Procrastination. Makes it Happen.

[ image ]One of my fish died yesterday. I came out in the morning to feed Laucian and noticed that there was a pale oto tail sticking up out of the rock I’ve got my Anubias barteri var. nana attached to. I couldn’t scoop him out; instead had to get the light off the top and literally pull the corpse out by the tail with a pair of tweezers. The head was stuck in a tiny little hole in the rock, pretty tightly too. It looked like he’d tried to swim through but been defeated by the gravel, then suffocated; gills held down by the rock and unable to move. Poor little tucker.

On the other hand, it gives me an excuse to go out to Redtree Aquariums in the next day or so to buy a replacement. I’ve been meaning to go out and grab some Glossostigma elatinoides, too, but I might hold off on that. In the last month or so I’ve gotten a really bad explosion of filamentous green algae. I’ve been removing it with water changes, but I’ve been a bit lazy and haven’t really gone through and really tried to remove it. Like with alum. And scrubbing. I need to do that; the explosion of algae is starting to deteriorate my wisteria, which is no good since that’s pretty much indestructible.

I’ve been so lazy lately; it’s a stress reaction and I know it is, but… yeah.

Incidentally, I’m getting married in a week and a half. Oh, and we’re offering on another house. That’s going to auction. On our wedding day. So it’s stress, but it’s happy stress. Happy happy stress.

I’ll tell y’all more about it after the fact, okay? Okay.

    Well, congratulations on the upcoming nuptials! What area are you planning on buying in?

      Thanks!

      And we’re looking in the northern-Tuggeranong/Weston Creek areas of Canberra, mostly. Real worst-house-on-the-best-street stuff. ^^”

    It’s very interesting reading your blog… it’s stuff I can actually relate to. Well, most of it. At one point, I even thought you were a guy. Don’t ask me how I thought that, considering your name was “Alis Dee”. Heck, I still think Felorin is a girl.
    By that last comment, you must have realized that I’m from Furc. Remember me? Eternally Dusk? That annoying guy that kept on pestering you about that skin commission? Good times, good times.
    Just found this blog about a month ago, and I have to say, I’m bored by blogs in general. Nothing really important about reading some crap about their life and go emosob in a corner. Interesting, very interesting. *rolls eyes*
    Your is unique, though. Shows signs of life. And it’s updated pretty regularly. Can’t say the same for a single Livejournal. Just found your picture. You pull off the “black but not goth look” pretty well. For me; can’t go into a mall without someone calling me emo.
    Only have really read a few of your blogs. One about the smartphone was interesting. My dad got into the palm pilot market early into the game and had one of the first ones. He’s got a relatively new one now, but he’s never considered switching to a smartphone. Just leave the phone business for the phones, and leave the organization to the palm pilots (or a piece of paper). He’s kinda hard wired into it. In fact… he called me up this morning from his office because he had left his palm at the house, and he needed to know every to do list item in the device. Yeah, he’s hooked.
    I’m rattling on now, I think. I tend to do that sometimes…
    Your other sites are cool as well. Wanked! does well as a review site, but it’s not that well known. You need to put it out there! Maybe get some fans by posting a link on the Furcadian Forums… dunno. You need to get it some more exposure.
    In general, this has turned from feedback to discussion. Feel free to contact me on Furc sometime. Maybe we can hook up over IRC and talk crap. Something to do this boring world we call Earth.
    Well, be seeing you. Have a good evening. [It's 11:53 PM here...]

      Guh, coding error from when I tinkered with the script the other day. Thanks for pointing it out; will fix it on Monday.

      Remember me? Eternally Dusk?

      Yup. :)

      Thanks. It’s dead deliberately at the moment, though; my interest in Furcadia has waned again, taking with it the desire to infamy. There’s no point in me doing F!W just to stir trouble; the point of the site was always to amuse me, which is why it’s temporarily out of action. One day, when I pick up Furc again, I’m sure I’ll go back to it, but right now I’m happy enough to let it languish while I work on other projects.
