Yes, I am an Oddball.

We all know its bound to happen, as much as we love someone eventually you're going to get on each others nerves and have a fight. After many years together P and I have finally had what I would consider an actual fightI knew it was going to happen eventually and in the grand scheme of things it's truly not a big deal. But (you knew there was a but, right?) what's really bothering me isn't that we fought, its what we fought over: Television.  The Background: Yup, television. Everyone that knows me knows I have a serious love/hate relationship with TV. I love learning through television. I love the occasional TV show (hello, Simpsons, Futurama, Great British Baking Show, Vicious, Ghost Adventures) but mostly I love documentary-type shows of the PBS, National Geographic and Smithsonian variety, programs I can learn from. I'm not tied to/obsessed with/worship any shows really, if I miss an episode or two, or you know a whole season or 5 no big deal. I have Netfli

Why are earth do weekends fly by as fast as they do? Someday this riddle will be figured out but until then I'll be spending my Sunday nights dreading Monday morning. It was an ok weekend, Providence Comic Con was Friday-Sunday, P, H, O & S all went leaving T and I to our own devices. T would have been very happy to stay home plugged into her iPad for the day but I think everyone knows how I feel about that at this point. So shortly after everyone else left for The Con, I packed T and our camera's up and we headed to Roger Williams Park Zoo. I haven't been in ages and it really is a great place to spend an afternoon.

The animals have beautiful enclosures and they all seem happy and relaxed. I think my favorites are the red pandas, closely followed by the ant eater (fuzzy and you eat my nemesis? I'll take 3.) Everyone loves

As everyone who reads knows, I moved in with P&H at the end of June. It was - and still is - a big adjustment but overall a good one. I've learned  that I was right about a couple things like:  I don't enjoy sleeping (actual sleeping, like for rest and rejuvenation) with people and pets in the bed with me. I sorta knew this from previous relationships. I’m not a cuddly person in general but especially when I’m tired and want to rest. In the beginning I ended up sleeping on the big comfy couch in the basement pretty frequently. Now I’d say I think about heading down there at least once a week but only actually sleep there once every couple weeks. Pets have been entirely banned from the bedroom during the night. Don’t worry, they are all given super yummy treats before the door is closed, and they have free rein over the couches and chairs and kids beds too.  I think they actually look forward to us going to bed now. The kids were going to get to me. This one actually
