There are 70 guppies. I found 3 more the day after I moved the rest. I added 6 Glolight Tetras a week ago and they are doing fine too. Today, a school board member is donating a tarantula. I am beyond excitement. Best of all, TTFH, Princess, despises spiders.
I would post updsates to the room appearance, but it really does not look any differently. I am doing lesson plans for my FIVE classes, 1 of which is new this year and 1 of which was new last year so really has no curriculum yet as I designed the course, so I am busy.... meanwhile Princes TTFH is fluffing about making things look nice and hoping I am sure to scab the Biology lesson olans I will eventually have to create. I've put that class off till last for that very reason. She usually likes to have things done ahead, and it makes her crazy when I have procrastinated ( i have the first month roughed out on a little paper calendar but have not yet put it on the web) so she ends up doing her own.
It will be too noisy for me to do any work requiring thought today so no doubt the room will gert put together and I will have photos. In any case, I will have photos of the tarantula.
Required - one new noodle shop in Boston (preferably T-accessible) that knocks your socks off. I've gone too long with just visits to other cities for my bowl of noodle-y goodness.
the colors at sunset and sunrise have been startling and super-saturated-- last night it was golden-orange against the building opposite for a good while, instensifying bit by bit into darkness-- this morning I awoke from busy dreams desperate to pee, and when I returned to bed, the color of framed window light arrested me-- a deep butter yellow, and all the branches and leaves still, as if in attendance on something holy. I lay there watching the color shift to a lighter, greyish early morning cast, and the trees began to sway and shiver with moving air, a breeze that smelled of autumn and moist growing things-- and then I had to sneeze and go blow my nose.

Back in the pre-ipod days, my favorite pal Sean and I worked for a record shop/label. We sat on two matching Costco stools with big ol' Sony headphones, sampling music and writing up reviews. When a particularly bangin' tune came across our desks, we'd trade each other headphones and make the appropriate faces depending on how good it really was.
Now Sean and I both have proper jobs (he's got credits on Justin Timberlake's album, for one) but the internets has made it easy to swap those headphones. Here's three choons he pointed me to today - drum-n-bass in the Hospital Records fashion.
(no videos, really, just sound.)
