My fish died! The very fish that I took a photo of yesterday and sent to my Flickr stream. The very fish that had been swimming in green water for more than a month. I cleaned his water yesterday afternoon and he looked so happy. This morning, however, he was dead dead dead.
Oh well. This is why I get fish as pets. I’m more annoyed that the fish died after I spent 10 minutes cleaning his tank than I am about the dying part itself.
Despite my early morning yesterday, I didn’t sleep until midnight. We had tickets to the Astros game, so off we went. I don’t have much faith that they’re going to make it to the postseason (though mathematically it’s still possible), but at least they’re still trying. Last night they came from behind to beat the Cardinals 6-5. Lance Berkman basically put the entire team on his shoulders and said “I got this one, guys” as he had 2 homers, 4 RBIs, and a particularly nice defensive stop in the top of the 9th.
Turns out I’m also going to see Clemens one more time. Wednesday was his first last home game, but apparently he’s going to pitch a second last home game on Sunday on three days rest. Unlike the past two years, the Astros finish the season on the road this year. Sunday will be my last game of the year. Sad.
I think Lance’s defense is underrated; he’s an A-OK fielder.
The Striders are in the bullpen boxes in right field on Sunday, come say hi!
Oh, it’s dying fish story day. Here’s one. I was…hmmm…22 or 23 maybe? Living in KY and got a fish.
Did you know you really shouldn’t put hot water in a fish’s bowl when you go to change it? What..you knew that? Okay, maybe I was the only one who didn’t figure that out.
Poor little fishie jumped and jumped and jumped for his life to escape the hot water that was killing him, and goodness knows I was rushing toward the bathroom sink with him as fast as I could.
But alas, it was too late. He went to fish heaven in the sky (aka the toilet).

Well, at least it was just a fish. At first I thought fish was a nickname for your truck. 🙂
