Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 27-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics.

Pixie Come Home!

I’m so lonely :cry: My parents took Pixie home with them last weekend. She’s getting spayed on the 17th of March. I never realized how much I would miss her! It’s just not the same without the little furball chewing on my hair in the middle of the night. I call my parents every day to check up on her. She’ll come back home with me Spring Break (March 25 – April 4). Just a couple of weeks!

I got paid yesterday, so I went on a mini shopping spree :spin: I just have to post a pic of my new rain boots! I’ve been wanting a pair since Christmas time, but haven’t been able to find them anywhere. I don’t like the hot pink laces on the front, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers ;)

New Rain Boots

Remember when I mentioned that the left Shift key on my laptop wasn’t working? I managed to skirt this issue thanks to Caps Lock and the right Shift key. Now, both of them have ceased to function. I had to borrow the keyboard from Will’s computer in order to type this entry :stressed: DON’T DRINK COKES BESIDE YOUR LAPTOP! That’s why my keyboard is messed up in the first place.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Coco and Pixie

I was awake until 4 am last night finishing my CS project. It was working perfectly when I turned it in, so I hope I did well on it. CS 124 is my hardest class this semester by far. We will get ANOTHER project assigned tomorrow, except this one is a group project. I absolutely hate group projects :grr: But that’s a whole ‘nother story…

So, I went to check on Coco a bit ago only to discover that her cage door is open and she is running around the bedroom. I asked William if he let her out, but he said no. Apparently, that crafty pig has learned how to escape from her cage :nod: I don’t blame her, either! Pixie accompanied me to feed Coco and I got some cute pics of the two playing together.

Today was a sad day for Naruto fans. The series was licensed to Cartoon Network. I’m sure that they will absolutely butcher it as they did Sailormoon and various other animes. Oh well, at least I still have the manga, which is better in my opinion :)

Pixie Snapshots

Pixie thinks that she’s a human and that she deserves to sit at the table with the rest of us.

She also likes to take naps in the chairs while mama stares at the computer.

Mama is boring…

Welcome, Pixie

No, I’m not getting married, but I did get a new puppy :nod:

Pixie

Her name is Pixie, she’s a purebread Maltese and she’ll be 4 months old on the 6th of December. I will add more details later, but right now I’m going to bed. I didn’t want to leave anyone hanging any longer ;)

Silly Swine Part 2

Thanks everyone for the guinea pig advice… I need all the help I can get! :nod: Coco seems to like the new bedding and alfalfa that I bought for her this afternoon. I’ve yet to determine if she likes her Kritter Krawler or not. When I place her inside, she justs sits down rather than running around.

Don't mess with my carrot!

I’ve had Coco for about a month, shouldn’t she be warming up to me by now or does it take more time? When I try to pick her up, she’s runs away squealing, avoiding my hand. When I place her in my lap, she tries her best to get out. She doesn’t like to be petted… she just enjoys running around and hiding from me O_o Is this normal? More advice would be greatly appreciated.

Silly Swine

I recently had to change the bedding in Coco’s cage due to the smell. I didn’t have any pine bedding, so I filled the cage with small animal litter instead. Apparently, Coco hates the litter because she always cries to be let out. Being the compassionate owner that I am, I’ve been letting her run around the apartment rather than making her stay in her cage. This morning, I heard her gnawing on something, so I got down in the floor to check it out:

It's supposed to be ONE cord!

She chewed completely through the cord! I have no idea how she didn’t get electrocuted. I told her that she’d never see the apartment floor again :angry: Now, I have to find a new adapter for my cordless phone charging bay.

Meet CoCo

Sorry everyone for the recent downtime! I didn’t realize that my domain name had expired :frown: I’ve been so bored the past few days without my site.

Saturday was wonderful! William and I celebrated our two-year anniversary :beat: We drove to Birmingham, AL to eat at a Japanese restaurant called Stix, which was excellent. We both ordered steak & chicken. I love Japanese food! Next time, we’re ordering sushi as well. I told William since we eat Japanese food so often, we have to learn to use the chopsticks… that’s my new goal.

I would like everyone to meet my new pet guinea pig, CoCo :spin: She was my other anniversary surprise from William. I wanted a kitten, but I can’t afford one right now. The pet deposit at my apartment is $300 plus $10 added to the rent each month O_o I decided to get a cavy (guinea pig) instead of a hamster or a ferret because the people at the pet shop told me that cavies smell much better. CoCo is very loving; however, she is quite skittish. We’re still trying to adjust to one another.

Coco's Homecoming

Anyways, Will and I are watching Rocky II and my laptop battery is dying, so I better go. Thanks for the comments: tuan, Christine, Daynah, Sanne, NavahX, Anjana, leila, christine anne, Kanu, Emma, Dayna, Raph, Emma, Mike, and natasja.

Escaping Crab

My crab is quite the escape artist! Today, I found him behind the aquarium. He’s also very skittish. Whenever I walk into the kitchen, he runs inside the octopus decoration and hides. The aquarium temporarily sits in the kitchen beside the sink. Last week, I heard a thud during the night. When I got up to get a glass of water, I found my crab inside the sink, on the edge of the drain! I’m glad that I saved him before he fell inside. Now, I have to keep the plugs over the drain just in case my adventurous crab decides to go exploring :no:

Hope everyone had a very Happy Valentine’s Day!
