Sugar Gliders - Summit Park Mall
Category: pets
Today, (e:emilyjane) came to town and we went to kritterhut in the Summit Park mall and bought the sugar gliders today. They are seriously the cutest thing I have ever seen. We got one pair and are planning on getting another one for (e:terry). I carried them home in my bonding pouch.

They say I am supposed to bond with it about 2-4 hours per day. That is a big committment compared to the attention the tortoise requires.

I am in fact not allergic to them. At least not severly, like with cats, dogs , and rabbits. Maybe it has to do with their size. I did, however, get hives whereever it dug into my arm while climbing up my to jump off the top of my head. It like to climb up real high and glide across the room. They are fast but not too fast like mouse or a hamster so they are pretty easy to catch and a lot of the time they actually seem to seek you out. Here is (e:matthew) petting his.

They make the craziest noises

(e:emilyjane) ran around the part that she ran around as a kid.

Kids now-a-days like beer specials. This kids playground had a special on budweiser and hotdogs. That is the weirest thing ever.

The mall is so poor that every other store is more like a sign or statement. It makes the mall seem more liek an art gallery of sorts. Here is the former store, now happy birdthay message to jesus front.

Here is a gigantic army mural.

Once Walden Galleria came up, Summit Park's days were numbered.

Re: Beer and kids. The beer's for the dads who are supposed to be watching the kids, while the moms get their nails done... :)

Congrats on the newest member(s) of your family. They are damn cute and soo tiny.

The Summit park mall used to be a really cool mall. As a teen, it was a great place to be dropped off for the evening. Then something happened, and the stores dwindled down to nothing. Maybe it will eventually pick up again. I go there occasionally for the BonTon or Sears, where it is quite the luxury to walk into a dead mall.

I am equally confused about the beer and children. I guess they too need hydration after a long day. ? Until recently, there was a crazt mural on the outside of the mall. It was depicting the building (or tearing down) stage of the mall. It had paintings of bulldozers, rubble and, yeh, it was weird.

Anyway, Happy Bonding :)

Christmas Eve
Category: family
Christmas eve was great. I ended up not having to be Santa Claus. My parents gave my cousins kid one of those evil singing fish.

Windows Reinstall and Satan Claws
Category: computers
Today was the day that windows decided it was time to reinstall. It seems like once a year it needs this happen. I think the registry just gets out of control and then everything becomes crappy. Instead of fighting with it all I just backup my data to an external drive and reinstall everything.

Even though it is annoying, I think it is a good process to follow through with for anyone that needs to use windows.

Tonight I am off to my aunt's for Chirstmas Eve. It is the first year in about 5 that (e:terry) isn't coming so he won't be dressed up as Santa Claus [inlink]paul,381[/inlink] this year. He is instead going with (e:matthew) to his aunt's house. I can't go there because they have animals. I hope this doesn't mean that I have to be Satan Claws.

Paul, Is this something you might not be allergic to? God bless it, embrace the mammals, or rodents, or whatever the fuck a chinchilla is.. is that even really a chinchilla?
see you soon, love Sara

OMG... get one! Get me one too! I think they sooooOOoooo cute. Won't effect your allergies, will it Paul? OK, well, maybe i should read the link you posted before i ask you than, huh?

We used to go to a flea market in the Knoxville area and every week we were there, so were people selling their sugargliders. There were people there selling bunnies and birds, too. One kid was a pretty good salesperson... almost had me going home with a bunny.
