Seriously dude, not cool. You know how bad my OCD. Chinchillas go in the C section.
Or possibly the M section. You know, for Mittens.
Truly, Bungie’s latest venture in the Halo franchise, Halo 4: Chinchilla, will be the cutest installment in the epic Halo saga.
This is what happens when Mittens runs around the top of my entertainment center. Some more cute pictures after the jump.

The house on the left? That’s Mittens’ new sleeping quarters. The one on the right… well, that is what’s left of the old one, after about five months of constant nibbling, gnawing, and chewing his way through it. The other day I heard him making his loud squeak noises, the kind he makes when he wants something, and there he was, looking grumpy under a caved in roof.
New house. Old house. And yes, it really is the same exact model house. Who knows what Mittens did with the little pieces of wood that made up the wall on the old house. All I know, is that there was never any sign of them. I can’t wait to see how long it takes him to devour his way through this new one.
Enjoy it while it lasts Mittens.
Note: that little bridge under the cage used to be really bright and colorful. He took care of that with nibbling too. *sigh* see Mittens? This is why we don’t have nice things.
Mittens discovered a new place to hide in the apartment. And by hide, I mean pose for the camera.
Oh that Mitten. He is so cute.
This past weekend I went out to East Rutherford to work with Drive Thru Records artist Houston Calls. I’ve been close friends with these guys for several years and their new album, End of an Error, comes out in October. I had a chance to hear some of the unmastered material at the band house, and seriously, the songs are absolutely fantastic.
Be sure to check them out when they come to your town in the Fall. They’ll be heading across the pond to the United Kingdom on a tour with Farewell, and than hitting up Australia for the Soundwave Festival. Travel safe boys!
Give Houston Calls a listen on their Myspace. Their new song, Life Won’t Wait, is all kinds of catchy.
The band isn’t using this one for anything. I just wanted them to do it. Cause come on, that’s pretty funny.
Expect photos in the next few days. Also, my menu here on the site will be fixed shortly. Thanks Tim!
He is just way too adorable for words.
And yes, that is a Chinchilla Fail (TM) about half way through the video. I’d say he misses that couch one out of every four times.
Enjoy!
It appears that Mittens’ new favorite place in the apartment, is sitting inside of a tiny basket on a third tier of a shelf. He makes for the perfect decoration, don’t you think?
Some more ridiculously adorable photos after the jump.

Oh Mittens, you adorable lush, step away from that bottle of champagne.
I finally got myself a new (used) camera, a nice Pentax digital SLR, so expect more chinchilla photos. I’ve been a fan of their *ist series for a long time, and ever since I broke mine, I’ve been dying to get my hands on another. I’ve got to thank my pal Jason for constantly letting me borrow his extra Nikon DSLR while I searched for a replacement. Seriously dude, you’re a lifesaver. I’ll miss ya when you move to NYC.
Chinchilla photos aside, another reason why I opted for a nice new camera… weddings. I’m going to FOUR weddings between now and September. My ex-girlfriend’s wedding on Saturday, my former camp co-counselor Allison’s wedding in Oregon come July, my buddy Jen’s wedding in August, and my close friend Saray’s wedding in September.
Each of these girls have personally threatened to kick my ass if I didn’t take pictures. So, new camera it is.
Wow, my ex-girlfriend’s wedding is on Saturday. That makes it official. Every serious ex-girlfriend of mine is now married. Crazy.
Late last night, while in the midst of studying for finals and playing Grand Theft Auto IV, Mittens was whining in his cage with his little belly pressed against the bars. This means only one thing. “Let me out!”
So, after a while, I caved, and opened up his cage, giving him free reign of my bedroom. He ran around, jumping on my desk, scampering across my bed, hiding under my couch… his usual, adorable deal. I kept working on my final papers, until I heard furious, frantic squeaking coming from my bathroom.
I bolted over to my bathroom, only to spot Mittens in the toilet, sitting in the cold water, attempting in vain to climb out. I’d have been squeaking a lot too, if I had fallen inside of a giant toilet. Poor guy. I scooped him right up and called up my vet, who told me I’d have to blow dry him til he was completely dry. The problem with chinchillas, is that they can’t get wet. Not because they are gremlins or anything, but because of their super sensitive skin.
So Mittens was treated like quite the diva for the next hour or so, bundled in a towel, having his fur blow dried. No, the blow drier wasn’t actually that close to him while turned on (see picture above). That was just for the picture. I had to keep it several feet away from him.
Lesson learned, keep the bathroom door closed.
My debut novel comes out this Fall. You'll be able to download free audiobook podcasts
