i pesci sono morti...
first, the good news, from the department of BAHAHAHA!...
I GOTS A VALENTINE! yays & a snoopydance! it's from tferguson & like all things fergy, it's hilarious on many different levels. (hope he doesn't mind me blogging about it, but my dear readers are the only ones who will get & appreciate the joke(s).)
firstly, there's the childlike simplicity & charm of the construction paper hearts- enough to make you go *awww* & stick it on the fridge next to the paint-w/-water carebears.
nextly, there's the very nicely done calligraphy- & you have to appreciate that in itself. look ma- effort! so that gets another *awww*...
and then there's kicker#1: it says Be My Bestestiest ...& that's where the BAHAHAHA! comes in- for several reasons, but if i overexplain it, it will cease to be funny.
so then there's kicker #2: attached to the back was a gift- a cat butt air freshener created by same thoughtful folks who produced the field guide to cat butt identification christmassed by inanna_astrea. on the back of the packaging- in the requisite cautionary statement, it specifically says do not eat. m'kay- yeah, thanks for that clue. but it's reminiscent of those pine-scented trees you can hang from your rearview mirror, only it's shaped like the rearview of a kitty... w/ the stringhole being, uh, anatomically correct in its placement...
the whole thing was terribly amusing & made my valentine's day totally not suck. so thanks ferg! you the funny.
and now... wipe those grins & BAHAHAHAs from your faces, for the bad news cometh now:
& on the third full day, Death came a-calling a casa sottacqua... all 3 of my male guppies have passed from this realm to the next. it is a sad day indeed. well at least they kicked it before i got really attached y'know... after much discussion w/ j'belle the marine biologist, we have determined the cause of death to be cold water temperatures. i didn't get my tank heater until sunday, & once installed, there surely was a vast difference in water temps...
i would like to point out that the female guppies have survived, & i can tell by the way their lips are moving that they're singing a bit of gloria gaynor in there... the tetras join in for the chorus & the molly beatboxes a disco tune... but my point is, the females survived. oh yes, grrlz... we's a hardy bunch.
also surviving are at least 5 babies. yays! i was seriously disturbed last night when i could only find one to show teh spice, who dropped by to deliver her husband's valentine- which is another reason it's so funny...
so tonight, the j'belle comes to a casa del gatto, & if my netflix does not arrive today we will be watching j'belle's copy of thelma & louise, unless of course, it's on VHS... which just occurred to me. (my antique VCR is not compatible w/ my new-fangled TV w/out an additional cord, sold seperately- & which i am uninclined to purchase.) j'belle is bringing teh vino- w00t! & she's not much of a drinker, so i'll be gettin' druuuuuunk. yays!
Happy Izjusta Regula Day, ya'll!
