Fish Stories....
So a couple of days ago I was invited to join a game called 'Fish survivor II - Davis". What this entails is my friend Alison procuring several feeder goldfish (@ 10cents per fish!!) and releasing them into her fish tank. Each participant selects a fish, names it, and follows its progress throughout the days or minutes to follow. This is actually a great boon for the fish...as I have now witnessed the tanks of feeder fish and they are not a friendly place...and the alternative is being selected to be fed to a turtle or something...so really...beling selected for the reality experiment Fish Survivor is really a stroke of good luck!
I did receive some bad news today though...my fish, Charlie (named for Mr. Chaplin because he had this cute little moustache-like marking above his mouth) passed away yesterday. As Alison put it though..."In the brief 12 hours that Charlie was in my life, my tank was fuller..."
Here is a pic of Charlie - you can sort of see the moustache...now that I look at this picture though...I see he looks tired...he just wasn't up to the challenge...poor guy...sleep well my friend...
The remaining fish and their respective owners are:
Rex (Kevin)
Spot (Alison)
Smudge (Aaron)
Ink (Jenna)
Princess (Kelli)
and probably a few more I don't know the names of....
This is Rex (named for Kev's car - the WRX - I dunno...he looked speedy) I've got my money on him now...

You are right -- both about the little moustache and about Charlie not looking well. His eyes look like they are already rolling into the back of his head.
I should have known he was doomed.... the update now is that all fish from this round have passed away. Took just over a week for the reigning champ from last season's competition to intimidate all other fish into death....
I would love to steal the name Sacratomato from you. Is there any way I could convince you to delete the blog?
I want to write about vegetarian cuisine in Sacramento and thought the name would be perfect.
Feel free to read my life blog: http://countmockula.blogspot.com to see if you deem me worthy of the name!
Drop me a line at pigsinzen AT sbcglobal.net if you like.
I'd never ask if it looked like you were using it..
Thank you,
Kara (Count Mockula)
