Well if this was a test on parenthood, we've failed beyond words.
We buried all 50+ kiddies today...

She finally pushed them out today. There's about 50 of them, but they are so tiny it's hard to see them with the naked eye, much harder to take a picture with my crappy livingroom lighting. We've moved her back to the main tank... We've been reading many conflicting stories about how to make sure they survive, so I guess we'll play it by ear.
FIFTY!
FIFTY!

Ok, when we got Langos, she was full of eggies, and we read that in order for them to survive, you have to put her in a separate bowl with some vegetation and when the eggs hatch, to take her out. Today she started pushing them out so we did the little bowl transplant. Here's some picsies, we hope it all goes well!
La camaroncita está dando a luz!

On this one you can't see her head because of the glass curving, but you can see her little guys!
No es muy buena la foto, pero en esta se ven los nenes...
Here she is again!

Brock almost CHEWED my head off for forgetting to post this one. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the only roller coaster he rode.... Note the impressive hights it achieves:

Yes!! Talk about GOOD days! I took a day off work and Brock and I went to Knott's Berry Farm. Here's the log for the blog: Snoopy's Summer Vacation! 
The thing about the BigFoot Rapids: They got it out for me! I got drenched: 
And Brock came out completely dry: 
Yeah, like he needs more scrambling, right? 
We went on a wednesday, school is in, summer's almost over... We had the park all to ourselves!! Here's bumper cars, just us :) 
The only coaster I rode. It was small, there was no line... 
Had a loopy thingie... 
But it gave me a headache... So therefor, it was the last. Here's the things we DIDN'T ride: 
Here's Brock making use of his survival skills: 
And out of the blue, Brock was reunited with his childhood sweetheart! As you can see, they were both extatic... 
He couldn't believe it, he was walking on air! 
I was very happy for him too... 
But then he started seeing things... 
Not even these two señoritas could stop the hallucinations... 
He was seeing Snoopy everywhere!! 
Eventually, it was innevitable... 
He's feeling much better now... Take that, Tom Cruise!
hee hee!!

De vez en cuando amanezco alaja. Y aprecio la tecnología digital! Además, en esas fotos del tatuaje se me ve, bueno, atrajeada! Molida, hecha costal de papas, arrastrada cual Alfaro... etc, etc, etc... Así que para que me recuerden como en los dias generosos:
Today... Good day! And hey, we've got to milk them, so here's a picsy:
Hi Folks!

We went to the movies saturday. This was in the parking structure:
Que se cree? Cortina? o piensa que es necesario andar barriendo el pavimento?

I went and did it! I got tattoooeeddded!
For a while I've been wanting to add something to my pre-existing tattoo, my lovely embracing couple... I specially wanted to add color in some way, to make it special. It was kind of bland and lonely. I toyed with the idea of wings, petals, maybe even just splashes of color. Then I remembered Gustav Kimt, one of my favorite artists. I went through a bunch of his paintings and came across one that contained a fantastic tree:
After a few sketches I had this:
All that's left is to dive right in! Here, have a looksy:
Phase One: Stencil
Phase Two: Pretend it doesn't hurt
Phase Three: My new buddy Mike!
I'm not posting a close up picture because it still needs to heal and also maybe retouched because it was a difficult one, and the ink was the same color as the stencil, making it even harder. I will post it when it's fully done :)
I am very happy even as I am shocked that it's so big (I don't know why, I'm the one that drew it and sized it). Some day soon I'll rework the older tattoo, add some color too, make it more vibrant.... But that'll have to be when I wont remember the pain anymore... It wasn't SOOO bad, but it took a really long time (about 3 1/2 hrs.) and towards the end it got worse. I was exhausted! Still am...

The fishies needed a new home, here's the new pad:

Sadly, Camy and Rony passed away, so their succesors will carry on their torch. In the picture you can see Langos, and Tino is in the shadow of the filter... harder to see. Also, two yellow guppies moved into the comune. Pictures comming soon!

Alex seems to be afraid of the Brock power....
