o/` Miranda Sex Garden – Inferno o/`
Cargo kitty went home this morning *sniff* I miss him already! I don’t miss the furry mess he made though, I spent the morning cleaning the apartment, I’m still doing laundry %) We had a nice weekend with him, he slept in our bed with us at night, mostly… sometimes wanted to keep us awake by jumping on the bed, hehe. He’s such an awsome cat, I’m glad we can have him over to play some weekends!
We never did get to go out to the park for a walk yesterday, it ended up raining *sigh* S’ok though, I had a nice relaxing afternoon anyway.

I wrote up this bot this morning. It’s a pretty simple perl script for irssi, it uses a perl module called Geo::Weather which goes to a specific weather.com page (defined by the zip code you provide) and grabs the specific info from it. It’s nice and fast. A friend of mine suggested I write a forcast thing for it… but there are no modules out to do that! I’d need to do it from scratch *eeek* … I dunno, it might be worth it as far as a learning experience goes. *shrugs*
After a friend recently mentioned his interest in skydiving, I decided to try and contact my Aunt Meg, because she has been into skydiving quite extensively for the past few years, and she’d know everything there is to know for a beginner (she keeps begging me to go sometime *ugh*). I emailed her but the email was returned (bad address). So I emailed a cousin of mine that same day and asked her if she knew my Aunt’s current email address. She said she’d ask my grandparents… oh and by the way “Have you heard any news about Brad?” Brad is my Aunt Meg’s son, and probably one of my cousins who I know the least. Well I was a bit anxious to hear her reply, news? Good news? Bad news? Well yesterday afternoon I got an email back from her, bad news.
So sad, I hate cancer…
Eh… now for something more uplifting. I saw on Reichelle‘s journal that she had done a little “100 facts about me” thing, that’s an interesting idea. I think while I do laundry I’ll type up one for myself, just because writing about myself is fun.
