To Busy to Blog? Say it isn’t so!

If anyone’s wondering, I had a very nice birthday last weekend! ^_^ 24 now, go me!

Went to a wedding that weekend, too. Josh’s step-brother’s wedding. It was actually pretty nice, and the rain held off until the end of the ceremony (unlike my cousin’s wedding last year, heh), but there were still lots of “we’re not doing that at ours” moments.

Busy with summer semester classes, too. Most are online, though, so it’s not too bad.
We’ve started biking to our one class that is at school, though. Saves money on parking and gas, and gets us excersizing. The first day of class, we discovered just how woefully out of shape we all were. Getting better, now. I should drag out the home DDR set and do that more often, too.

Busy with the site, too. Getting ready for my next (last?) big move. Yup, that’s right, changing again. Bad business practice, but it turns out the company that owns kittycaps.com is starting up a business that makes hats for cats. Seriously. I found that out when I wrote a letter to the company owner to ask if I could buy kittycaps.com (because people can’t remember the .ca extension). I really don’t feel like competing with that sort of thing; thought it’s not technically competition since it’s a completely different product and market. I just figure it’s similar enough to confuse the people who already aren’t sure how to find me, so I’m eleminating the possibility. I’m hoping to be able to scrape together enough money to actually trademark my new name, not just register it with the government. That’s like $300, though, so we’ll have to see.

Our house is full of crickets. I hate crickets. I hate them more in my house.
The guy who lives in the basement (the landlord’s son) was renovating all last fall/winter, so the ground-level windows were off the house for about 4 or 5 months, so we figure the original ones got in then since that’s when we started occasionally hearing cricket chirps in the wall by the stairs. This past week, however, they’ve been coming out of the woodwork. Literally. At least two must have gotten in and gotten busy, and now they’re proud parents because in the past 4 days we’ve killed 17 crickets and found 3 more dead in a spider web under a step. Up until yesterday it was kinda funny, because we were having a competition between the 3 of us to see who could “hunt” and kill the most (we use a dustbuster!), but yesterday there was 7 of the 10, and it went from “annoyingly amusing” to “downright stupid” so now we’re gonna call the landlord and complain about the infestation. It’s gone well beyond a reasonable “bugs in the house” level.
Stupid crickets.

Someday, I want to not be poor, and live in a house where only I, Josh, and the cat(s) live. No roaches (Jane & Finch appt.), no squirrels or raccoons (basement appt.), no ants (Josh’s appt.), and no crickets (here). Gah.
