NOW I AM CONFUSED... is the hamster preggers or not? "She" is definitely bigger and rounder than the other two. If she gets on the wheel when another one's on it, the other one is forced to loop the loop by her very weightiness... Because these animals are so very wild and flighty (it is an achievement just to get them to walk on you, let alone stand still - and even then they're only looking for a chance to jump off) it's been almost impossible to sex them and very hard to establish whether Spherical really is with children or just bigger ... or (this only struck me today) from another litter and thus older. I have no idea and only time will tell. If she really is pregnant surely she will get bigger and bigger as days pass? Then again I once caught a pregnant mouse... had no idea that she was till she actually gave birth. (This was when our house was utterly overrun with mice. I thought if I keep the babies and somehow tame them I can have free pets. (The mice they sell in pet shops, and for that matter the ones they use in labs are only domesticated wild house mice.) But it didn't work that way: all the babies (the size and colour of baked beans) died within about five hours.)
I tried to answer a tag earlier (8 random things about me) but had to stop after two. Firstly I was hungry, but to be honest I couldn't think of any random things. Surely I have posted all? I suppose I could cheat and use my wild mouse breeding thing as point three....
By the way: am I a philistine or has Mariah Carey NOT got an amazing voice? I was quite shocked to hear she had won some MTV poll as "greatest voice of all time" - please no! That horrible breathy fluttery sound... applied to "trendy" R&B "roots" that she doesn't have... plus high notes with all the magical timbre of a dog whistle. Please! No no no!!

Oh god, Gled, I could not possibly be any MORE in agreement with you on the Mariah Carey tip. Since my high school days when she came out with that "sweet, sweet fantasy baby" garbage, I have been steadily less and less and less ... impressed. What IS it with this mtv bullcrap? I guess the proverbial bar is just so low nowadays. She's got a big booty, so whatever, right? Vomit.
And btw, thanks for including the original "Heaven." One of my old, classic favorites! Can't help but feel a sense of innocent love or the sense of having a school-girl crush on someone!! :*) That new, blazed-out version is shit.
Oh, I think she's a fine singer if you go in for all that show-off jumping three octaves on either side of the note nonsense.
Nice froggy. :)
Oh I do like Bryan Adams :o) He'd be one of the posters on my wall if I was still a girly teenager ;O)
If the hamster is pregnant and you successful rear the young would the pet shop buy them off you; maybe make your fortune. Just think Gleds; this time next year you could be a millionaire!
Rx
You can always sell the hamsters!
Mariah Carey has definitely NOT got the best voice!!
I do not want to hear or see Mariah Carey. She thinks way more of herself than she should. She thinks she's sexy and she thinks she can sing. She's wrong on both counts.
As for the hamster, I'm just guessing here, but I bet if she is pg she will be building some sort of little nest in which to have her babies.
Did you know Bryan is from here (Vancouver) gled? It's good to see a local who's done so well...do you remember the song he did with "Sporty Spice"?
Mariah...ugh. NO. And not only does she not have the best voice, but she does not have the best taste in clothing, as her micro minis are too damn short and the cleavage is a bit overdone (IMO).
I found the tag hard too....just not enough that's exciting or blogworthy about me.
I, too, agree on MC.
Do keep us posted on the hammy!
I am also not a MC fan! I prefer your Glenn Miller much more!
This is old, old, old but I thought of this site moments ago and thought it might give you a laugh.

I AGREE WITH YOUS ALL. MARIAH CAREY.. UKK! BRYAN ADAMS HAS A FAR PLEASANTER VOICE AS WELL. AND YEAH MS CAREY (FAMOUS HERE BC SHE DOES "NOT DO STAIRS" FOR TV INTERVIEWS AND DEMANDS TUBEROSE-CANDLE-SCENTED WHITE DRESSING ROOM) HAS EXECRABLE TASTE IN CLOTHES.
RUTH I AM ALREADY PLOTTING MY BABY ROBO BUSINESS EMPIRE!
I DIDN'T KNOW BRYAN WAS FROM VANCOUVER THO, DEBS... ALSO I SYMPATHIZE ABOUT THE 8 THINGS WHAT ON EARTH AM I GOING TO SAY..??
KAHSHE I'M OFF TO THE HAMSTER DANCE RIGHT NOW
I went to a Bryan Adams concert and he was one of the best live acts I've seen. Not that I've seen many. Gogol Bordello wears the absolute crown though.
what did you do to the five mice?:(
