Hamster Mail

Melissa @ 1:49 pm (Kritter Kabob,Shopping)

I’m looking at an oober cute hamster cage on ebay for Catnip.

Her cage is old and starting to slowly fall apart, it’s been a good cage and lasted me nine years through a total of one deer mouse and two dwarf hamsters but it’s time for a replacement.

The problem is the new cage I’m looking at has bars. Catnip is only two inches long and can squiggle through a tightly closed fist. She’s a robo hamster which in lamens terms = the smallest hamster you can get. She’s beyond tiny.

So I had to email the seller of said cage to request that they measure the spacing between the bars. The cage is nice, it’s tall with two stories a sleep house, water bottle, food dish, wheel and pull out cleaning tray but safety always comes first.

Now I’m just waiting on a response and I really hope they humor me in my request as I really want this cage, it’s a good size. More than enough room for catnip to romp around in and the price is phenomenal coming to a total of $22.15 including shipping. You can’t beat that, literally. If you go to a pet store you won’t find a cage lower than $35.00 and the size of those cages are nothing compared to this one unless you convert a fish tank.

*crosses her fingers* here’s hoping Catnip will get her present. Wish me luck!

Theme Quirks & New Content

Melissa @ 2:08 am (Site Updates)

I changed the theme a few days ago and everything is working fine but there’s a slight problem with the content pages, particularly the freebies and linkware pages.

Apparently the theme author thought it would be cute to float all content to the left which is fine if you’re just working with text but when images are involved things tend to get a little skewed.

So for now I’ve broken the freebies and linkware pages into.. well.. more pages. It’s the only way I can ‘fix’ the issue for now and even that isn’t solving everything as the addthis button is stuck to the sides of pages where the images aren’t big enough to take up the entire width space.

Annoying, but true and I have no idea how to fix it. I can design but I can’t code for shit, I make no bones about it and I’m not ashamed of it, it just isn’t my area. So you’ll have to deal with the quirkiness for now, at least all of the content is back in place.

Which brings me to announce there are some new things in the freebies and linkware sections. Lots of new wallpaper that most of you have never seen, a tenorikuma plurk theme, new vector illustrations, yzDock skins and a pack of background patterns.

I hope you enjoy them and sorry for the mess but I’m unwilling to switch themes at this point. I love the way this one is set up and I adore the fact that my social footprints are listed alongside my blog posts. It keeps everything nice, compact and up to date as let’s face it, I plurk and submit deviations more than I blog.

Sidenotes: there’s some new stationery and other goods up for grabs in my shop.

Douchebag award #1 goes to…

Melissa @ 9:27 pm (Site Updates)

Congratulations to shirteesdotnet for getting our first real douchebag comment award with comment #48!

I installed the plugin last week for fun but thanks to this stupid comment I finally get the pleasure of turning a stupid commenter into a cute little paper bag of douche.

Sorry but I don’t have sex with strangers and the topic of sex doesn’t fit into the current recession or typographical errors on price tags.

Recession prices at an all time low

Recession prices at an all time low

Mom went to JC Penny’s earlier to buy some cloths for my niece and we found the above tag while rifling through the pile to pick out an outfit for her to wear to school tomorrow.

If this doesn’t say something about the situation our country is in, I don’t know what does but you must admit the typo is quite amusing.

Note: the cigarette is there to prop up the card, it kept sliding across my desk
