Wow, haven't been on in a bit.. Things are getting pretty busy with school since the year is coming to close and we have tons of performances and everything. It also didn't help that SOMEBUN (Doc, that rascal) bit straight through my laptop cable earlier this week. I was so upset. I know how fast their teeth are, but I practically followed him around the coffee table right after he went in order to get him away from the cable, and he got to it anyway. Grrr. Luckily someone at school had a spare, so now I'm able to use my computer again! Surprisingly enough, this is the first cable casualty I've had in 2.5 years of bunnies!
Our Easter potluck picnic was really fun, even though the weather was totally crappy! We were in this huge park high up on a hill overlooking downtown LA and Dodger stadium. (Boo Dodgers, go Giants! Went to a game the other day, it was a great win for us!) The rain threatened a few times and it ended up getting pretty chilly and windy towards the end, though.
Also, totally thought of everyone last night because I went to get pho AGAIN. Also brought home some spring rolls that I'm gonna eat soon, nomnomnom.
Rabbit-wise, nothing too new is going on. It is funny how differently Doc and Rory each act depending on who is out and who is in, though. If Doc is out, Rory follows him rapidly as much as she can from the cage. She's a little less defensive when he comes up to see her, though. When she's out, he'll randomly take notice of her but generally is chill about the situation. When they stick noses though the bars at each other, Doc tries to kind of nibble/groom Rory's nose. She doesn't seem to mind, sometimes she even looks like she's thinking about bowing her head. She doesn't try to nibble or groom him though, she just tries to pull fur from his side or butt if his body is up against the cage. When she does this, she growls as well, which I'm not a fan of, but Doc doesn't seem to care - he doesn't retaliate or even notice, really!
Azerane - Have you ever had lemon bars? People usually have lemons bars instead of lime, but I made mine lime instead to be different.
It's a dessert with a crust (mine was made with brown sugar, butter, and crushed Nilla wafer cookies!) and the lemon or lime bit on top is cream cheesey and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Here's a link to the recipe I used if you want to see! They're tasty.

Lisa - Doc's eyes are blue! People are always surprised they're not ruby. I always mention he has blue eyes when describing him to people because they always assume ruby! And yeah, what is with adult picky eaters? My ex seriously would not try anything new, I hated going to eat with him. I will try most anything, though I guess not meat dishes now, or things with banana because I can't staaand banana. I think the weirdest thing I've ever eaten was kangaroo! I was on an orchestra trip in Sydney.
Chris - I still eat dairy and eggs, and occasionally sea food. I guess technically I'm a pescatarian. (Luke's family likes to kid me and call me an Episcopalian, bahaha.) I've been cutting down on the sea food though, but sometimes it's just easier like if someone's having me for dinner and they aren't vegetarian. Also, I don't know if I could ever give up sushi. All those stews in Spain sound amazing, and I'm jealous of the seafood of course. But wow, tripe and pig trotters?? Are pig trotters pig feet?? Gah. That sounds like a terrible situation to be forced to be polite and stomach something like that.
Morgan - Wow, 2 years is way different from 2 weeks, hahaha. That is a really long time! When you started meat again, did you have to ease into it with poultry and stuff, or could you go straight for a burger? Last week, I had my first official veggie burger. It was really tasty, from this great burger place, but it made me miss meat for the first time. I think mostly because I chose toppings that would've gone great on some cow (I had gruyere cheese and carmelized onions.) Anyway, still sticking with it, though! And you are correct, I looove Mexican food. Thanks for the link, I love making enchiladas, so I should try those out! Maybe next time Luke is in town. He doesn't eat enough veggies.. Last time he was here, we were hanging out snacking on veggies and hummus and he was surprised that they were so tasty.
Michelle - You sound like a lot of fun to go out with, hahaha. Sometimes security at those places kind of are jerks and need someone to show them some 'tude! I mean, yeah lots of guests get waaay out of hand and are hard to deal with, but sometimes they don't let you do the simplest thing like go get your stuff or whatever.
You guys are all too funny, go ahead and use my blog! It was probably lonely while I was finding a new computer cable and everything.
What are everyone's weekend plans? I don't really get a weekend this time around since I'm playing in a student composer's recital tomorrow and our wind ensemble concert is Sunday afternoon. Really hate how they put wind ensemble on Sundays, way to ruin a weekend! I shouldn't complain though, it keeps me productive over the weekend I guess.
