I've never heard of Sea Monkeys. Trilobites reminds me of a set of dinosaur and dinosaur-era cards I had as a kid; the trilobite card was my favourite. It's probably something completely different, but reminds me that we briefly had a goldfish when we were living in Ohio. I think it died while we were away from the weekend. I don't remember being very upset; although I liked seeing fish tanks at doctor's offices and hospitals (they made the places feel less sterile), I've never understood the appeal of fish as a pet. Most reptiles aren't cuddly, but will sit on your or let you touch them, which you can't do with a fish.
(I do like cuttlefish, but I don't think you can have them as pets!)
Completely unrelated, have you watched any of the Olympics? My dad and I have tried bits of all the sports, except basketball, online. We especially liked fencing, which is very computerised -- it almost looks like they're fighting in a holodeck! The sailing and canoe/kayak were also interesting in that I knew very little about them. Trampoline, which I had no idea was even in the Olympics, was like diving without the water. We also watched a very exciting table tennis match between the top two women's Chinese players, as well as one of the badminton games that led to the expulsion of eight players. Archery and shooting weren't as captivating as I'd hoped. I'm looking forward to the Taekwondo.
My mom's recording all the swimming, diving, and gymnastics, as usual.

How have you never head of Sea Monkeys? D: I've always liked fish, but I haven't had any of my own for ages. I like that sometimes they'll swim up to the side of the tank and seem to be watching, or will even follow along if I move. I also love the giant goldfish/koi that are sometimes in mall fountains. The Greenwood Mall near here has some, and they'll swim over to meet people and blow bubbles. Also I seem to have associated goldfish with Waya XD
I've been watching what CTV airs, but CBC-the other channel I was watching-has gone off the air (and their repair crews are out of province :/ ), so I'm not watching as much as I would like. I enjoy watching Fencing (épée & sabre), but CTV is more focused on the swimming, gymnastics, & track events, so I've missed most except poor Shin A-Lam's bouts :( I have downloaded what thebox.bz has of it, but have yet to watch it though. I don't have cable/satellite and my internet has been poorly stuck around 12Mbps (though honestly I don't go on my computer much any more any way -_- ).
A girl that I went to school with (for 3 years & graduated with) named Jenna Martin was competing, but didn't make it to the Women's 400 Metre final for running. I also know someone who was in the Opening Ceremony, and will be in the closing--Helen Thomas (@Nelle_MacBeth). She was one of the ones in the white overalls & hats known as Mechanicals.
I recorded the Opening, and will be recording the closing, but Jenna's races weren't shown though I hoped that they would be. And my favourite athlete Simon Whitfield crashed in the triathlon :(

I can see goldfish with Waya. I don't remember if there's anything in canon or not, but it feels right! XD
In order to watch the Olympics online, we had to prove we owned a cable package, which I think is silly (NBC is a free channel, but I suppose it's because the other channels it owns aren't free) and rather contradicts the spirit of the Olympics, especially since the videos themselves are on YouTube. There were a few videos we tried to watch that wouldn't load, but it worked for the most part. I think my dad was sick of Olympics by the second week, though.
It's neat that you knew people who were in the Olympics! I never knew him, but there was a man from a local school competing in judo; he was expelled for a positive test of marijuana, claiming it was accidental.
Speaking of expulsions (the dark side of the Olympcis, I suppose), my dad and I watched two of the four teams in women's badminton that were expelled. It was amazing both that they were so obviously trying to throw the match from the beginning and that the officials gave them multiple chances and allowed them to finish the game before expelling them.
The Tae Kwon Do was very disappointing to me; I always liked forms and board breaking more than sparring, and I found both the men's and women's gold medal matches rather boring to watch.
I've only watched the first third of the Opening Ceremony; the 'Industrial Age' was my favourite part, with the smokestacks, pounding music, and forging of the rings. I also really liked the Mr. Bean segment -- I'd no idea he'd be involved!
