Had to separate my rats last night DD: Ford was bleeding via a wound on his shoulder, and this time I actually saw the blood leaking. (He already has a series of scabs under his chin, but Arthur does as well, so I assumed that meant he was holding his own.) I'm worried about the boys, so I'm going to try and find a nice LJ Fancy Rat comm and see if they have any info on excessive grooming where the result isn't so much bald rats (Barbering, I believe it's called?) as it is clumps of hair are being pulled out with little bits of ... yeah, on the ends. Should I be giving them more protein? Less? Less space? More space? More toys and attention? SOMEONE TELL ME, I DON'T WANT MY BABIES TO HURT DDD:

Have caught up on both HOLiC and T:RC as of ...yesterday-ish, Thank You Very Much Miss Lyzz. Aldkjsfdlkf Faaaaiiii. I also have some thoughts on duality and so forth, but those can be saved for people who are also caught up so I don't risk spoilerifiying people who don't want to be spoilerified. PS: Someone app Kohane already. Also, third name I've seen where it's written as a date but pronounced as something else. Wonder what the origin is. (Already picked up Hozuki (I think that's what it was?) (Wheat harvesting or something) and Watanuki ("without cotton," and there's a fic/concept in itself) from Detective Conan, so.)

Hope to be getting to the kink!fic meme within the next few hours; I'm having a lot of fun, so I may have to pull it out again in the future.

It occurred to me not long after I got

thesuzukimethod in that my first voting round would be for counselors. So. Should I be petrified of this, or hilaritized? I'm wavering between the two at the moment. Hopefully I'll settle on the latter.

Don't know if I'll be on tonight; I may or may not be pushing the family to go see Ratatouille. WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY GO SEE NOW NOW NOW NOW. Beautiful movie. *harts it* (PS: Go to an afternoon showing and app Colette! And Linguine! And Gusteau (possibly, if he's appable)! And Remy (could possibly be apped as either Camper or Counselor? Mature for a rat, but that's at something like six months old, so. Also, language issues to worry about maybe, unless Camp Babel Fish also translates Rat.)!!!

On the movies being seen/not seen note, one of our local theaters is going to be showing the Turtle movie sometime around July 11th, and apparently you can get in to see it for something like two-fifty. I hope to redeem myself for missing it the first time around at that point in time.

And that's all I've got for now. NOW GO SEE THAT MOVIE!

Edit: ...I seem to have located my vocabulary. How unexpectedly pleasant.

Edit 2: Pretty sure that the rat thing is just a scratching problem. I'll need to find a file and trim their nails more regularly. Also, my rats are officially not allowed in the unmowed parts of our yard. (
