New Fishie

This is Mike, my new Betta. He's named after my current Discovery Channel crush. *g*
He is a spunky little fish. Despite how he may seem in this photo, he's actually pretty small, about half the size Jubal was. I guess he's a baby. I got him as a new friend for Jubal, but my poor boy never got to know him. *sigh* Anyway, he seems to like his new home as he's build a HUGE bubble nest. :)
Welcome to the family, Mike.
Fish Woes
Jubal died this afternoon.
It was sudden, though not completely unexpected. I'd been gently encouraging recovery for several days now, but I guess he felt it was time to stop fighting. He died in my hand. This all really upset me, especially as I had just gotten him a tank buddy to hopefully perk him up.
*sniffle*
You were the most beautiful fish I'd ever seen, Jubal. Thank you for sharing your spunk with me for the last year. I love you...

Birthday
My fish, Jubal, and I had nice birthdays yesterday. We went shopping for hangers and other essentials just to get out of the house. We went to the pet store to play with the reptiles, but they were all asleep! But they were cute in their sleepiness, so it was still fun. And later, we watched new House and NCIS. Funness.
Well, I did all that. Jubal just... swam around a lot. *g*

Huggles to all who sent wishes, and special snuggles for
dragonbetween and
tehshroom for the pressies. :D
Now, back to Real Life...

Fish Woes
Kavan died sometime last night.
He'd been sick a while. The last thing I said to him before turning out the light on the tank for bedtime was that I hoped he got better, but it was okay to let go if it's what he wanted. He apparently felt it was his time.
*sniffle*
I hope you feel better now, Kavvy. I love you...

Randomness
I just got my hair cut really short. But, I cut it a day too early... I didn't have it to hide behind while watching the latest ep of Doctor Who. It was soooo creepy!! *heebie jeebies* Anyway, haircut...
( Summer Haircut )
Several weeks ago, I entered several artworks into the student art show. Among the ones accepted was an abbreviated version of Grendel. Since Action!Ben had a featured role in it, he went to the gallery premiere...

As usual, my fish are cute...

Gratuitous Fish Momma Moment
This morning, I fed my fish Betta pellets as I usually do before class. Well, Kavvy was so excited, he attacked the food like he does when he nips my fingers. He got the food in his mouth, but it got stuck to his upper lip! He tried to bob his head to make it come loose, but to no avail. He then opened his mouth really wide, like he does when he yawns, and wiggled a little, but still no luck. He finally got it down with the help of a pebble...
OMG IT WAS SO CUUUUUUUUUTE!!!
That is all. :D

Birthday Shindig
The usually family get-together went well. I had cake. But my roomies made this year extra special...
( Birthday Booty )
Also, special thanks to my LJ peeps who wished me happy birthday last week. (Especially
dragonbetween and
roadrunner1896 for your awesome packages. I'm still giggling and having a small stroke, respectively. Hee.). *glomps!!*

Dorm Buddies
Dang it. Alex is a bad influence on me. I can't go to Wal-Mart without trying to save the Bettas. I now have one of my own...
( Kavan the Betta )
And, of course, Alex couldn't resist either, so she has two more Bettas now...

Alex has a "small" Betta fixation. Last night, we got a new tank for one of her Bettas. Lucky little fish...

We have all sorts of fun fishies in our room this year. Perhaps there will be pics of them sometime. :D
