So, I recently purchased a larger fish tank. I now have my goldfish Gill in a 25 gallon tank.
His tank mates are:
Sully (a gold mystery snail), Shelly (an Ivory mystery snail),
Rosy (a Shubunkin goldfish),
Free Willy (the cone snail I got for free),
and four fiddler crabs whom I named the Pirates of Penzance.
I thought it a fitting name for the four since I have Gilbert and Sullivan already, and it's a tough-looking group of orphan crabs. Well, the remaining four are tough... not so much the one that got out of the tank and died a few days ago.
I also used the five gallon tank that I already had to house three guppies. They are named according to their colors: Orange, Red, and Blue. I know, I'm original.
I also recently put up a "bed curtain" that has the japanese painting of The Great Wave on it.
It's pretty sweet, and now I have a fort just like when I was little. You know, when your mom would move the kitchen table and all the chairs to the living room so that she could mop? Then you and your brothers would grab a sheet and throw it over the chairs and make a fort. No? Well, here is a picture that I found that resembles my childhood chair-sheet-fort very well.
We even used close pins like these people did, but there were no cats allowed. And now with my Great Wave sheet, I get to go back in time and have a permanent fort for a bed.
That's about everything that is most recent in my life. Tune in next time for chains of song quotes, childhood stories, and vague hints of my personal life.
Random note: As I was typing this post I glance over to the map on my wall of the world, and saw my name. "Marie Byrd Land" in Antarctica. I never had the desire to go to Antarctica until now.
