You know what I miss reading the most?

 I'm still pretty depressed it's no longer in print.
Therefore, i will be spending the wee hours of this morning looking for some issues i missed out on with my best waste-of-time friend. ebay!

Sorry Chrome.

So last semester I ditched old firefox for the snazzy new mac version of the popular google chrome, since I everything else google does is the cats pajamas in my (and everyone else's) eyes.

But after a couple of months I made up my mind: Chrome blows.

I know many might love to argue my harsh conclusion with a bunch of computer geek bullshit right now. but the truth is, I dont care. I like what I like in a browser for what I use the internet for.

This refusal to adopt this new 'technology' is based on the mindset of subborn old man, i realize, but hear me out.

My biggest annoyance with Chrome is also it's biggest selling point: the simplistic and uncluttered design. 

I missed my 3 toolbars which reminded me to visit blogs obsessively, my cheesy cat theme, and I guess it really came down to being comfortable with what I already knew.

I'm sorry I ever strayed from the browser that inspires such great works of art.

new year, new projects!

so since I am pretty much still only good at baking lasagna, I've moved on to a better and more expensive hobby, fishezzz!


I scored a tank from craiglist about 2 hours of staring at my computer contemplating a pet I could actually afford and tolerate. there was no turning back.

And with a little...er, alot of help from the boyfriend, I managed to set up everything once i got back in Iowa City and decided what fishes would put up with such a aquarium novice. I decided on 5 pretty tiny neon tetras, and a catfish to get rid algae problems.

 Its been about a week now since i got the fish, and things seemed to be going well, until yesterday...

Biggest problem hit me after I got the fish in the tank, of course.

So dispite my earlier research on what 'hardy' fish I should choose and my annoying inquires to the petco "aquarium animals specialist" I later look up Neon tetras and find out they are actually the most fragile of the tetra species and SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN "UNCYCLED" NEW AQUARIUMS. well damn. thanks for all the help petco.

I found one poor guy dead today. and if the other four go, atleast i got them on sale?
