there's a new addition to my little family. and no i didn't get anyone pregnant. i got a goldfish.

meet Superman. i didn't actually buy him myself. he was given to me after i feigned kvetching over someone's feigned misstep. i haven't had much luck with fish in the past. we went through several takes of all kinds of fish when i was growing up. but this one's going to be different. this one isn't going to die. he won't be overfed, underfed, frozen, boiled, or leap to his death because life is just that unbearable in my care. no, this fish will want for nothing. he will be a happy fish. and if i can find him a bigger home, he may even get a companion.

oh, if you look at the photos of him, you'll notice i finally got him a real home. he had been living in my saladbowl for a while. remember that the next time you come over for dinner.
