lampshade on my head

Yep. Partied with mishak, hostest with the mostest. Drank fruity vodka drinks with kiwi slices and ice. Had a blast, in the tippy party idiot sense. I ate a teaspoon of pure Spirulina platensis powder, and walked around with a bright green, clumpy, intertidal-zone-smelly grin for about an hour. Also tried the bacon ice cream. The algae was better. I had a conversation that came dangerously close to meaningful, so I ran screaming for the bar.

Shaolin Soccer is the best movie I have ever seen.

I helped some gentlemen jump-start their car in Davis Square on the way home. They were extremely grateful. "You're a good citizen."

out of excuses

It's time for more ( exercise. )

Edit: I left out the windmills. It seemed like the smart thing to do, after doing bent presses for the first time in two months.

Saturday, I helped eeyrg and crystain move their reef tank downstairs, to the sound of digital cable arena rock. Their finished basement is marvelous. They fed me a delicious dinner. You know, that house of theirs, that household, I mean, is a wonderful place.

Today, I serviced the 55-gallon basement aquarium and the 29-gallon bedroom tank. Everybody's looking good. My beautiful Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps is growing like a weed.

Oh, Fluffy ate the front half of Marcus the Hemichromis while I was in Puerto Rico. Don't feel too sad -- Marcus had an exceptionally good life, and Fluffy was considerate enough to take him headfirst, so death was nearly instantaneous. I'll miss Marcus. He was a good optionally edible housemate. Bob, the Steatocranus, has since moved to the SE Asian tank. The loaches don't know Afrikaans (or even Dutch), but they've taken him in. He's doing very well. I assure you s/he doesn't even remember Marcus. Fish have tiiiny brains.
