Every now and then, I'll have one of those moments... like a cat who is racing around insanely who suddenly stops. Pauses. Stretches. Yawns. Looks around. Whaps their tail. Is surprised to see they have a tail. ATTACKS TAIL!! Pauses. Blinks. Runs off again.
I'm at about the stretching part. Yeah. It's like, I know there are a million things to be doing, however, as of 2am I sat down and played Text Twist and Pop n Drop (only one game turned into 'MUST. BEAT. SCORE.')
I have started to catalog my own book collection. When I really think about it, it is insane to use freetime to practice something that is part of my work. Oh well.
Alexander and Hephaistion, whose name I'm sure I spelled wrong, developed ick a few days ago. I have been treating them, they seem to be doing better. I am going to separate them, though, as Heph keeps charging up to the divider to scare Alex, and Alex likes to do this thing where he kinda jumps out of his cave at Heph when Heph is eating. Silly Macedonian fighting fish...
At work, there is a ten gallon with one betta, Analu, in it. I set it up to be a breeder tank. People like to see the baby fish. They keep asking about baby bettas. So, Analu, all that space, didn't make a bubblenest. I thought, he's still feeling the place out. Picked up some ghost shrimp some time back, put some in each tank. In the bag was a guppy or something. Tossed it in with Analu. He seemed to think she was a girl fish (well, she is a girl fish, but he seemed to think she was one who'd be interested in him). But he just followed her all about, still no nest. Then, all the sudden, last week, he got violent. Charging her, chasing her across the tank. I pulled her out when I noticed she was losing weight, put her in the big tank.
Today, I see something scoot across in the tank. I figured, ghost shrimp babies! I looked. Nope. Tiny, tiny guppy baby. And Analu, herding it to food, keeping it near the surface (silly thing, doesn't realize this baby doesn't need to breathe air). So... Analu's an adoptive daddy, it seems. Now I feel bad about pulling the guppy out, but on the other hand, I don't know if they eat their young... should go read on that. But I know that Analu will take care of it. Male bettas are good daddies. It's just funny. And cute. Reminds me of Dark's gay male flamingos. Sort of. Or something.
And, this weekend, we're going to ren faire! Probably not in costume. It's going to be hot, and we're going with Bonnie and her God-son and his friend, and I have a feeling there will be times when the boys will want to run off and do something that 'Auntie Bonnie' may not want to run off and do, in which case, I have no trouble playing pseudoguardian as needed. And I don't need to trip my ass over a dress in doing so.
Well, that's enough musings for now. As long as I'm awake, I should try to do something.
Like beat my text twist score...
