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.
Before you get all excited, it’s not what you’re thinking. I asked one of the users in the fish forums to send me some Duckweed for my goldfish. It’s a neat little plant that consists of just floating leaves that clean up fish waste and also serve as a snack for the fish. I can’t wait to get this stuff home!
I took some video of my new fish. They’re schooling very well together, enjoying their new tank.
Bad News: Spencer and Vivian are no longer a couple. Michelle and I challenged them to Wii bowling and the losers had to break up. Vivian was fighting for the relationship with strikes and spares across the scoreboard. Spencer looked like he didn’t care with his open frames everywhere.
Good News: I got a new high score in Wii bowling the next morning.
I decided to add another Moai.
I changed up my tank a little bit. I added a blue background to hide the tubing. I removed some of the rocks to expose more of the sand substrate. Then I added some Easter Island Moai. Once the statues get a little dirtier in color, they’re going to look great.
It’s happened again. One of my fish has given birth again to a batch of fry (baby fish). I separated out about eight of them. Does anyone want to start up an aquarium? I will provide the fish. If you don’t want a fish explosion like I have, we can separate out the males from the females beforehand. Come on, people! Aquariums are great to keep in homes, offices, and Chinese restaurants. Get your free fish now!
I still need to add a black background to the tank to hide the wires and tubes. I was also thinking of redecorating my tank. I don’t know what kind of look I would want to go with, but I didn’t want it to be a funny theme. I want people to look at the tank and think it fits well together. I have seen a lot of these ornaments around. They give the tank a broken, underwater pipeline look. Then I thought a sunken ship theme would be cool. Old sailing vessels are cool, but the sails don’t look great as solid pieces of the ornament. Then I thought about a submarine. Lastly, I came upon this and thought an ancient ruins theme might be fun.
Good news, everyone! I can resume my rightful place as King of the Internet. I got my laptop back pretty quickly and I’m up and running on it. Unfortunately, I have lost some pictures, including Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The up side is that our family barely does stuff together anyway, so that’s really not that many pictures. Here is the recap since Christmas.
Michelle says I like my fish more than her. It hasn’t gotten to that point yet. Although perhaps some sort of hybrid fish lady would be fitting, like a mermaid. Anyway, let’s see some pictures of some of the new guys that share a bedroom with me.
Well, Michelle surprised me by trying to go and get me a Nintendo Wii this morning. She woke up at 5:45 AM to stand in line. Unfortunately, she did not anticipate the gamer geeks showing up six hours earlier and camping out for the second console. The way she describes it sounds a bit like those guys that wait in line in full costume to see movies. That is one of the reasons Michelle is allowed to break up with me. Costumed geeks in line at a theater are just lame. I think standing in line to get a video game console I already own is another good reason. Although Michelle was unable to obtain a Wii for me, my cousin gave me a call and told me he got one for me. Apparently he has some famliy connection on the other side of the family that knows someone high up in Nintendo. I get a console for under market value. So to all those assholes on Craigslist taking advantage of the holiday season, “Up yours buddies!”
In other extremely exciting news, I got my fish tank up and running. After I originally filled it, the water was extremely cloudy. Hours of filtering, followed by hours of letting the dust settle, were of no use. I drained it and refilled the whole thing by hand. I am tired, but I am quite happy with the result.
