Been screwing around with iGoogle for 3 hours now. ~twitch, twitch~
'Tea House' the theme (with the fox) is not loading properly.
Tried all the suggested steps, repeatedly. That includes resetting all data. Losing all gadgets.
Posting to the Forum. And poked some more.

~sighs~ I really like that background, not just because [info]chuckie_b used it to initially set-up my old system, but it speaks to me. ... Figuratively, of course. Yap.

I can't believe I wasted all that time and didn't even notice it. Yap.
I need a cup of tea and do something else now. Merf.

The 'new' BBC tv series Being Human really bugged me. So I wrote a creative and constructive review, with only minor negativity. Yip!

For those of the you that asked, the Sunday Doctor Who panel ran in this order:
Russell T. Davies, David Tennant, Euros Lyn, Juile Gardner, (unknown commentator with hand-written name sign)

It was worth the hours of wait from 7am to 10am. Though there were people in line from 8pm Saturday Night for this! 14 hours! Yipe! Let it not be said there are no Doctor Who fans in America. ;) Yip!

For Panel review, info and spoilers... )

Me and [info]steampower finished Season 3 of Torchwood tonight. Yip.

Aside from one nit-pick, and a few 'what-about' questions, I think it was awesome!... in that Torchwood heavy drama that hits with guilt-ridden angst that tortures your soul way. And they have scripting for more seasons, even if cast members don't want to come back. Yip. But Torchwood wouldn't be the same without Captain Jack. Yap. We will see. Yip.

Drama & heart-wretch that's Torchwood. Yip.

Wow. Fox needs a hug. ~merf~ Anyways, off to pack for Comic Con tomorrow. Night all. Yip!

We all have friends and associates that we value. Some are not personally close to us, but we enjoy talking with them, or hanging out with them or various things like that. Yip.

So, Me and [info]steampower went to over to San Diego Zoo Wednesday. ... Even with our Yearly Pass, it's been while since we have gone down. Yap.

We start in the usual location, Children's Zoo. The insect house rocks socks! Pass the otters to ... Michael J. Fox, the Fennec Fox is missing. ... He got hit with pancreatic cancer and was hiding well so they did not realize it till it was too late. They euthanized him recently. I played with the Meerkats a bit. After lunch, we walk through Cat Canyon. Passed Orson, the black Jaguar, to the end with our Clouded Leopard pair, followed by a quick U-turn pass the missing Corsac Fox exhibit... "WHAT THE HELL! There are freaking MONKEYS in my fox cage! I hate MONKEYS!!" is what my brain is screaming. We later find out that after Jeff died of liver failure last year, which we did know about; the two sisters were most likely transferred to another zoo. That, we DIDN'T know. Yap.

Oh, they moved down a New Guinea Singing Dog from the San Diego Wild Animal Park. But the exhibit isn't close up. Yip.

The only consolable highlight was the African Wild Dogs were actually active and moving about for once. They are super cute. I would have snatched up one but my duffel bag readied fox-sized, and they are a one size too big. Yip.

So the only close-up canine is Kenai, our white Arctic Wolf at the Hunte Amphitheater who is about 6 years old now. You can actually find lots of photos and video clips of him and the audience howling on the internet. Howling with him is a lot of fun. Yip.
