I took my roommate to get her belly button pierced today in celebration of her acceptance to the one-year teaching certification program after college that our campus offers. While we were out, we stopped by Petco and oogled swimmy things. We got....

A CRAYFISH!


....for the house tank. Well, they're mine, but they're a house affair and so we all are involved in the fish goings-on. I'm driving to Baltimore this morning around 8, but luckily I'll have this evening to nap, drink margaritas, and watch films, etc. You know, the typical saturday evenings before the semester starts getting violent and we hide in our rooms huddled over keyboards and sources and manuals. I hate getting home late on saturdays. Those are my lazy days!

We named the crayfish Scuttle, since he scuttles all over the rocks. He burrowed a satisfactory little hovel under the fish castle and is currently being ridiculously cute down in there.

Russian class is coming along splendidly. I think I've got the Cyrillic alphabet down, but we'll see when she whips out the flashcards on us on wednesday.

You know, most people bring home a betta fish or something like that. But what does Blan-chan bring home? An evil little lobster-wannabe with pinchers.

Just kidding. XD Wicked awesome! Have you named it yet?

Yes, I have a crustacean fixation! I can't help it!!
His name is Scuttle because he scuttles around the tank very quickly, and also because of The Little Mermaid ;P Naturally!
