Stop Giving Me Those Whorishly Cute Kitty Eyes!!
Six Superheroes Who Completely Lose Their Shit.
It's the "Hulk Punch Rainbow!!" one that really kills it for me. (Although, frankly, say what you will about Marvel heroes and their issues, they will never ever approach some of the shenanigans their DC counterparts have gotten into for the sheer crackitude. Let me tell you all about that one time Green Lantern's powers temporarily went on the fritz because of tainted canned vegetables. Or, better yet, two words: red kryptonite.)
Went out this afternoon to get drain cleaner (f*cking apartment pipes...), ended up wandering into the pet store.
Against the wall there are the obligatory "Adopt First!" cages of lovable strays, here to guilt-trip you. There was a gray kitty with the saddest meow that was just begging to be taken home and loved.
However, I cannot have things of the four-legged furry variety in my apartment without breaching contact law, and I don't think merry_raven would be none too thrilled about being forced into silent partnership over a contraband kitty. So I move on over to the reptiles section.
Baby cornsnake is cute. So are baby ball pythons (one was hanging off the wall thermostat in a loop, wtf). But as much as my math sucks, it doesn't take long pricing 20-gallon cages and heating equipment to make me realize this is not a great idea for my recently reimbursed savings account. Plus, there's that whole "feed frozen or thawed mice" issue.
Why are pretty aquarium fish so darned hard to take care of?
And why do ferrets cost over 120 dollars??
It's about this time that I begin to realize I really, really miss having some sort of smaller less-sentient creature, of any sort, in my life to waste my time and affection upon.
And wow, do I not have the time to get back into neopets.
So...does anyone know anything about beta fish care?
