...the return

long time no see huh? well lets see, after hurricane one and hurricane two, a month long trip traipsing across the country and cruising the high seas, dealing with a poorly timed apartment move, two weddings, re-adjusting to living near the 'rents again, and settling into my job transfer, i'm finally back! gotta try to not go no hiatus for such a long time in the future.

So here i am, hopefully to be seen making more frequent and free-flowing entries and allowing the serious and the silliness to ensue. and on that note, i've noticed that my goldfish cuddle together in the same corner of the fish bowl every night. Cuddle you ask? yes cuddle, when their were 3 of them i never noticed this, but now that 'blackie' has passed into the great beyond, i've noticed this phenomenon. although i pride myself on being fairly knowledgeable about goldfish, i am not, however, an expert. i wonder if they just like the companionship or if it's something more, and i can't tell the sex of my fish so i have not idea. anyway, stay tuned for a picture of the cuddling duo, i wouldn't let you'll miss this for the world.

and speaking of pets, have you ever noticed how people who don't have children talk about their pets like children. I overheard two of my bosses talking the other day about their pooches. "I can't just send them out to do their business, oh no, i have to play with them or they'll be pissy the rest of the evening," says the first boss. "well mine knows when i'm not in the mood to play that she's out of luck, I just give her the look and she knows not to mess with me," replies the other boss. and all the time i'm sitting in the corner and shaking my head and thinking "there is know way in hell i'm telling them about my cuddling fish, or how intelligent my algae eater is, that would just be weird."
