Ok, seriously, people are using live goldfish as centerpieces at events like weddings? [link] The hell?
Yeah, I went to one about 6 years ago with betas in vases as centerpieces. They were big vases, and there was some sort of greenery in it that provided an adequate oxygenated environment for the betas to continue living in the vases. (Water lilies? doesn't seem right but I can't think what it was. The roots were pretty, as was the green bit above.) They were gorgeous centerpieces, actually. I declined to take one when they were giving them away at the end of the reception. I wonder how long they live and if anyone kept one to the end of its natural life.
Vegan matzo balls, attempt 1, is definitely a success. The texture is slightly off, but I think that's because I didn't cook them for long enough, but the taste is absolutely perfect.
Bettas don't need oxygen supplements for their tanks. The wild variant lives in puddles.
Domestic pet store bettas usually live 1-3 years. I think the longest I had a beta in my years of beta keeping was 3 years? Maybe? I think. I kept some in a proper tank for about six months, but usually, they were in a small bowl. Poor oldest betta. My roommate was feeding him for the weekend and got concerned about the water level and added tap water.
Which, naturally, killed the old man.
Alas.
That Lego Jesus is awesome, and totally not what I was expecting when I clicked on the link.
hurm. I guess my unemployed 22 yr old niece is going to have a baby with her bf who has a part time job as a bouncer in a strip club.
Do you think she might call the baby Reneesme?
I wish she'd call it "oops, it was only indigestion".
Sometimes I look at the caring, intelligent, responsible community leaders that my parents are and wonder how they produced such a clan of fuck-ups.

That was me last night. I'm not sure how I'm so awake and alert right now. I anticipate the crash just as soon as I sit down at my desk at work.
Also, my allergies are so bad that my left ear is all stuffed up. It's disconcerting. I'm hoping the good (behind-the-counter) sudafed will help.
