My pet toilet frog
So I wake up today and go to use the toilet but upon opening it I discover that a small creature has taken up residence in there... A rather large tree frog.

He was up under the rim and very hard to get at, I left him there hoping that he would swim away later. When I came back later he had moved up on top of the rim, under the seat. So I was able to get him then. I am pretty sure he was too big to fit under the seat and get out into the house. We have rather large tree frogs this year...

I hadn't seen tree frogs around here until this year. We had them all the time in the yard of the house I grew up in--little green things about the size of the poison dart frog--these we have now are like tree bullfrogs. It's crazy.

And now they have found a way into my toilet. If you visit, check before you sit!

I think that he must have come in through the vent--some other people have had similar issues and that seems to be the consensus.

Words...
John Piper's site is having a book sale through today. Every book is $5. They offer library rate shipping. I bought 8 books today. :D

In other news, I gave my presentation on Pärt's Passio today! I thought it went really well, though I hated chopping the work up into listening examples. It's best heard in it's full uncut hour long length with no breaks. But, the other people seemed to enjoy it and asked questions afterwards which is a good sign. And the teacher did NOT ask any questions at the end, usually he asks questions to clarify a point or to get more information but he did not ask me anything so I assume I covered all that he wanted to cover. Rock on.

Now I have to turn it into a 6 page paper and write a presentation on Tan Dun's Water Passion after St. Matthew.

Class is over Tuesday, woo! Concerts tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon for the summer chorus.

Then a week after next I start a whole new term.
