Cleaning is going slow, but steady. I picked up a 23" TV (display model) @Wal-Mart for cheap, and moved around my living room and bedroom entertainment centers to accomodate such. Gathered up some more rubbish into appropriate bags for future disposal, and that's about it. Tomorrow will mostly be spending the day w/Heather, doing a little shopping (I plan on picking up the Venture Bros. Season 1 DVD) and going out for dinner as a little celebration of us dating for a year.
She slept over last night, and would've gladly molested me if it weren't for the horrid sunburn I suffered on my head, neck and arms whilst selling my wares @the flea market yesterday. She didn't want to make the discomfort worse, which I appreciate.
...she's a bit of a biter and scratcher.
Next, every single one of you needs to check out the newest set from the lovely Fenchurch!
A very beautiful set, and very creative. Go send her love.
Boy, sometimes I forget that there's nekkid girls on this site.
Next, @the humble request of walkswithbears, I present to you another installment of the journal segment that's sweeping the nation!

Tamarin
The tamarins are any of the squirrel-sized New World monkeys from the family Cebidae, classified as the genus Saguinus. The closely related lion tamarins are in genus Leontopithecus.
Tamarin habitats range from southern Central America (Costa Rica) through middle South America (Amazon basin and north Bolivia, however not in the mountainous parts).
The various species of tamarins differ considerably according to their appearance, ranging from nearly all black through mixtures of black, brown and white. Many species typically have mustache-like facial hairs. Their body size ranges from 18 to 30 cm (plus a 25 to 44 cm long tail) and they weigh from 220 to 900 grams. Tamarins differ from marmosets primarily in the fact that the lower canine teeth are clearly longer than the incisors.
Tamarins are inhabitants of tropical rain forests and open forest areas. They are diurnal and arboreal, that run and jump quickly through the trees. Tamarins live together in groups of up to 40 members consisting of one or more families. More frequently, though, groups are composed of just three to nine members.
Tamarins are omnivores, eating fruits and other plant parts as well as spiders, insects, small vertebrates and bird eggs.
Gestation is typically 140 days, and births are normally twins. The father primarily cares for the young, bringing them to their mother to nurse. After approximately one month the young begin to eat solid food, although they aren't fully weaned for another two to three months. They reach full maturity in their second year.
In captivity, tamarins live to be 18 years old.

I shall have some pics of my progress on cleaning the ole' humble commode, uh, abode in a couple of days. Before I end things, I need to pay tribute.
You think anyone is gonna take your word over mine. I'm a man of respect around here. They love me around here. I'm a swell guy. You're a lying sack-a-shit.
The next time I have to come in here, I'm crackin' skulls!
