Had my fancy goldfish less than a week and they're showing signs of white spot*. Caught it early so I should be able to deal with it no problem, going to go buy medication tomorrow. Still annoying and a tad upsetting, I like the little bogglers and it would be a shame if any died, especially since one was picked by my nephew and he'd probably be upset if it wasn't here next time he visits.

*White spot is a parasitic infestation. It burrows into the skin of the fish leaving little white scabs, from which the baby parasites emerge and then later infect more of the fish. 100% lethal untreated. 

Mutated golden carp aren't very robust are they, they seem to die rather easily.

They're actually really tough as fish go, fancy's less than normal goldfish, but they still have a pretty good immune system and can handle water changes and stress better than most common pet fish. Just happens that a lot of fish diseases are 100% fatal or near enough. Hell, if I keep these little goobers alive and well they stand good odds of living longer than a dog or cat, I just got lax on making sure to quarantine the last fish I added and accidently introduced the infection to the tank.

White spot is pretty nasty though. 100% lethal, looks horrible and breeds like rabbits in a warmwater tank. I've seen it wipe out whole schools of neon tetras in less than a week.

At last I'm back from my trip,
but I feel like warmed-up shit,
the weather outside's grim
to match the wretchedness within.

I can't even put my finger on quite why I feel so bad,
My emotions are a jumbled mess but at least one of 'em's sad,
Maybe it's just 'cause my sleep schedule's taken something of a beatin',
Or maybe it's all the awful road trip junk food I've been eatin'.

The length of my to-do list could hang heavy on my heart
(all such pressing matters but I know not where to start!)
Perhaps it's just my hearing loss that's getting to me,
But at least I know, I could get that fixed, surgically.

Perhaps this is all nonsense, and all I need's a fix,
Let the drug back into me to play all its old tricks,
Get the heat going, heap the brown powder 'pon the spoon,
Smile as the grains dissolve, knowing I'll be buzzing soon.

No, not for me the ganja, nor dope nor pipe of crack,
For one thing and one thing only will get this monkey off my back;
As I wake this morning I feel hollow, hungry, I'm a fiend,
Beyond redemption, I'm a slave, to the humble coffee bean!

That bay12 is no longer interesting to me. So much so that I'm not even sad, just mildly sad.

[SOLDIER First]

but why? ;-;

[Adragis]

I'm out of touch, man.
Like, literally, I just can't get on board with anything nowadays. The general 'mood' isn't as cozy for me as it used to be.
Maybe it's just 'cause I haven't been here in ages anyhow.

No Muslims.... hmmm.... utopia?

I have the last post in the Hype thread so I cannot enthuse there about my current realization that, since I now have in my possession a bath robe which I brought back with me from my recent trip North, I could potentially have a much-needed shower now, in the dark and cold, without suffering unduly. Possibly.

Lacking experience in the use of bathrobes I cannot be too sure of their effectiveness, and I do not know how well-made this one is.
Perhaps I shall test this tonight and find out. Will I dare? Only the fifty-three remaining minutes until my bedtime shall tell.   


Edit: Oh I forgot all about this, and my bedtime. Now I'm half an hour late. Why have I started reading Reddit again? Good thing I had precious little productivity to lose in the first place. Actually, now that I think of it I got a lot done today, by my standards.

mildly sad, forced restart.

So I've been carefully building up my nation in civ4: Caveman to Cosmos. Been playing this same game for a rl week now. Managed to get from prehistoric age to the renaissance (getting close to the end of the latter).

Then, I suddenly lose the game:

Valkyria Revolutions is nothing like Valkyria Chronicles. It's still actually an alright game, but I'm pretty disappointed nonetheless. At least I got a cool badge out of it for some fun Cosplay possibilities.

One of my calf muscles decided "fuck this gay earth" and tweaked itself way out of position for no reason. Hurt like a son of a bitch and that leg is still stiff and weird. Then I puked, again for no reason that I can see. Felt totally fine before and after. I think maybe spitting into the trash can triggered some sort of reflex...?

My friend ordered us some Chinese food. I asked him to order sweet-and-sour chicken, but he ordered me pan-fried dumplings by mistake, because those are my favorite.

I wanted sweet-and-sour chicken.

[martinuzz]

I somehow picture you slowly chewing the dumplings, then turning your head sideways and spitting them in the face of your friend.

My shoe split at the edge of my pinky toe. And also I threw up this morning while brushing my teeth. Not sure why.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I... I drank an entire carton of Mango juice in under a day...

why..
