Well, I bought another hermit crab today. My big 55 gal. crabitat just seemed like it needed more life in it, so I went to the pet store (on a very cold, and snowy day here in Kentucky), and bought another crab.
I have seen some very small ones at the pet store nearest my house (like the size of my finger nail small), but I decided to stop at another pet store, near where me, and my family where shopping today. They did not have any as small as I have seen at other pet stores, but they did have one about half the size of the ones I have now, so I bought him. He was the smallest they had.
I did not know what to name him at first, but as soon as i got him into his new home, I knew what to call him! as soon as I put him in the tank he started digging down into the sand, so I named him digger.
He is getting along fine with the other two hermit crabs, and right now, as I write this, they are sharing the same coco-hut.
I also bought some Eco Earth substrate for them, and put it in there tank after removing some of there sand to make room for it. Piece by piece there tank is coming together.
I will post a picture of Digger, and of my crabitats new look soon!

Ok, I posted an entry a few days ago, talking about my newest obsession, hermit crabs. Well, I just wanted to follow up on that entry, and show you some pictures I just took of my crabitat, and one of my crabs (Hermie). I would have taken a picture of my other crab lightening, but he was hiding behind Hermie (you can kinda see hes shell behind Hermie’s in the pic). I would have just picked him (or her) up and got a picture of him for you, but I just got done totally rearranging there habitat, and I did not want to stress them out anymore (they stress real easy, believe it or not). I had to rearrange everything because I tried out a waterfall Idea I had, but all it did was get everything in the tank soaked :(. Anyway hope you like the pictures, and I’ll put more up latter.

I got some feedback from the post I wrote earlier about the Xbox 360’s NXE. I wrote that there where only 2 Community Channel Games available, but it turns out that I was looking at the featured list, and not the whole list (oops). It turns out that there are a lot of games already available to download and play. I have been playing a few of them, including one called Being by Jesse Chounard (which is the one who gave me the heads up, Thanks). Being is the only platformer I’ve found so far (and I love platformers), and found it fun to play. So give it a try, along with all the other games available! I’m still playing though them all myself.
Below is the trailer for Being. I love the music, and sound effects.
I can’t wait to see the new Star-Trek Movie! It really seems to be shaping up to be a great film, as you can see from the new trailer!
I’ve been really wanting to do some animation work, but have not been able to afford the software to do it, but the other day I was at Office Depot, and seen an affordable program ($49.99 US) called Anime Studio 5. It claims you can make very nice looking animation, without having to draw them, frame by frame, like I did for my first short animation “Smiles Stickman - A Walk In The Park“. I am planing on buying it this weekend, and getting to work on a short animation idea I have. I hope its as easy as it says it is, and works good enough to use to make nice looking animations, fairy easily, and fast. I have been reading reviews, and the jist seems to be that it does what it says it can do, but that it does have a small learning curve (which I can handle), and that there are better programs available (for the price, of course). One of the better programs is supposed to be Anime Studio 5 Pro, which is $199.99 US. The good news about that is, you can upgrade from the standard version, to the pro version whenever you like for $149.99 US! Which means if I like the software, and I want something a little nicer, I can upgrade to the pro version for what it would have cost me to buy it if I bought it first.
