Aw Erin

You are so beautiful, and I love you.  I hope you got to listen to the song I recorded for you.  I encoded it on .mp4, and .mp4 won't play on my Mozilla Firefox, nor would it play on the Google Chrome I have in my cell phone.  It does play on Internet Explorer, but in general I'm getting fed up of having to install plugins.  I think the next time I upload a video, I'll just encode it in .flv.  That's pretty universal, don't you agree?  I do think it's odd that YouTube uses .mp4, and Firefox can play YouTube but won't play .mp4. 

Natty, is that your Vespa?  It's so cute, and totally suits you!  It looks ancient though.  It must be fun putting around Paris on that thing, and seeing the sights.  Do you skateboard?  Have you thought about skateboarding around Paris?  I'm not particularly a connoisseur of haute couture, but I have a feeling you're going to be showing off a lot of that in Paris.  Rich women's clothing.  Go Natty!

It's time for another installment of "The Vicious Lives of Fishes", starring the guppies in my fish bowl.  A couple of weeks ago, I was cleaning out my fish bowl.  I had put 3 smooth and large rocks in there for decoration, and they were slippery from the slime buildup.  One rock in particular was too large to comfortably hold and pull out of the bowl, so it slipped from my fingers and crashed to the bottom of the tank.  I screamed, "Aaaaaargh!", and my guppies scattered.  One female got crushed by the rock, and it took her 4 days to die.  Poor thing.  Now I only have 1 male and 4 females in there.  I since have removed that rock from use, but the bowl looked so bare, I decided to get one of those plastic plants.  I bought one for dirt cheap at a newly opened DIY store, it's pink and yellow and looks great in the fish bowl.  No sooner than a couple of hours that I had put the plastic plant in there, a baby guppy was sheltered within the leaves.  That fish bowl was so bare, that baby fish had little chance of not being eaten by their parents.  Talk about perfect timing.  I bought that plastic plant just in time to save the life of a baby fish.

Here's a photo of the male fish swimming around the fish bowl.  Not necessarily a blessing, but a great snapshot.
Pina, you must be hungry.  Here's a photo of my noodles in soup.
And here's a snapshot of a curry calzone and a sausage calzone.  They look kind of like hats, huh?
