i keep falling asleep at my computer, again. a couple of times i have awakened talking.

i need to read a new book, any suggestions? The last book I read was The perks of being a wallflower.

ari's hamster died. we opted not to go for a siberian this time because supposedly they are "meaner" (and his was kind of.)

I picked out this copperish furry little guy. He let me hold him and seemed friendly.

We took him home, opened the box and he stood up and hissed at us! Hamsters hiss?! It also chattered, which it hasn't done since. We are calling it Gizmo because of her deceptively cute appearance.

Anyway, this morning Gizmo bit my finger, hard. She drew blood! This is only the 2nd hamster I have had. Is this normal behavior? I even let her have her space, she built up a huge wall out of shavings so that we can't reach her without rearranging the cage.

I have been a little errant with taking my med.'s and i can tell a big difference. not positive differences either.

I think i am going to dust myself off and go to an art opening on Fri. and a show on Sat. What next?
