New pet

[jpskewedthrone]

So the new guinea pig has arrived. It's a nice chocolate brown and I'm thinking of calling him Coffee. I went and checked out exercise balls today (a big clear hollow ball with a door in it; you put the guinea pig inside and then let it run around the house without fear of damage). He's still too small for that at the moment though. Other than that, he's settled in rather nicely.

Plus, I had a nice visit with my mom (who found him and dropped him off for me). She didn't stay as long as I would have liked, but we did get to play Carcassonne, go out to eat, and watch a movie, so it was all good. I'm sure I'll be seeing her around Easter.

Now off to grade the first exam. Blech!!

Coffee

Sounds cute. And Coffee can have his own plantations next time we play Puerto Rico.

I do get the odd image of being over your place and hearing someone say "I need coffee" and not being sure how to interpret that remark.

Bwa ha ha ha! I have created a Carcassonne monster! My work here is done.

On the plus side, though, I bet you don't have anywhere near as much trouble with guinnea pigs knocking over pieces as cats...
