I AM SO BEHIND ON EVERYTHING. It's almost 10pm and I have a laundry list of shows I need to catch up on. Ridiculous. I blame Burn Notice and Falling Skies for being more than an hour each (Fall of Sam Axe and the premiere, the 2-hour premiere and the third episode).
The starling is doing fine. I still haven't decided on a name but I think I'm going with Starly. I liked Bronx Strong but it's an awkward name for a bird. When he's a few months older I might change the name to Staravia. Staraptor is just an awkward name all around. I was thinking of calling it Starbuck (my Starly in Pokemon is named Starbuck and she is MY FAVORITEEEEEEEE on my team) but I am not a big fan of BSG and can't with good conscience call this adorable bird Starbuck. Today was a fun day. I decided he was big enough to learn to eat by himself and put him in a cage with food and water. Mostly I wanted to make sure I could leave for hours/days at a time and know he'd be able to feed himself if my mom couldn't get to him immediately. He didn't understand what the food was, but found the water and tried to take a bath in it. So my mom and I cleared the kitchen sink, covered it with a paper towel so he wouldn't slide about and let the water filter drip like it was a showerhead. He's dry and happy again now, but boy, did he enjoy that bath.
My phone just went haywire. The battery was stuck at 84%, the time at 5:54pm (it was 8:42pm), nothing was downloading and I wasn't getting any calls and texts. A reboot seems to have fixed it, but I'm due for an upgrade in November and it can't get here fast enough. The good news: while looking for my replacement charger cable (turns out my PS3 controller wire also connects to my phone), I found my camera's cable. I will get to uploading pictures from the last two weekends now, since it's too late to think of starting my TV catchup now.
