Day in the Life of an Idiot

...so, my signing at Uncles' went well on Saturday, at least as far as I'm concerned. Which is to say, people showed up, I wasn't alone, and a few books went out the door. Not bad all and all. (Maybe Don is less impressed with the number of books sold, but you know, given that this one is number 4, I feel good if anyone bothers to come.)

When I have more time (Mason and I are about to head off to the MN Zoo), I will have to write some true fish confessions. I bought a couple more tetra to keep the lonely one company, and it may be a tragic mistake. I killed two this morning totally by accident. I noticed they had spots and removed them right away... and then spilled the fish bowl they were in and they died on the floor before I could get them back in the cup. Sheesh.

But I do have to say that I was talking to my friend Gerriann on Friday and she told me that they got that five gallon tank from someone who kept it as a hospital tank for his Ciclids. As Shawn said, that's sort of like finding out the house you just bought in Amityville used to be the orphanage/insane asylum.

What's frustrating about this whole thing is that I bought the new tetra before we left for Indiana. And everyone was doing great until this morning. Sigh.

Anyway, Mason and I are off to enjoy this beautiful day at the "big zoo." We're going to pack a lunch and go check out the farm babies. Maybe I'll take some pictures. Speaking of which, I have a new Marvel Tarot card to show off soon. (Although I might now just be drawing for the fun of it. I'll tell you after seeing "Wolverine" all I really wanted to do was come home and draw.)

Oh, and who out there has seen the new Trek movie? Is it any good? Does it suck? Should I hire a babysitter or wait for Netflix???
