Aquarium Updates
I added a large amount of Java Moss in my Dwarf Crayfish tank. They are happily climbing around in the tangled jungle. There are quite a few of them carrying eggs. That means more crayfish are on their way!
Because sometimes thinking hurts…
This website has gone through many revisions since college but always maintained a spirit of fun. This is where I get to speak my mind, as a child would, spilling my thoughts without filtering them. I'm not likely to say anything profound or moving, but hopefully someone gets some entertainment value out of my ramblings.

It was a hot Labor Day Weekend. No one can deny that it was miserably hot, but it was also jam packed full of fun. Let’s skip the chit chat and get right into it.
Friday after work, we went to The Edison in Downtown Los Angeles. I knew we were going, but I didn’t think about it, so I had no clothes to wear. A quick stop at Ross fixed that problem right up.
‘m going to need everyone to stay calm. PetCo is having a sale through this weekend on glass fish tanks. The price is $1.00 per gallon for tank 20-55 gallons! It is time for everyone to get a fish tank. I upgraded my 10-gallon tank to a 20-gallon. It’s kind of empty as there is a lot more room for the crayfish, but I also decided to add some Guppies. I need to decorate it and add some plants to fill it in a bit.

It’s been almost a year now since I started into my aquarium hobby. Normally I’d be bored with new things I learn, but there are so many different things to learn with aquariums. I started with the fish. Then I learned about the other critters in the tank, like shrimp, crayfish, clams, and snails. I am currently learning about planted aquariums, learning about the different types of plants and how to aquascape them.

Friday night was spent working for me. I had a lot of things to look over. That was definitely a bummer, because the original plan for Friday was to finally see The Simpsons Movie. I still have yet to see that movie.
Saturday was a productive day, starting with breakfast in the morning. I never get up for breakfast. Then I headed over to the gym to get my Nintendo DS session for the week, also known as stationary cycling. I headed home afterwards to take care of the fish tanks, which are doing fantastic. Check out the big tank here. Dinner was an always delicious trip to C & O, followed by Wii session with drinks by the pool at Spencer’s place.
This weekend was Angie’s birthday, and she planned a trip up to Big Bear. I am not a camping person mostly because of my disdain for toilets that don’t flush. Being dirty and not changing my clothes for a weekend is okay with me though. I started the trip up with Alex, Stacy, and Tony. That’s almost all the white people I know outside of work. It was good times, but I was definitely glad to get back to a shower.

For those of you that do not know, I am a huge fan of television science educational networks like Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. I especially love shows on animals. If there is ever a quiz show and the topic is nature, you want me on your team. That is why I am excited for another Shark Week. This is a full week dedicated to an animal that everyone has heard of, but we are just starting to scratch the surface of what we know about these creatures and their lives. Let no one say there is nothing good on television this week.
I’ve run across some more interesting finds browsing this wonderful thing we call the World Wide Web. What would I do without the Internet? I sure would have a lot less porn. That must why the OLPC project was started. Kids need porn too. (Totally work safe.)
I’m sure you’ve all seen toe socks before. They are creepy looking, but they go great with toe shoes. This means there’s no more stopping to bend over and pick things up off the ground. You can go for a run on the beach and pick up seashells you come across while in mid stride.
I picked up some guys for my little tank. Check them out. I can’t wait to get home, put them into my tank and watch them crawl all over the tank.
I’m sure you are all tired of me talking about fish. I don’t care. I have been interested in a group of fish called Plecos. The common Pleco is a black fish with a little color variation, and it is quite ugly. It is a suckermouth catfish, and the common ones can grow quite large, up to 24″ in length. They look like sea monsters. Walk into any fish store and you can see them everywhere. These are not what I have been fascinated with as of late. These ugly fish also come in more brilliant appearances. What I have been enamored with is the distinct patterns and sharp contrasting colors. I found some pictures to show you all.
