Okay, let's balance out the morning suckfulness with a few happy-making things:

Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris. It doesn't get much better than that.

These costumes from Baycon absolutely kill me. Genius!

Wil Wheaton and his stepkid? Hawesome. "'You're trying to get your rock on . . . to REO Speedwagon?' He said, incredulous. Tough to argue with that."

I have a pretty new crowntail betta boy to hang out with Max. (By "with", I mean "near". Can't put two males in the same tank.) His name I think will be Victor Hugo the Second (*ahem*), and at the moment he's kind of lost in the five-gallon tank I got for him. I thought belatedly I should put Max in the 5 since he's a lot bigger than the new guy and put Victor in the 2, but I put Victor in the new tank because I really wanted to get him out of that tiny little cup he was in and shifting everyone around would take a while. By the way, Petco currently has a sale through this week I think where the Eclipse 5 Hex tanks are $20 off, making them $30. I almost got one for Max, but I didn't actually want another hex; I'll get him a different 5-gallon later this week, and maybe look for an appropriate fishy friend for their tanks. Do I spoil my pets? Of course I do!

Hmm, I might have to get a Eclipse 5 Hex. Was thinking I'd get the corner Eclipse unit for in our bathroom but they haven't been marked down much at all at Drs Foster & Smith or anywhere else. (Right now I have a regular Eclipse 6 on the counter in our bathroom for Phineas our crowntail guy and I keep thinking a corner tank would work better there but a hex would fit in the corner nicely too. Then I could move the 6 into my office or somewhere else and get another betta . . .). I'd seen the hex tanks on sale at Petco a couple months back too. Our closest Petco is currently sans fish entirely for a remodel and they seem to have less stuff in stock as far as tanks and supplies go too.

I refrained from buying a second 5-gallon at Petsmart because I wanted to check out Drs. Foster & Smith first, but they didn't seem in this case to have prices much better than I could get locally. (Note to self: order Maracyn and Maracyn II from them, because they're about $6 cheaper than Petsmart.) The Eclipse hex looks like a nice tank, especially for $20 off. ;) I'd really wanted to get 3-gallon tanks for each of them, but all they had at Petsmart was the Eclipse 3 and I wasn't quite up to spending $80 for tanks quite then on top of all the other stuff I had to pick up for various pets while I was there.
