Setting up an IMPROVED Giant Land Snail tank

I wrote a prior post about setting up a snail tank, just under a year ago, that gets a fair bit of traffic, so I thought I would write an updated version now that I have gotten a proper glass tank for Jupiter. The original post is more about...

How an app helped to pay for my wedding

I’ve been meaning to write this post since October, but as usual, life got in the way. To cut to the chase, I want to tell you about something alarmingly simple called Plum.   Now, it’s not a secret that my financial situation is not amazing. I live on...

Pictures of my gross hand

If you’re into that sort of thing. I’ve got gradually better at looking at it without completely freaking out. Today is the first day that the top of the knuckle hasn’t split and bled when the old dressing was taken off. It did bleed earlier in the day however,...

The day I saw my own knuckle

I didn’t expect to blog so soon again after my last post, but a mildly traumatising thing happened to me and so I am going to bang on about it. I can’t actually type properly at the moment so I apologise if there are typos and stuff. So anyway....

The mediocre week

Not a lot of especially interesting stuff happened in the past week, but it was a bit of a weird one anyway. Also for some reason, in the post before last, photos that were uploaded in the portrait orientation, became landscape after I published the post. I don’t know...

Visitors from Google: don’t forget to check out this post about setting up an improved tank.   Although I haven’t had my snail Jupiter for very long, I’ve just put together his big tank for him to grow into, so I’m doing a post about that in case anyone...

Fantasy casting: Biohazard/ Resident Evil

You may remember that nearly a year ago now I listed my casting ideas for Tomb Raider. I’ve been watching lots of Resident Evil (a.k.a. Biohazard, バイオハザード) longplays recently to get my nostalgia fix. These got me thinking about how, as with Tomb Raider, I’d love for a movie...

More about our Giant Land Snail

It’s been almost 3 weeks now since we brought home our GALS. It’s a slightly long story as to how we ended up with him so I’m gonna skip that. I might do a post about caring for Giant African Land Snails when I’ve had him for longer. It...

Giant Land Snail!

Just a quick post to tell you about our new baby! He’s a Giant Land Snail although is currently not very giant because he’s still a baby. I am alarmingly emotional about him. We named him Jupiter (or Joop-Joop casually) because his shell looks a bit like the surface...

Products I’ve loved since beginning my curly hair transition

I’ve stopped straightening my hair since the beginning of this year, and have been trying to get back to my natural curls, which have never really been seen before now as I always brushed my hair out. It was springy in the mornings, but I was always told to...
