I just realized I have not posted many rat updates at all! I think a lot of it is because my primary rat photographer has been out for the past three weeks (aka, fannishly). I take many, many pictures of the rats, but I suck at it, so they are all blurry and out of focus.

So, if anyone was wondering, the rats are indeed still cute. They are also still fat and flat and fuzzy, and they lie on my lap and are great generators of heat, given their small size. I took them to the vet last week, since Fitz-rat is wheezing (again!) and Fool-rat needed his yearly check-up, and the vet was not my normal vet, but she was very nice and has ratties of her own and admired mine a great deal! She also said that hers was going on three years. Mine are two years old, but apparently they are doing quite well for two year old rats.

This makes me happy.

Knitting-wise, I am still trying to figure out a way to do a tubular cast-on for 2x2 rib. My current way only looks good with 1x1 rib. I think I may have found it in a book, but said book is $30, so I haven't gotten it yet. Sigh.

And since I am bored:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "5 Sexiest Things About Eliza Dushku" or "Top 5 things to drink"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal.

Ah, yes, I forgot the peeing.

After reading The Amazing Maurice and his Technicolor Educated Rodents, I will always think of it as "widdling."

Heh.
