All About Ferrets! So You Wanta Ferret?

Well, we moved into our new apartment which doesn’t allow Ferrets and our new dog Conner wants to nom on them, so now we have to find them a new home. I am demanding that my boyfriend, Chris, be very picky when selling them. Not because I am a snobby Ferret mommy, but because I know that Ferrets are not for me, despite how cute, playful and funny they are. This blog will go over what Ferrets are like as pets and what they need from you in order to be happy little animals.

Electronic Music (The BEST Office Music)

What is Electronic music? Wikipedia tells us that it is music that employs electronic musical instruments and electronic music technology in its productions.

Forms of electronic music are Ambient, Breakbeat, Chiptune, Disco, Downtempo, Drum and Bass, Dubstep, Electro, Electronica, Eurodance, Hardcore dance, House, Industrial, Post-disco, Progressive, Techno, Trance, UK garage and dozens of sub forms underneath each of them.

     Many of you are like me, we sit behind a desk and look at the same information day-in and day-out. It becomes monotonous. To break the monotonous of it we listen to music to heighten our brain activity with the rhythmic beats and their catchy lyrics. I love to listen to regular vocals and beats that are popular to today’s younger society, but I find myself to into the beat and lyrics to break away from my desk when needed. I will also sing along with the lyrics in my head which prevents me from giving one hundred percent concentration to what is at hand.

    In the past I have stayed clear away from Electronic music because I thought that it only consisted of Techno. But as you read, the different forms of electronic music are abundant, from chill to hardcore! So electronic music has everything plus more that you could even imagine letting your ear’s taste. I prefer dubstep and chillstep because both have good beats; dubstep is more intense and gets you moving, while chill steps gives you a beat but more of one that you can concentrate more with.

     Listening to electronic music at work has saved me from getting bored of the music that I listen to at home and during exercising. That is great for me since I am constantly listening to the same 600 songs on a regular basis. Since I enjoy my older music more, I am more apt to do more chores more quickly and not think about how hard it is to run and concentrate on the lyrics and beat of the music.

    My favorite electronic music so far is Dubstep, you can go to www.soundcloud.com or www.youtube.com and search for any of the electronic music’s sub-genres. Dubstep has a lot of vocal clips from tv, movies and popular songs; they can be hyper sounding, evil sounding or just plain funny!

Gaming: Dsi Art Academy Review

     I have been spending a lot of my gaming time playing with the first semester of Art Academy on the DSi. Art Academy is basically a art course that you can do whenever and where ever, and you can fix your drawing/and painting mistakes, unlike an actually canvas! You learn everything from texturing, shading and all the basic artist terms. You can follow the instructions or you can paint your own random painting in the “Free Paint” mode.

   This DSi Ware is amazing! It feels like you are an actual artist! Everything is very detailed, the pencil makes thin lines or shading area; when you paint the paint it is not continuous and actually mixes with the other colors already used. You can also add water to you brush to make the color more transparent. There is also a grid to help you draw from pictures already on your DSi, as well as different ways to view you photo so you know where you need to go with your paining when you are doing it.

   I have created SEVERAL pictures now and I can’t wait to get my computer up and running so I can put them on the computer and show everyone! As a beginner painter, I think that this will let me actually draw and paint what I want and how I want so that when I go to the actual canvas I will know what to do.

   If anybody is slightly in to drawing or painting you SHOULD get this! It is my favorite game so far for the DSi!

My White-Trashed Move (Tips on Moving Homes)

Dear Apartments,

     I am sorry for the way I left my apartment. I did not hire enough help nor did I have enough stamina and vigor to do this move as I have had in the past. I know the apartment is messy and on top of my hast to make it out of the apartment on time, I forget to retrieve all my food (which wasn’t much.) Please have pity on me, this moving weekend has been a whirl of emotions and action. My boyfriend had to go to the ER which prolonged our move greatly. The emotions of him being in the ER took a toll on me physically and emotionally and therefore took a toll on a proper move-out.

I am sorry, please bill.

For my readers, some moving tips that I didn’t use:

Start Early – I am a procrastinator when it comes to moving and like that rush of doing things fast ( that leave no room for error or the ER)

Date it – Put on a calendar what room is going to be packed on which day

Rent your truck ahead of time –  We almost didn’t get a truck. It was spring and last weekend of the month. Luckily we did.

Pack a Suitcase – From near move out date to 3 days after move. So you have everything you need to function when everything is packed.

Well, I hoped this helps you when you move!!!
