whine! whine! whine! - 07:26 PM
(filed under 'animal')
just before, i finally figured out why mcsparnicle has been doing this stupid almost inaudible whining thing lately, when previously he's never been that sort of whiny dog. it must be because he knows something's going on, what with all the packing & the boxes & the strange people coming & going through the house. i guess he's unsettled because he knows something is afoot, but he's not sure what.
maybe he thinks we're going to leave him behind. the last time we moved (when we came to this house), we actually did leave him behind: with the friend of the family who's renting the house we left, because we didn't have permission to have a dog here at first. obviously, we got permission after a month or so & he's been with us since then.
this time he won't be left behind. he's going to love our new place with all space to run around in & ducks to chase. 
very freaky link indeed - 07:18 PM

this is mainly so that i won't lose the link, but if you've ever seen that squirrel flash thing (wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!) & thought it was a bit of genius then you might be equally freaked out/impressed with this one. apparently, they like the moon.
the link was forwarded by someone on the toxic custard discussion group who has the kind of warped sense of humour which i can appreciate.
braxton hicks - 05:29 PM
(filed under 'baby')
i was wondering the other day whether i was having braxton hicks contractions, or if it was just rudegere pushing against my belly. i've been having them more lately & i've come to the conclusion that they must be braxton hicks, because my whole belly goes really hard from the inside.
if it was rudegere, i think the tightness in the belly would be more localised, rather than being tight across the whole of it, all the way around. rudegere is growing, of course, but i don't think he'd be able to push evenly from the inside on all sides of my belly all at the same time. when he gets bigger i imagine my belly will feel harder than it does now since he'll be a bit squished up in there, but even then, i think i'd be able to feel things like elbows & knees & feet, rather than an all-over hardness, like what i've been experiencing.
this or that - 05:05 PM
(filed under 'memes')
i've not played this before, but i saw the questions at melanie's blog & thought they were good ones. so here's this or that tuesday's ten questions & my answers:
- Surf sites at random, or have a set list of regular reads?
- Do you visit mostly blogs, or news or other sites?
- Do you go online every day, or just a couple of days a week?
- Do you allow comments on your blog, or not?
- Do you shop online at all, or at regular stores?
- Have you ever done online bill-paying/banking, or not?
- Which news site do you prefer... MSNBC.com or CNN.com? Or do you prefer some other one?
- Live chat rooms, or message boards?
- Instant messaging or e-mail?
- Yes or no: have you ever met, or at least talked on the phone with, another blogger? If not, would you want to? Why or why not?
a set of regulars, although i do like to surf at random sometimes.
mostly blogs
every day!!
yes, i like getting comments, it makes me feel luuurrrved.
i prefer shopping online.
all the time. i hate having to go into banks or the post office to pay bills. waiting in the queue really sucks.
well, i get the abc newsmail in my inbox.
neither really, but if i had to choose, then message boards.
it depends who i'm talking to. most people i prefer email, i only instant message with close friends, because they don't get offended when i have to go to do something else, or else just don't feel like chatting anymore.
oh yes! i've met heaps of online people in real life, some of them i now consider to be great friends.
although i don't talk on the phone to them much, it feels weird. even if i know them very well. conversations in text (unless i'm talking to them face to face) just seem so much more normal since that's the way we began talking.
