My Beta Died - So I got 11 new fish to replace him.

To assuage the loss of my beta fish, Little G, I decide to go to Jungle Jay's Pet Store and buy 11 new feeder fish, and a giant bowl to put them all in. I had such a difficult time recovering from Killer's death that I thought if I went over-kill on the distractions, I wouldn't have time to go through the grieving process. So far, it's working.

This is Thing 1 and Thing 2. They are in my room. They are pretty much identical except for a little white mark on the bottom of one of them that looks like a one.

This is a shot of the bowl sitting on top of my dresser. It is about a 2 liter vase filled with about 4" of rocks and has two shoots of bamboo in there too.

This is Brain. He's got a large noggin, accentuated by a big orange mark on the top of his head.

This is BP (Bits and Pieces). He is 3x smaller than the rest of the fish. He gets his name by the way he acquires food. He lets larger fish, like Brain, crush the food flakes and he swims around the bottom to pick up the pieces.

This is Emo. He's dead. When he was still alive, he just looked like he wished he were dead.

This is Tiger. You can see the black strip down his back with orange on either side. He is so feisty.

This is Spot. He has this single dot right on the center of his head.

This is Finnegan. You can see on the right side of the picture, he's got one orange side fin and the rest of his body is totally white. He also has an orange ring around his left eye that looks like he's been in a pub-fight. Fin + Fighter = Finnegan.

This is Norman. He is enormous. He is also very, very normal-looking; thus the name Norman.

This is "Three-Spots" Morgan. We call him "Three-Spots" because he has one spot on each of his three fins. The name is also a tribute to the fictional, but still Great, British Grifter, "Three-Socks" Morgan.

This slippery one is Fredo (Short for Alfredo, like in The Godfather.) He slinks around in the shadows of the others and is the greasy, rat mobster of the school. It took me 20 pictures to finally get a clear shot of him.

*Special thanks to both Amanda and Liz for going with me to pick them out!

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB". The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc. Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that thing as The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...

Song Analysis: Your Blood by Aurora

Do You Recognize the Melody? When I first listened to Aurora's 2023 hit single, " Your Blood ," I was immediately reminded of " Lovefool ," a 1996 classic from fellow Scandinavians, The Cardigans. I assumed they were both singing about unrequited love, but I realized they told different stories as I spent more time with Aurora's work. Background Interview with the Artist In this article, A Matter of the Heart , Aurora gives listeners a glimpse into the meaning behind her hit single, " Your Blood" . In summary, "Your Blood" reflects on the loss of heart and empathy in a world driven by rationality and profit, exploring themes of pain, empathy, and interconnectedness. Inspired by a letter written by Indigenous activists from Brazil , Aurora's album, What Happened to the Heart?, questions humanity's reliance on mind over heart, highlighting how decisions driven by logic rather than compassion lead to suffering, both for the Eart...
