Horrible fish event, some fangirling, aaaaaand September

[la_belle_laide]

I need to document that the stiff, barbed, dead body of my catfish Dexter just stabbed me in the hand. Blood everywhere. Dexter was fine last night when I turned his light off. Catfish are bottom-feeders so I have no idea why or even how he got out of the tank.

Now I've got one fish left in my 20 gallon tank, which is Quatre, my gold angelfish. She's actually the second fish I got, too, so she's pretty old. The newer ones have all died.

I don't know why I have such bad luck with fish. I take care really good care of them! I clean the tanks every week, feed them but don't *over*feed them. I use frozen, un-dyed food w/out additives ffs. None of this flake crap. I use filtered water and put in all the right scale-protective stuff. I check the water stats constantly, temps are perfect, and I don't mix incompatible species. Yet they all die in such weird, horrific ways.

Oh, so you're probably wondering how we fared in hurricane Irene. Ehhhh. We seriously dodged a bullet. Didn't even lose power. Well, it flickered on and off for a few times, but nothing major. Meanwhile, it's, what, five days later and most everyone east of us, and some west, are still without power. My job shut down for the week, so no paycheck. :(

The pool is up! But it's like 70 degrees here anymore. So that's lame.

Tomorrow is (FINALLY) my dr. appointment for my exploding ovary. Boy, am I ever going to explain, quite tersely, how they brushed me off two months ago. Anyway, that's never a fun day, is it?

Let's see, what else. Oh, I am totally loving Dr. Who. I loved the 9th doctor, and I love 10. I only just finished season 2, Doomsday. NIAGRA FALLS COMING FROM MY FACE. It was so sad. But I like to cry at movies and shows that I'm into, and video games. (I still get teary whenever I watch Aeris die.) So now I'm going onto season 3 when I get the DVD. Supposedly there's an episode in that one called Blink, so terrifying that when you watch it, you die with a load in your pants. Actually I watched the trailer last night, and that gave me nightmares. Can't wait for that one. ^_^

Umm, my hand is getting swollen now where my dead fish stung me. Eww. That is so goddamn awful.

Aaaaaand September! WTF, how did that even happen?

I feel not-too-partial to Matt Smith. I've seen him here and there and so far he's not doing much for me.

Yeah, I felt that way for a while too, but I completely changed my mind once I got into the fifth season.

You might not, I mean they're all good, but there's something just delightfully childlike and silly about him.
