Alas, Poor Sluggo, I knew him...

Borrowing the all too often misquoted lines spoken by Horatio when he discovers the skull of Yorick, the court jester in Hamlet. I must report the most untimely and unexpected demise of Sluggo the snail. It was just yesterday when I observed her/him hanging on the bamboo,nibbling leaves and sipping cool water.

OK enough of the drama...the pink princess told me that a snail is too delicate of a creature for her to be responsible for. This was of course after I discovered its little, lifeless body in the cage. Like it is a surprise? The surprise was that it lasted as long as it did.

On to other matters of importance. My order from Paper Culture is on the way. Once I've had a chance to look it over I will post a review right here on the blog and start the give away promotion for a $50 gift card good towards custom stationary of your choosing. Go visit their site http://www.paperculture.com/ to see what they have! Think about what you'd like and why since you'll have to do a little writing to win it.
