Missing Hamsters and Sunsets Over the Rockies

Danielle delivered tragic news to me a couple days ago. Remember the hamster pup I was going to adopt from Antigone's litter? (Antigone is Danielle's hamster.) Well, he died. This is a sad day! Poor Spot, the world was too much for your little, furry soul.

Spot is his name. I named him, you see.

Right now, all that's left of the once numerous litter is Runt and Porko. I'm currently slated to get Runt now, but who knows if he'll survive until January. Poor hamsters. I may just have to buy one if all these pups keep dying.

I often remark to my friends that Colorado has the prettiest skies. Well, when I was reading about the new World of Warcraft patch today, I happened to look up and see this outside my window:


I immediately dashed upstairs and got my camera out of the car. I went outside on the deck and took a bunch of pictures. Be amazed!



The whole sky was filled with these orange/pink clouds. The view was breathtaking, I assure you. I love Colorado!

I turned in my final paper for ethics class today. Only three classes left - and tomorrow is the last day for creative writing class. I actually only have two days of classes left, but they entail papers, final exams, portfolios, and group presentations. In other words, suckiness.

But then on come the holidays! Bittersweet holidays. But that's life.

Now, back to Warcraft. At the risk of making myself nerdy, I have to admit that the new patch, and the upcoming expansion in January, has me completely stoked. I may just re-active my subscription in the near future! Although it's likely I'll hold off until I'm done with school. Warcraft may be just the thing I need for the break, what with Jay's girlfriend back in town and all.

Well, I should probably start on my portfolio and paper. I've had all day to do it, and as of 8:57pm, I have done no work on them. I rock!
