I can feel it in the air. Fall is coming. The warmest part of the day was probably 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Even though my ideal temperature would probably be 80, today was nice. I'm ready for Fall. I'm ready for apple cider, multi-colored leaves, pumpkins, and new fall clothes (considering my lack of funds, the fall clothes might have to wait).

I really don't know what else to talk about...I feel bad because Sam said that he is looking forward to reading this but there hasn't been anything going on since he left. I'm going to a party on Friday for a friend's birthday and then I have a hair appointment on Saturday.

Oh, I did get the chance to go and see Inglorious Bastards. I really enjoyed it. It was pretty graphic - especially the baseball bat scene but it's a Tarantino film. I should have expected to be grossed out at least a little bit. When I mentioned the baseball bat part in my film studies class, this guy told me that the actor who played "The Bear Jew" was actually back in that tunnel with a punching bag and weights getting himself pumped up for the scene. He said that Brad Pitt kept messing up his lines so "The Bear Jew" guy was just back there working out for a super-long time. That explains why, when he was finally able to come out, he went so crazy on the Nazi general. Interesting bit of information, huh?

Well, that's about it from me today. I think I'm going to go to St. Mary's and let Aries run around with his friend Harper, an enormous Chocolate Lab.

Nevel

Aren't blogs fun? Blogs rhyme with frogs which makes for a nice transition to the topic of this blog: My brothers frog, Nevel. Nevel is my brother's beloved pet and while my brother is gone on his little adventure around the world, I am frog-sitting the lil' guy. So far, everything is going well. Nevel stays a consistent green-brown color which means he is content...apparently. The temperature in his cage stays above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and at around 70% relative humidity (I think). I also give him a cricket every time I find one. The crickets around my house are really tiny and so far he has had one every day.

The reason I'm including all of this information about Nevel is so that my brother, Sam, can follow this blog and be reassured that I am in fact taking great care of his little green amigo. How am I doing so far, Sam? Oh, I forgot to mention that I keep his light on during the day and turn it off when the sun is setting. It stays cold and dark in my bedroom for the most part of the day which is where Nevel is living at the moment. I felt like it was necessary to use the light to keep the temperature high and humid.

Well, Sam leaves for his trip on Thursday! Have fun brother!
