Listening: Sex Pistols
Reading: The Civil War
1. I saw a neat website once, for misheard song lyrics...I have a couple of those firmly stuck in my tiny cranium...I am convinced that what is sung in the first verse of 'It's Up To You' (The Specials) is "We can't force you to injure this muesli", and I can't actually hear what he really sings...Maybe he really wants to insure the muesli, I don't know...My latest is in 'Waiting For The Great Leap Forward', where Billy Bragg suddenly yells out towards the end of the song: "Baby, I'm Scottish!" Bard of Barking, my fat pink ass!
2. I'm a bad, bad fish mommy...On Saturday, I did a quick half water change for Fishie, and he seemed a little weird, but looked fine, though he didn't eat...I finally figured out that I have been feeding him waaay too much (seems that the instructions on the fish food are wrong, big time), so I wasn't worried...When I went to feed him on Sunday, he was ill...I mean ILL...I went straight to Yahoo Answers, and it seems he has something called 'pop-eye' (Warning: Link has a gross pic, if you're squeamish)...The stupid bint at PetSmart gave me some fish medicine that she said was the only thing you could use on Bettas...So I used it on Monday morning...And evening...By Tuesday morning, he was looking really, really bad, so back to my trusty World Wide Internets...From what I'd read and been told, pop-eye's caused by an internal bacterial infection...What she had given me was a topical skin treatment...I went right to a different pet store after work on Wednesday, and got a whole new tank setup (he had been in just a large bowl before)...I figure that if there's an infection, he shouldn't be sitting in a jug of bacterial soup, so he's got a big ol' 10 gallon tank now, and a filter and light and all that good stuff...Oh, and the RIGHT MEDICINE...He looks a lot better already, though I don't think Fishie's out of the woods yet...
3. That Hippie Chick's a clever gal, oh yes she is! She's Blogging away on her MySpace page like no man's business...I wonder if I can bring her over to the Bloogle Dark Side...?
4. I'm obsessed with my new Frappr maps...Zooming in on Santiago, Chile, etc. (Gimme a break, I've never been to Chile!) I was a bit disappointed though, since the map over Melbourne is not working right at the moment...I have cousins that live in Ballarat, so it's not really cyber-stalking, right? *grin*
5. Just found out a certain Not-So-Local college has an online Funeral Service course...Then I found this, which made me drool on my keyboard...They've got an even cooler Masters in Thanatology...But I really can't afford it, so maybe I'll just find out more about the NSL college stuff...*sighs and wishes for a winning lottery ticket*
