Updates, Phoenix

Update of the Jackel is that I'm feeling a bit better...the antibiotics that I obtained are definitely helping. Only, they make me feel sick to my stomach. Which I guess is an improvement. *sigh*. I'm going to try and make it through a whole day of work today. Yeah. :P

I ordered a bunch of comics from Comic Relief in Berkeley yesterday, including the new Phoenix: Endsong, which I am told is beautiful. I'm totally excited, because the whole phoenix thing is probably my favorite part of X-men in general. Even though Sage is my favorite character, not Jean.

I like phoenixes just conceptually and always have, Jean notwithstanding. There is, for instance, a small one on the wrist of Aiko the kitsune in the below pic, which is one of the slew that I turned out while on my enforced break from reality.



Hope ya like

Feeeeeeeshy!!!!!!!!

The three-spotted gourami is up to about 2 1/2 inches long, is still the dom fish in the tank, but isn't tormenting the others too much. She's easily the prettiest, with lots of really nice blues. All of the fish look really good and are about 3 times bigger than they were when I got them. I'm happy about 'em!

Pouncival was watching them and pouncing at them through the glass this morning. It amused me.

I have given up on the tiny cory cats; I think they are gone. Yesterday, I got two more, an albino and a neat greenish spotty one. They are very visible and very active (I think that the albino's antics were what got Pouncival all interested.) The two new ones herd, and the two old ones herd, but I have not observed much inter-group herding behavior betwixt my small, busy catfish.

I still want another panda one. The pet store had one, but I declined because it was tiny, and I've sworn off micro corys.
