Geeze! Just going out for rat supplies is a fricking adventure. Some fiend decided she was too good to wait in traffic like the rest of us and almost side-swiped me trying to make a merge that I refused to let her have. I'm not one to be bullied... even in traffic.
Glad I'm home now. It's a little early in the evening for it but I think I'll just get inebriated and pound the hell out of my heavy bag in the basement. Need to put the fear into the neighbors again anyway.

Luna is insanely obsessed with freedom and the pursuit of "OUT!". She cannot be swayed with food, affection, or self-preservation. It is due to Luna's insane need for the "OUT" that I found the painted brick in my apartment's sun room is actually false. She had started to chew through it as she does all things in her path including s tank lid partly made of aluminum, and various bedding items (like my new Velux blanket!)
My other rat, Lucy, is responsible for socializing her to the point that she can be picked up. I hope Luna never becomes ill because a vet visit would be catastrophic. Luna is also very creative with her feces and likes to plaster them on the sides of the tank with bits of fur and bedding. Modern rat art... perhaps a comment on man's inhumanity to rat.
Too bad you can't have pets right now. I always seem to have one creature or another. While I never had an ant farm, I did succeed with sea monkeys and triops. Triops are the best because you can see them better and watch them shuffle through their substrate on the top of the water.
Do you grow anthing in particular in your back garden? I have to share mine with downstairs neighbors who have no respect for others' property. Mostly I use it for the occasional workout and barbeques. The best so far was my graduation meat pinata. We filled a pinata with meat and candies and whacked the hell out of it... then roasted his innards.
Lately I have been neglecting my garden. I did try growing vegetables (spinach, onions etc) and some herbs in it at once stage but I haven't bothered with it for some time. Last time I checked I had lots of strawberry plants. When I moved in there were a couple of strawberry plants growing in the back lawn. I transplanted these into a flower bed and they flourished and kind of took over the flower bed!! There is also a small apple tree in my back garden which seems to have seeded at some point from the somewhat larger apple tree in my next door neighbour's garden. Perhaps the most unusual plant in my garden is Black Mondo Grass , which I refer to as my 'goth grass', on account of the fact that its leaves are shaped a like blades of grass but coloured black (although it is called "Black Mondo Grass", it is not a type of grass - it is actually a member of the Lily family)
Note: Although my brother is my landlord, he doesn't live in the same house as me. When I was 17 he went to work in the USA and after a number of years he moved to Canada where he still resides. I share the house with a bloke whom I met at university years ago.
