Guppies Everywhere!
I think I'm going to have to "borrow" my parents' 75 gallon aquarium and setup at my house. When I went to feed the fish Saturday night I noticed the female looked a little different. Then I looked at the bottom of the tank. Guppy babies everywhere. I lost count at around 19 when I noticed another group behind the castle. Last night I lost count around 30 or so. I'm thinking my poor little 20 gallon tank will not be able to support these new guppies in addition to the 5 adults and dozen that were born last month. Not to mention by poor Neon Tetra. The only of his kind to survive to this point. But I'm sure my plecostomus is happy as a kid in a candy store.

The funny part of the guppy situation is that none of the guppies I purchased at Petsmart are still alive. And I specifically asked the guy at Petsmart about the whole breeding thing and he said they only carry females. Apparently one of them didn't get separated soon enough at the fish farm. I must say the males are much more colorful than the females. But you can judge for yourself by clicking here.

My paladin hit level 47 last night. I've got this goofy quest in Tanaris right now though. I'm supposed to find these "Gahz'ridian Ornaments" which is all find and dandy. Unfortuantely they appear as a little lump in the sand and are hard to see unless you get really close to them. Fortunately, the quest comes with a device you can put on your head to make them show up on the mini-map (like radar). Unfortunately the thing looks rediculous when you have it on. There really are no words for it. I'll have to post a picture.

I had a bit of a revelation last night as my paladin leveled in a golden whoosh of light. I've realized that she has more levels behind her than before her. My paladin is 13 short levels away from the level 60 cap. Yes just like baseball's salary cap, level 60 is as high as you can go. Then it's all about raids and gold collecting. Saving up for that epic mount. Helping the less fortunate lower levels to finish those pesky "instance" quests. And then finally retirement. Spending the day maxing out fishing and cooking skills. Learning how to make runecloth bandages. If I ever find the stupid recipes for something higher than Mageweave bandages...

As for real world exploits not involving fish, I had bowling this past weekend and did pretty well (149, 179 and 169). Not bad considering my average is about 145.

But I leave you now with but one last thing... Happy Birthday Kara!
