the carnage of it all

we have had two losses this week.

galena, our firefish, has sadly passed away in the tank. she was persnickety all week long and i had noticed her going through a phase of noneating. since she's done this before we just kept an eye on her to see if she would get hungry. unfortunately, this was not to be and she is gone. sniff. but the bristle worms made short work of her as a meal afterwards, so galena did feed the tank and the ecosystem lives on. sniff sniff. i'll miss that snobby pink fish.

my ibook started going on strike a couple of days ago. the screen would shut itself off and the video card committed harey carey earlier today. most of the weekend has been spent in shutdown/reboot mode until the final blow of "i've fallen and i can't get up" went into overdrive today. sniff. the good news? my hard drive fits in the powerbook that derek was using before he bought his new laptop a few months ago. i officially apologize for nagging his ass about not selling it, as the powerbook is now my new computer. we're bonding right now.

au revoir to my two little special friends, and all the holey socks and underpants that have gone on to the next world in the past week. sniff sniff sniff.


new tools i bought this week:
