On the way home from work the other night I popped past Pet World in Renfrew and picked up some new goodies for my lovely little robovroski dwarf hamster Milky Joe (if you have watched the Mighty Boosh, then you will know where this name comes from) So after cleaning out her cage, I gave it a little makeover 🙂 Its super cute, so I thought I would be ultra lame and share!
A little strawberry house. Wish they had one in my size 🙁 Very Katy P!
A see saw, fruity nibbles stick that hangs from the top of the cage, and her very own copy of Hamster Times by H.Growling. This made me giggle when I saw it! She can rip all the pages out and use them to cosy up her bed. I think if I ripped up my Harry Potter books and used them to cosy up my bed, id wake up with print all over my face and papercuts in strange places.
Her little kingdom 🙂
The little superstar herself posing rather politely for a picture.
She seemed quite pleased with the makeover (well, as pleased as I can imagine she would be?) And last night was the first night in ages where she wasnt rattling around the cage as much. Maybe some 3am reading is keeping her busy haha.
So yesterday and today consisted making another set of bedcovers for the piplings pods. Lots of felt, cutting out, gluing, and painting. I positioned myself next to the heater for the majority of the day, the studio is pretty bloody cold at the moment!
Me with one of my friends! 🙂 haha. All the animation gets done in Canada, so these model piplings are just a point of reference for the children and the cameras. This is Lau Lau, she is my favourite! Has the cutest voice and she is the painter of the group 🙂 I could honestly work in childrens tv forever. I am having such a good time. Its hard work but its better doing ‘real’ jobs like this rather than being stuck in uni (especially in these last few months, when the pressure is on. I’d normally be getting majorly pissed off, nervous, and snappy with everyone and stressing about every little thing) When I go back to the academy I’ll have about three weeks to tie up any loose ends, do the oral review for my dissartation, and prepare for our degree show and graduation. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that jazz. I will miss the RSAMD, but getting out of it once and a while has helped me to not take it for granted.
Tonight after work I went to Braehead shopping centre with Leah. We had a Starbucks and a wander around the shops. I got this little beauty from new look, reduced from £25 to £12. There was only one littered amongst the sale madness, and it was my size. Fate, non?
I’ve not bothered to show you the front, its just a normal round neck. I think you’ll agree that the back is much prettier 🙂 Now all I need is an excuse to wear this! Not had many occasions for a dress recently 🙁 I am taking photographs at a christening next sunday, maybe I could wear it then! Sunday best and all that eh?
I walked past my ex best friend in new look tonight. There is a huge story – or saga is maybe a more appropriate word – as to why we are not friends anymore. It contains alot of ‘he said, she said’ and since she is still friends with a lot of folk from my home town (and I am not) I simply cant imagine how wonderful her side of the story will be. But at the end of the day, when someone betrays your trust again and again, and is a bit of a ‘chancing bastard’ (excuse the french) when it comes to life and how you should treat people… then ultimately years down the line it its all going to give head to an absolute disaster, or become a friendship which is worked at with the chance for it to be reborn. I tried to choose the latter, but when someone is stubborn and in denial then the only thing you can do is walk away. I’ll always wonder what she thinks, and what she tells people about us. But I think if we knew every little thing that people said about us then we would go quite mad. Anyone had any similar friendship ‘breakups’ or awkward situations? I bet I’m not the only one! 🙁

That strawberry house is quite amazing – I'm rather jealous!
You have good taste – I've got that New Look dress – I've had it for quite a while, but still haven't worn it yet – I need an occasion!
That whole ex-best friend scenario struck a chord. I had major drama a while back with my entire group of (now ex) best friends. It almost makes my blood run cold if I see any of them now. Which sounds silly, but is true! And like you, they're still friends with a lot of people we have in common, which means I've had the pleasure of hearing some of the delightful things they still (even after all this time) tell people (untruthfully) about me.
So I do sympathise!
Anyway, long comment!

Your hamster is so adorable! Love the dress too. I had a really similar fall out with my ex best friend she randomly stopped talking to meand five months later – on my birthday – she decided she was sorry and can I forgive her I did but a month later it got so awkward we don't talk anymore but recently she's started getting really petty and spreading stuff about me even though we haven't spoken in a year!

Milky Joe is gorgeous!!!!! Look at her! I used to have a big ginger hamster called Bubba – until it escaped, crawled round our house cavitity for four days, came out the same hole he went in, and had to go back to the pet shop. 🙁
That's a pretty bargain from NL, love the back of it.
April 16, 2010 at 8:16 amDid you not stick your foot out to arrange a little meeting with her face and the floor? Sorry that's mean. My sister has a tale similiar to this, friends (or ex friends) can be the most hurtful at times.

Milky Joe! Haha love it! She's such a cutie. Gah, sucks about the 'ex friend' thing. You've played it right though, sometimes it is best to walk away. Loverly dress!! xo

That dress is lovely 🙂
I have a few friends that I have drifted apart from over time, but no real 'break ups' as such.

You have the cutest hammy in all the land! And he has the most stylish house. Mighty Boosh name inspiration is super! 🙂
Yes sadly I lost touch with lots of old friends.. when you're at school all you have in common is being at school together. Then you kinda outgrow each other. You sound better off away from all that bitching and rubbish.xxxx

The friend thing happened to me once, but I think it's sometimes necessary to cut toxic people out of your life. Some people just suck the life out of you, and you're much better off without them 🙂
I want that dress!
