pet visitors

today yasmin came over with her rabbit, "Bruce", or "Bruce Bear" as she likes to call him.



He was soooooo round and fluffy and really a good rabbit - doesn't bite and not overly shy. this is the ultimate bunny man. but she found bernie and mimi scary T___T which is kinda true when you compare them... my one (still doesn't feel like it) is more like a hare than a pet rabbit since it's body is longer and face is sharper. the harness we tried to put on mimi couldn't even fit since her head was too small. T___T smaller brain?

yea anyways it was slightly frightening since Bruce seemed so calm and "docile" (haha she was saying if Bruce was a dog he'd be a labrador) and the other two was all hyper. but i find rabbits a bit scary since they move quick, and they don't make a sound like those silent villains in movies. like with a guinea pig you can tell what they're gonna do since they squeak or make chattering noises but rabbits are just so much more creepy. haiyah this is kinda sad. my rabbits are not that scary.

i let mimi out since girl and boy won't fight and i was wary of bruce potentially mounting mimi, but no. it was the other way around!! T_____T it was disturbing to see...

and even though "Bruce & Bernie" sounds like the ultimate guy-couple, Bernie looked too aggressive and hyper and bit Bruce from the inside of the cage!! (the T____T emoticon has lost all meaning)


*rush*


*ennngggh!* (struggling sfx)

so we didn't let them run around together in case anything happened. and when he was being bit, had no reaction! such a nice bunny!! (he is a bunny. less than half a year probably)

and when he met chinta,


we're the same colour!

he put his head near her face to nudge and tell her to lick him!
illustrated by the dutch couple (see, they're nice too):



but chinta, known for biting sophie when fiona put them together once, was looking a bit dangerous - her mouth was kinda opened. probably and most likely ready to bite. why are they all like this?

nothing happened though. and for the rest of the day, bruce just wandered around chinta's cage (she is inside) and behind the washing machine in the laundry. he didn't pee.


on another note....
sophie and bowlar went home yesterday and because the cage was all folded and put in the trunk of the car, they were put in the back seat of the car and walking around!! and they're quite talented too. when i was at their house - the person's house, not their cage - they can find their house (in another room) from the living room and climb the cage door to jump in to their house!

and they sleep so cute lying on their sides like this:



(i was blinking at her pretending to look asleep and her eyelids started drooping but when i stared at her, she stared back with eyes full open again.)


and since no pet talk is complete without biscotti, here:


after i called her name: "what?"

hugo cabret & grand illusions

omg youtube is in widescreen.

anyways

came across this book by Brian Selznick: The Invention of Hugo Cabret on the Borders website and can't wait til i see it in the shop!



the description of the actual book, more than the story, is what sounds most interesting
:

This 526-page book is told in both words and pictures. The Invention of Hugo Cabret is not exactly a novel, and it’s not quite a picture book, and it’s not really a graphic novel, or a flip book, or a movie, but a combination of all these things. Each picture (there are nearly three hundred pages of pictures!) takes up an entire double page spread, and the story moves forward because you turn the pages to see the next moment unfold in front of you.

here's the site, and a video interview on amazon of the author explaining the book.

there was also the author's links to "weird websites" like Grand Illusions which has articles, toys, and features on...weird stuff. like optical illusions, toys, etc
and things i found really amazing:

metal pen



the whole pen is metal and has no ink so that it doesn't run out ever. unless you drop it and break off the 'soft' nib.
it works on all types of paper but dunno how it works. apparently it's been used since medieval times.

resurrection plant (Rose of Jericho)


a small fern that grows in arid parts of the world and shrivels up and drops its flowers when its roots are dry, but turn green and unfurl again when moistened.

and this "dragon illusion" that i've seen in the clip of daniel radcliffe visiting a girl's magic high school in japan (youtube it. it's good)



where the dragon seems to be turning its head and following you when you walk left and right infront of it. you can even download the pdf so u can make your own dragon! hehe i did :D but hv to wait till i buy new printer ink to make it.

and also another site called "Barry's farm" that makes these super cute laptop cases!



ok. next post is a pets post.
