methinks my fishtank requires a new filter. this is upsetting on two levels: my poor fishies are swimming around in shitty water, and a newer/better filter will probably run me around $30 - $35. which i don't really have to spend on a fish filter. hm. i am also seriously considering trading in my plecostamus at the local pet store. he's gotten muy huge, and he positvely fills the fishtank with shit on a daily basis. petland does trades, and i think he's of a substantial enough size to get some good trade-in value. i'm conflicted though, since technically he is my pet and i don't know how i feel about that. i mean, really, he's a fish and won't know the difference. but finding nemo and all that...what's a girl to think?

in other news, i had a phone conference tonight for the scene design gig in chicago - i felt very 'freelance professional'. it was really funny since i sounded very official and "right on top of that rose" while sitting in my living room with harry potter in the background, and wearing shorts and a baseball cap. i loved it. i'm still awaiting meeting minutes from the meeting i had to miss last night due to Retail.

i wasn't able to trail ride today and my heart is heavy. my sleep deprived brain and body rejoiced though, i will admit.
next wednesday i plan to return, depending on what kind of shape guys on ice is in.
