I bought the company fish (Archie- a Siamese fighting Beta that's a rich blue with blazing red stripes on his tail) a new tank yesterday. When I brought it in this morning and put him in it he was so excited- it was the cutest thing! He swam around real fast for about 30 minutes, then had to sit and rest for 2 minutes, then swam around again.

You really should have seen his old one- about as big as a coffee cup and just as uncomfortable looking. All he had to do was turn around and he'd be on the other side.

The new one is quite a bachelor pad. I got him this 2 gallon hamster/fish cage with black rocks and a broken pirate ship and treasure chest with holes in them. Oh- and little weeds that move around in the water when he swims.

PIMP!

I used to think that I wouldn't like having a fish as a pet because it isn't something you could actually PET. You know- like a cat or something. But when my boss left to film a novella in Texas for a month and left me in charge of him... well- the rest is history :)

It's nice to be having a tough time at work and looking over to see a friend. Archie makes my day. I bought him the new house to show him that. I hope he knows.
