So I went in to pick up the laundry I’d dropped off–the dryer is still on the fritz–and the woman who runs the laundrymat pulled out the bag of clothes, looked at me, and said "Honey, let me put this in a cart for you." It was a sixteen pound bag of laundry. I knew this […]

Kevin and I, over the course of a drive home, came to the conclusion that the next great game should be—nay, must be– Clown vs. Pimp. God help me, I can see the art already.
Not great photos–taken with Kevin’s iPhone–but here’s some shots of the tank… Tank!It woobles…Pink Zoos I’ll try to get better ones soon, just so I have a before and after a year from now…*grin*
Man, Otter wrought better than she knew on the reef tank thing. I get up every morning and go turn on the lights in the tank. And I don’t look for the fish. I like the fish, don’t get me wrong. I hope the fish is ecstatic in his new home (and granted that he was in a smaller […]
Gorillas observed eating meat in captivity One thing that really pisses me off is the stereotypes we have about the other great apes.
Bare bones productivity today. I blame the laundromat. The dryer is malfunctioning, so I took a load to the local laundry. Man, I always forget how long that takes. Plus somebody always wants to tell me their life story. I am not an unfriendly person–I hope–but when I’m grumpy from slinging underwear, I’m not really at […]
My first vertebrate! A very, VERY small red-head goby, which is supposed to be a very good fish for nano-reef tanks. They’re extremely peaceful to everything except other gobies, they don’t get very big, and they eat readily. I can testify to this last, as when he was finally released into the tank after acclimation, his […]
That damn tick t’other day apparently wanted to look at a lot of locations before he settled down, because there are seven–count ’em, SEVEN–apocalyptically itchy bites across my stomach. They are hideous and grotesque and look like I have localized stomach leprosy. Also, they itch horribly. Whatever one says about leprosy, at least it doesn’t itch. […]
With all the posting about my tiny little reef garden, I have neglected posting about my big outdoor garden! Today, as my reward for surviving the weekend AND getting Ninjabreath art done, I went to a local garden shop called Niche Gardens. They specialize in native plants, and my god, I thought I’d died and gone […]
…and there’s a spaghetti worm in the tank, too! Again, mostly good (can irritate coral if the little tentacles come too close) but the one I’ve spotted is tucked way down in the back.) I went in at night with a flashlight, just out of curiosity, and saw the stomatella snail out grazing, and Crab Bob chowing down […]
