tarantula diaries

i saw Georgia grooming. she was rubbing her pedipalps against her fangs. it's always a treat to see her fangs. her shiny, ebony daggers are the product of God's unfathomable imagination. Hallelujah!

in other news, while Osang and Gravy have been fattening up since after they molted, Forrest was delayed in molting and has just molted a few days ago. he's still rejecting food so i'll give him a few more days. i hope he eats soon though. his butt is as skinny as ever.

i think it's time to rehouse the spiderlings. a quick trip to tiendesitas should be in order. gonna buy more substrate.

weird

i've been sitting here on this chair in front of the computer for a few hours now with the electric fan blowing at one side. it's weird that only one side of my head is trickling with sweat while the other side is completely dry.

tarantula diaries

one of the spiderlings is digging! i've rehoused them in transparent cups and gave them more substrate to "play" in. i've flattened and compressed the substrate to provide an even surface for them. it's been a few days since and only one spiderling seems to have moved the substrate. one side of the cup is being dug up and it piles up the excavated substrate in a stack nearby. pretty cool! it lays a thin layer of sheet web on the ground to be dug up and turns around and grabs the web along with the substrate that sticks to it! pretty cool!

school

ok, the first week of school was terrible. rooms were just beginning construction, professors weren't attending class, my sched had a lot of breaks and these breaks were no joke. some breaks last for 5 hours. i once went to school early only to find that my prof did not attend and i had to wait till afternoon for my next class. ugh. i guess that gives me more than enough time to finish whatever schoolwork i need to in between classes. also enough time to practice the piano. i'm hell bent on taking that junior recital this march. by doing so, i complete my pre requisite for practicum and have completed one of the bloodiest components of my curriculum.

God, help me.

tarantula diaries

i cam home tonight with another molted spiderling. ang cute talaga. i also brought home smaller crickets for my new acquisition and a spider my dad caught in a parking lot. it has a huge legspan with a little body. they both ate 2 crickets just like that. they must be hungry.

i hope to have the last Grammostola Rosea spiderling molt soon.

violin

i bought a violin this morning to prepare for my "String Class Methods" class. it's kind of a requirement. it's pretty cool. i want to tinker with it already. i just need to know how to.

in other news, the only thing that's making school bearable is the eating. oh man, i love eating. i love my "eating friends." kim isn't a big eater and she always has leftovers. more for me! some people take it the wrong way though. i think that they think that we're pairing up or something. NOT HAPPENING. totally. yeah yeah, she may have had a crush on me before and i had one on her, but it wasn't simultaneous. meaning she liked me when i didn't like her and vice versa. things died down and we're friends, kapeesh?

also, some obnoxious faggot in school has the hots for me. he's loud, annoying, and probably has ADD or something. and he's 2 batches lower than me. i'm so pissed at the fag, i may have to shoot him off-campus. seriously.

off to my sweet little violin! <3

tarantula diaries

one of my spiderlings will grow up to be a ferocious predator. out of the three Grammostola Rosea spiderlings, one stands out because it can subdue something longer than itself. the other two mainly eat pre-killed food items.

i introduced a fairly large mealworm into the spider's cup and the mealworm immediately crawled to find shelter. its vibrations alert the spider and prompts the predator to investigate. the spider moves closer and follows the crawling thing. it puts its front legs on the mealworm and follows it around that way for a while. then the arachnid delivers the bite, thrusting its fangs into its prey. the mealworm thrashes about in the cup, squirming, tumbling, trying to break free but the little spider's bite is something a houdini of its size can't handle. after half a minute of wrestling, the mealworm seems subdued, the prey seemed to have given up the fight for its life. this is probably due to the fact that the spider's venom has taken effect and has paralyzed its dinner.

it will probably feed on its capture for a couple of hours.

down with the sickness

i'm sick. i feel weak, i have a sore throat, and i've been coughing with a mild cold. i'm more sensitive to cold more than usual. i seldom get sick so i'm pretty much not taking this well. i decided not to go to school today.

that didn't stop me from attending the PTSS (Philippine Tarantula and Scorpion Society) meeting though. i got the car and went to Coffee Bean Promenade and met some of the seniors. it's easy to spot them. just look for a large group of men with plastic cups on the table. there were some jaw dropping specimens brought along and some were even trading and buying and selling. pretty cool. i met this one other newbie like me. and he studies in UST too. small world!

i stopped by the Magic 89.9 station in eastwood too. wala lang. had nothing to do. i met slick rick, tony, and mike. funny bunch. funnier off air too. hahaha.
