Jail break!

From near the fish bowl of Mickey: *t-clink!*
Me: ...
Karot: ...
Me: Did he just throw a rock at-- we aren't letting you out so quit throwing rocks at your bowl!
Karot: ...
Karot: XD


Yuh. We have the weirdest fish ever. Apparently Mickey has decided to redecorate his bowl by flinging his little pebbles around. Crazy bastard.

In other news, we accomplished nothing today beyond going to the store for the olive oil we needed to cook dinner and managing to read 3/4 of a novel out loud. I didn't even put on any pants until well after 7:00. Today has been wonderful.



...new icon too. I are sneaky sneaky like a sneaky sneak. In Mexico we train our ninjas from wee.

Ohh, pets. The turtles managed to drain their bathtub habitat tonight. (Them living in a bathtub instead of their usual tank is another story all together...) Silly, miserable, dry turtles. We also lost one earlier in the night. "Where'd he GO?" while crawling around on the floor looking under furniture. No, really.

Reading out loud! Sounds like you guys had a great day. :D

Kelly: Tell us the bathtub story!

I have to agree!




Pets are so odd sometimes. We think they've figured out they look HUGE as long as they hang out in the grass by the backs of their bowls, so they have a grand time stalking through the leaves and the Appearing~ From The Depths, etc.

Ahh, the bathtub. My roommate and her BF usually care for the turtles because they're theirs, not mine. Cleaning the tank is a huge time investment, and it actually requires two people to do it well. There was this shallow bucket--the kind for painting, sort of, and we thought we might be able to keep the turtles in the bucket, *in* the tank. Since it just squeezes in, they might have been able to just float in it above the fish. Then I would've just needed to change the plastic box's water, and leave the fish tank alone, but ... one of the turtles is an escape artist and kept leaping out into the regular water, the water we weren't planning on changing at all for a couple months. It was actually pretty funny to see him, gleefully chomping away at the fish, free of the bucket. But it was also bad! Bad turtle.

So, then we realized that her bathroom wasn't going to be used at all, so her bathtub could hold them temporarily. However, the stopper for the tub is the metal covering the drain, where you press/tilt one side down to hold the water, and press the other down to drain it. One of the turtles must have taken it upon himself to stand on it yesterday, because the water had all drained out. I was going to change their water today anyway, but changing their water out at one in the morning was a very bizarre nighttime activity for me. It's all pretty amusing, though.

Tell me. Is one of your turtles named Kevin?

'Cause Kevin's a bastard.


Turtles are sneaky sneaky fast. We got our old turtle when dad found it crossing the street. He'd hibernate in the backyard but the dog would dig him up and be like "Look! I found the turtle! He was gettin' away!"

...

Only it was more like "Somebody buried him, guys! D: "

And then dad would have to go back out into the backyard and bury the turtle again.

It was the family-fun wintertime activity.

Ahaha! I heard that turtles buried themselves, but actually the kind that I have estivate because it's dry during the summer and they're water turtles. Burying the turtle...elicits many a fun image for me. The turtles are called Shark and Cooper, no Kevin here. You can guess which one my roommate named and which one the BF named.

In other pet news that you might appreciate:

We have a crab in the regular tank. This morning, I found the crab, discolored and being eaten by shrimp. Its color continued to fade through the day as the shrimp gnawed on it.

OH MY GOD, I KILLED THE CRAB!! WORST. PET. SITTER. EVAR!, I thought.

I spent the entire day thinking that I had killed the crab and that the shrimp were evil for eating its remains ... and, also, should I take the body out of the tank now or later?

It was all bad. So, imagine my SURPRISE just now when I saw the crab scuttle by its own remains and hide under the driftwood.

Um. Note to self--this kind of crab sheds its exoskeleton as it grows. And then abandons it.

No words except that it is unbelievably creepy looking.

In random order:

Your icon and the commentary makes me giggle!

I am glad that my badass fish has not (yet) learned to throw rocks.

Maybe Tav and I should start reading out loud to each other....

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

Wait until I finish making my Me-theme. I are cute babbeh.

He got a new plant today. We'll see how long it takes before he starts throwing rocks again. Mickey, I mean. Rock-throwy fish.


Also reading out loud is fuuuuun. Sometimes we even do voices. ^____^

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

ahhaa. You guys, collectively, are just so cute. This is totally a placeholding comment just to say i always read and grin but rarely have something intelligent to say.

Also, you two need Fishmommy icons, and I now miss *my* fishies.

One of Alexander's little ferns dislodged from its driftwood and is now floating at the top of the bowl. In the wild, this would send it far, far away to root somewhere new.

Alexander is swimming circles around it to make it move. Good on yer, Alexander. He uses it as camouflage when he goes up for the bubbles. We cleaned his bowl today. He still can't believe he can see out of his bowl.

We're not so much mommies as Allowed To Share The Apartment. It's kind of like teaching kindergarten.

Dude, that's what you get for naming that fish after the sandman. He now has strange mystical powers over anything dirt-related.

That icon is cute like Junsu.

[runefallstar.livejournal.com]

He's actually named after a sexually-repressed spy we know.

Kinda makes it funnier. With the whole. Rocks. Thing.



Didn't you know? When Junsu was born, his mama wrote me for some tips. I have been generous with my super secret.

World takeover by cuteness? It's only a matter of time.

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

That is also a very funny option. *G*

Actually, I think Junsu got all his cute from his dad. Have you seen those clips? His dad is an absolute doll.

Time. Pfft. World takeover by infectious evil is happening as we speak. My boy Changmin's handling the Asian sector.
