It’s spring here, or at least it feels like it right now, and it looks like it in my apartment. My ivy geranium is blooming, and so is my cactus. My scented geranium still refuses to admit that it is a flowering plant, and my vine is coming back to life after nearing the brink of death. I’ll be putting some pictures in the gallery soon.
Simplicity is nice, therefore that’s where my site is going. The News and Free Stuff sections will be merged into other sections as I see fit. So you’ll have to forgive me if there aren’t any real updates today.
Recently I discovered the stellarest program. Ok, maybe not THE stellarest, but it’s definitely up there. It’s free, and it’s funded by Google. Technically, it’s owned by Google, but I say “funded” because they bought the company, and kept all the employees, and pretty much let them run the project the way they see fit. Sorry, I digressify. The program is Picasa. It’s a photo manager. It will automatically scan selected folders for new pictures, and help you keep them organized. You can add comments to your pictures, do some simple touch-ups (red-eye, lighting, resizing, etc.), and coolest of all: it will do some nifty collages with just a few quick clicks. Sure, it’s not Adobe Photoshop, but it’s also free, and less bulky for people who really don’t need a lot of advanced features.
In other news, one of my recently acquired bettas is quite aggressive. It appears she even took on a male betta (and won). As a result, I lost two white clouds. It’s probably a good thing, since my tanks are about to become even more crowded than they already are. I’m getting 3 red bettas, with a few extras. The end.
Today I got a couple blue female bettas (fish, in case you didn’t know). They weren’t as bright colored as I expected, but it’s pretty amazing that they can ship these things all the way from California, to the middle of North Dakota. Pics are in the gallery, as usual. It seems the baby mollies can do just fine with the other fish, once they’ve gotten a little bigger, but I don’t think any of them would have gotten any bigger at all if I had left them be.
I’m really good at updating my site…
For now, this is going to become a blog (since it’s already in blog format. If you find it interesting, great. If not, I’m sorry my life isn’t good enough for your entertainment. I think I either misspelled entertainment, or it’s just an odd looking word. On Tuesday, my one silver molly had babies. I originally saved 6 of them, but 2 escaped back into the main part of the aquarium, and were eaten by the adult mollies, and Velocity (one of my bettas).
