The adventures of Enid, Day #1

Bubs has a passion for Octopi. She has one octopi in particular (”Enid”) that she’s decided to treat to an all-expenses-paid round-the-world adventure. Lucky sod. So far Enid has been to visit Ashley in Kentucky, and right now she’s with me here in England.

Today I am off work sick *coughs* and Enid swanned up at 11am.

It’s two o’clock now and Enid has already been causing mischief. First she threw me out of my own bed.

Then she pranced around with boxer shorts on her head. Clearly the long-distance journery from the states has gone to her head.

Right now Enid and I are going to go and have lunch. Here’s to hoping she doesn’t have crazy dietary requirements. What to octopi eat, anyways?

Awww, Enid is pretty much the cutest octopus I’ve ever seen.

I Wikipedia’d “Octopus,” and apparently they are the smartest invertebrates, and that they can do mazes and problem solving things that show that they have both short and long-term memory! Because of this, some octopi who are kept as pets can ESCAPE! They’re just that smart.

I couldn’t find anything about what THEY eat, but YOU can eat THEM. For 3 oz of cooked octopus, it is approx. 139 calories.

Enid is lucky indeed!! Going around the world meeting lovely people. Bubs must be one rich lady ;) It’s too bad you only have Enid for a little while otherwise I’d ask you both to come visit me. Hehehe. Get well soon, I can’t say that enough times. Coughing is rubbish! x

Matt said:

WHAT?! MAYBE IT’S A TRANSGEND?!

Can you please point me in the direction on how I go about making my comment a different colour to normal comments?

Rachael said:

MAYBE IT’S JUST A GIRL!

Erm, no idea. Mine are done in the theme I downloaded. I guess it’s just a matter of adding something like

if (author) {
apply different class
}
else {
apply normal class
}

to your comments.php

I know! I shall go and have a look in my theme files.
