Amanda and Jon got me a betta! Like the fish! They just about made my year. I haven’t decided whatto name it yet. They inform me it’s a boy, but I think it’s going to get some kind of proper nounanyway, so that may not matter. (Does it ever, with fish?)
I’ll put up pictures soon, but right now I’m enjoying Amanda’s mullet too much. After that I think the fish may just take overeverything.
“The Fish Take Over Everything” is a great name for a band.
Update 1614 hrs: Idaho! (is the name of the fish!)

Oh man. Gerbiltea.com isn’t taken, and that could well be my favorite domain name ever. If I ever get a second domain for this thing, that discovery could well lead to a title change.
This was brought to mind by a thread in the Checkboard Nightmare forums,duplicated here, on which Stephen posted his and his lady friend’s audio rendering of a story book, with voices. Blue Fish sounds a lot like this gerbil in an old Riders in the Sky fake commercial for gerbil tea, which was one of the longest-running in-jokes in my family before we forgot about it entirely.
The question this brings to mind, of course, is was Stephen a gerbil voice actor nine years ago?, but I don’t think the answer would be as interesting.
