Day 25: Two-fer

Two blog posts in one day! And I guess this is Pet Week or something. Here's Achilles and Bacchus! They're star-crossed lovers. Usually whenever you hold Achilles, Bacchus will be sitting right there waiting for the snake to get close enough so that he can... I dunno lick it or something. But then Bacchus gives up and Achilles goes out of his way to taunt the poor guy.

Whenever he gets on your hand he kind of wraps around it at first, and then slowly uncoils himself. He flexes the muscles in his body to tighten himself around your skin and that's how he gets around. If you put him on the bed it's not long before he goes exploring under the covers. He loves tunnels.

Achilles has it made, by the way. He lives in the most gangsta of cages. He's got a waterfall in there, and a little pool, and tunnels made from hollowed out tree trunks. And his entire cage is illuminated by these blood red lights. He's a pimp.

Stop.
Bring forth.
Engage.
Illuminate.
Everything around you is alive
Open the doors beneath
Cast one last glance behind.
Go.

Song: The acoustic version of "Grey Skies Turn Blue" by MxPx. Pop punk in a more relaxed, natural setting sounds surprisingly good. Definitely better than the original, faster version of the song. Really catchy, and this is one song that always reminds me of summertime.
