8th July, 2009. 8:52 pm. The Attack of Uwe Boll

In case I haven't apologized enough to the people I dragged off to the cinema in order to see "Alone in the Dark," allow me to first apologize once more. "Sorry about that!" Now, to make up for it, this fall/winter "Alone in the Dark 2" is coming out. Clearly a band of 1st movie survivors needs to be assembled because really, could the sequel actually be worse? I'll buy the Milk Duds and eye bleach!

And speaking of Uwe Boll's cinematic atrocities, I accidentally watched one last night: "In the Name of the King: a Dungeon Siege Tale." Early on in the film I was forced to turn on the subtitles. Not because I couldn't understand what the actors were saying, but to visually confirm via reading the subtitles that the main character's name was indeed simply "Farmer." Because he was a farmer.

Current mood: devious.

7th July, 2009. 8:29 am. POJBF release coming soon.

Just got back from another week-long biz trip this Sunday and collected POJBF from the rehabber yesterday. She's moulted all her primaries, secondaries, and tail feathers and only a couple are still in the blood--and nearly done coming in fully. The crack in her beak is totally gone. She might get turned loose this weekend. Definitely by the weekend after.

24th June, 2009. 11:53 pm. Escape artist!

Came home from work to discover a vacant perch. POJBF found a way to free herself, decided to go perch on a picture (ironically of a large eagle, though not super-ironic as all 5 pictures in the room are of raptors), and pooped all over the back of the futon. Fortunately the futon has an easy-to-wash blanket covering it.

Plus side: I like that she's actively seeking new and higher perches rather than hanging on her perch. It's an indicator that she's going more wild. Well, that and her hissing and footing my finger when I went to return her to her perch. Cranky (and viciously cute)!

Current mood: drained.

21st June, 2009. 11:21 pm.

Back from a week-long biz trip followed by a week-long vacation and just collected POJBF from the local raptor rehabber. She's in good shape and has gone a bit wild, neither of which was unexpected. The crack in her beak is finally gone and her beak looks good, if a bit short. She's about 2/3rds done with her moult. I should be turning her loose in a couple weeks.

Was walking Abigail this weekend and.... huh. Seems there's some hispanic neighbors that have a rooster crowing in their back yard. Can't imagine what that'd be for! :)

Current mood: sleepy.

1st June, 2009. 4:18 pm. 5, 6, 7, 8.

Tail feathers 5, 6, 7, and 8 all dropped in the past three days. Just 4 more to go. POJBF is a lean fat, mean nigh-domesticated, moultin' machine!

1st June, 2009. 7:31 am. Twilight? Seriously?

"Twilight" won an MTV movie award? That movie was utterly abysmal, heavy-handed, transparent as saran wrap, tedious, and had the depth of a petri dish. I am dumber from having watched it.

Current mood: bitchy.
