Today I discovered that one of my MP3 CDs has two lateral cracks in the hub of the CD. (Photos to follow later today when I can get them off of my camera). This is the first time I’ve even seen that happen before. Time to make a new CD!
(update Aug 14) ah, here’s that photo:
I’ve discovered Advance Wars. Advance Wars is very, very addictive.
I believe I’ve failed to mention that we now have a second fish tank. This is just a little 10 gallon one that has five dwarf puffers in it. The puffers are pretty cool little fish: they’re kinda chubby and sort of flutter around in the water. Sandy calls them “water hummingbirds”.
Last week, our other tank almost had a catastrophe: the motor on our AquaClear Mini filter burned out. Luckily I discovered it before it was too late, quickly went out to the pet store and took the opportunity to upgrade to a Penguin BIO-Wheel 125 filter system. The BIO-Wheel is supposed to be the best one out there. I hope to replace the filter in the puffer’s take (currently a cheap Top-Fin one) with a BIO-Wheel mini soon.
Also, I sold my scooter. Sniff I’ll miss it. It was damn fun to drive, but I just don’t need it in the city, and I couldn’t justify keeping it. One day, I hope to get myself back into a position where I can buy a scooter, so I can zip around stupid gas guzzling SUVs.
Drought Reveals German WW2 Warship in River – Apparently the Danube has fallen so low in Serbia that old sunken German warships from WWII are resurfacing. Cool.
You know you want a huge Star Wars LEGO Set, don’t you?
I’m getting pretty tired of Sluggy Freelance. Actually, I’ve been getting pretty tired of it for a while now. When I started reading it back in 1998, it was funny, there weren’t too many characters, and the plotlines were easy to follow. I think I lost the plot somewhere in 2001, and there are about three or four characters who I cannot name. Plotlines that last for months are just too darn hard to follow. I got totally lost in the middle of The Storm Breaker Saga, and I mean, now everything is tied to the silly book of E-Ville and that stupid haunted house. I don’t even remember where the house came from. Maybe I just prefer to laugh when I read a comic. I know that I’ve gotten Sandy turned onto Penny Arcade in a big way, and she’s not even a gamer. (Heck, I’m not even a gamer).
