So last night I looked in on Waldo just after dinner time and found him in the standard âJâ position of a caterpillar preparing to pupate. According to the book, that meant he was due to pupate in 24 hours. This morning Waldo was still âhanging in thereâ.
Around 10:00 this morning I went downstairs to work on some beads, taking a peak at Waldo on the way by. I came up at 11:00 and discovered that caterpillars pupate a lot faster than I realized:
I meant it as a joke when I threatened to rename this “The Kitten from Hell Chronicles”, but looking back over the last entries there’s a certain ironic accuracey to that title. Time to catch my own doings up a bit. Got nearly the very last of the Christmas shopping done yesterday. And got something…
The day starts slowly. The Professor didn’t come to bed until 5:00 a.m.. This means I won’t see him until one at the earliest. The first words out of his mouth will be “I’m hungry“. By the time he gets his act together it will be two. By the time we figure out where he…
My first entry of 2011 and I’m already bitching. Life as we know it continues. Things that I got for Christmas that I might be able to regift: ●4 Gorham âFestive Hollyâ votives ●Lenox âJust Jinglesâ tree ornament (which I note with amusement has âAmerican by Designâ printed on the box but âMade in Chinaâ…
Can we say “ridiculous”, boys and girls? Yes, I heard again from the mental midgets who man the email at Double Day Books. I’m done trying to talk with them. I’ve gotten more intelligent responses from ACfH. It is my most avid of hopes that, some day, one of their PR people stumbles across this…
I seldom remember dreams, but when I do, they’re doozies. The Socialist and I had just moved into a new apartment. The earliest part of my dream I remember is walking about the new place after we’d unpacked everything and all had been put away. The place had the feel of an old house that…
Anybody know what’s up with some of the new diaries here? I can’t figure out their purpose. They’ll have real looking names like “JamesHolt” or “Ellenyou” or “MalcolmFloyd”, and they all have (among other things) random sports type references sprinkled throughout them, implying they are trying to get found by search engines. Other than that,…
Now I would love to have seen a time lapse of THAT event. Who knew it was so fast???
Amazing!
Wow! From caterpillar to pupa in an hour? That’s really amazing! How long does he (or she) stay in this stage before becoming a butterfly?
Go Waldo! That *is* fast.
Oh, cool!
