woke up this morning. noticed there was light comming in the window. thought that was unusual, since andee gets up at like 6, and his alarms begin at like 5:30. this time of year it's still dark out. woke andee up, asked if he meant what he said as he got into bed last night, that he wasn't going into work because he's sick. he said, sleepily, 'no ( Read more... )

i went to the ceramics studio yesterday. whoot! it was fun. made some stuff. might be able to borrow the little electric wheel they have since it's been sitting there for a year. complications of it being property of the city of nürnberg make it so i can't have it or buy it(silly paperwork, i guess), but borrowing it is an option. so long as i ( Read more... )

i got my absentee ballot today in the mail. it's highly exciting ( Read more... )

well, i dunno that it's really a fail, but one of the fish died and another one is displaying the same symptoms.(sitting lethargically on the bottom, breathing a little rapidly) im betting on new tank syndrome, despite the bacterias i added to the filter. i mean, how could the bacterias have survived well when there were no fish in the tank? and ( Read more... )

well, andee and i went to the fish store that had the sparkling gourmais and andee refused. he said they were boing. i feel like he didn't look at them long enough to see the sparkle, but, yeah. fail! but he said he's like a tank full of neon tetras, so, that's what we'll get. cause they *are* pretty. i think we need to make our water somehow less ( Read more... )

we took our water in and other than being on the hard side, it looked good. maybe we need some sort of filter? i dunno.

anyways, we bought some pygmy corydoras (cute pix and some infos here) to be the little living vacuum cleaners. they are all sorts of adorable. they were so happy when i let them out of the bag. they immediately started eating ( Read more... )

with help from my dad i just discovered they DO have crockpots in germany. and great britain, which would only require a simple adapter. they call 'em 'slow cooker' here in germany. them silly germans stealing english words again. lol.

apparently, that will also be my christmas present from my family this year. a crockpot. ^__^

so yeah. i think the excitement of getting the aquarium was just too much for me. i totally got sick monday. and im still sick. stupid colds. maybe it's the crappytacular weather here. but on the good side, i've had an excuse to stay in bed all day today! heh. im actually starting to feel a little better today, at least my face doesn't feel like it ( Read more... )
