chinese algae eater...

BJ and i took a change of pace today and spent most of our time together outside the house. we had a mission and that was to address this algae situation growing in our fish tank. my wife said chinese algae eaters are heros when it comes to making that green stuff disappear so i figured we would try our luck.
plecostemus are a good choice but they're too big for our novelty tank.

i stopped by the local shoe store to get BJ his first pair of kicks. there's something about those tiny little shoes that tug at my heart strings. he's not quite ready to use them for walking but it's getting colder and he's not exactly fond of socks. i figure it's a double bonus because now he'll have a method of keeping his socks on and it will keep him from catching a cold.

another day that almost has ended before i even realized it began... i really need a personal day from work to catch up some things around the house because it's borderline out of control at the moment.

back to the hockey game and maybe i'll try to make it through a movie afterward... i rented fargo and punch drunk love, the first of which i've seen many times and the latter i have not.
