I Shall Call Him Squishy, And He Shall Be Mine

So my apartment doesn't allow cats or dogs (if they did, my parents would have shipped their cat Ralph here a long time ago), so the only "pet" I can own is a fish. I've had many betta fishes before, as well as the sucker fishes that eat the algae off the tank walls (he didn't last very long, however, and getting him unstuck from the tank after he died wasn't pleasant). I'm back to having a betta, mainly because they are so easy to take care of and pretty to look at. :)

He is almost albino, with a slight tint of red and bit of blue on the fins. I haven't thought of a name for him yet so if you have any suggestions, let me know!

60 In January?!?

So here I sit typing this in shorts and a t-shirt with the windows open. Sounds like an occasion that would happen during the spring instead of the middle of January! I can't believe that it is 60 degrees on the 5th day of January, normally around this time we have already had a blizzard and people are hunkering down for a long winter. Instead I see people running outside (something I should be doing!) or playing frisbee with their kids after school. This global warming is no joke! Hoping the weather can hold out for the whole winter! :)
