Ducky is my hero
Sep. 5th, 2009 01:52 amHe eats bugs <3
The biggest goddamn housefly I have ever seen landed on my bedside lamp. I managed to hit it (pretty hard, too) with a book, and it fell to the floor -- probably partly because I hit it that hard, and partly because it was stunned. Ducky was on it in a flash, pinned it under his front paws, and then gobbled it up!
The other day he ate a spider for me, too. I'm glad Ducky likes the kitty treats because he deserves them <3 <3 <3

Missed my chance at going to an awesome birthday celebration at The Magic Castle because I didn't know my phone rang until an hour and a half later, but it's okay -- went bowling with Flatmate and some of her peeps (the band minus the bassist, but plus Flatmate's bestie/the guitarist's GF). I like bowling, even when I suck at it :) And it's always easier to be a sport when you're not The Worst, at least it is for me, anyway.
Which leads me to the observation that Flatmate might be the anti-athlete. The vast majority of the frames she bowled were zeroes. Add to that the fact that she generally dislikes games and is Bad At Swimming and not very strong or fast or given to endurance...

I went to Petsmart today, to buy litter and food for the kittens, and I stopped and looked at the Bettas while I was there... and I absolutely fell in love with one gorgeous male. He was striped -- long bands of white and I think red (it's hard to tell because they dye the water blue, which I have always wondered about. Maybe the blue is actually keeping the water clean?) from his nose to his tail. The edges of his fins were white, but the bases were red, and his body was mostly red but for a thick streak of white on his upper sides.
I was thisclose to buying him, but I'd have to get another bowl and more rocks to put at the bottom of it and it would take up so much more counterspace and he and Huw would make each other crazy trying to fight but never being able to. But he was so pretty. :c
