit overkill for a simple blog, especially considering that blogs are the one thing Joomla doesn’t do too well. It was good to have Joomla on my own site while I was developing other sites with Joomla, but at this point WordPress works better — especially because I can blog from my cellphone now (that feature is broken in the Joomla version of WordPress).

I really haven’t written much this month — especially this past week or two — with many things; installing Ubuntu 7.10 (yay!), Aeon work (another teacher quit due to stress, so now we’re down two teachers), artwork, and then regular stuff. More on that later… I have a bunch of posts to write this week, so check back in a day or two and there will definitely be more to read! For now, I’ve got to prepare for my transglobal D&D game.
