Oops, I've blogged it again.

Today was... frustrating to say the least. I was expecting to close escrow today... but it didn't happen.

So, instead, I made sure my blog that was previously maintained at selma.refugeisland.net was working, and set up a syndicated feed to my page. You'll find it on my friends page. (I got tired of trying to maintain redundant blogs, so this one is for general chatty stuff and the other is for my fanficcy stuff, except for anything that I'm doing privately.)

(EDIT: And it wiped out my friends page. Dangit.)

How to move a hippo....

(Found this in the middle of some moving/packing instructions on the web)

From MoversNet:

Hippos
You'll need:
1,000-gallon tank per hippo
1,000 gallons of water
Crane
1-pound sedative
Soothing hippo music
2 Aspirin (for you)

How to pack:
1. Fill your tank with 800 gallons of water. Start yesterday. Remember, a medium-sized hippo takes up at least 200 gallons. (Just out of curiosity, why do you have a hippo, anyway?)
2. Apply sedative. Take two Aspirin.
3. Hold it, hold it - put the hippo in the tank, first. Start with soothing hippo music, followed by a large winch and crane.
4. Now go relax in a hot bath before the forklift arrives.

WAIVER: We in no way advocate moving a hippo or any animal without the express advice and consent of your local vet or zoo keeper. If you'd like advice from a veterinarian on moving with pets click here .
