Many days, no post

Let's see...Gimli, my oldest betta, died last Saturday. He was over 3 yars old, and the first betta I got after moving to AZ. I made it until Monday before getting a new one. He's a blue-green crowntail, still on the small side. He's also still nameless, though I almost called him Vincent after seeing Vincent the dog on Lost. No name is really sticking to this betta yet, though I've considered Daniel Vincent, Fredrick, or maybe Thornton. I must keep up the tradition of fandom names. SO far I've used LOTR, Lost, and period films.

I need to pay the utility bill, but I have to get stamps.

I need coffee.

Later on, I'm going to play Rock Band at a friend's house.

14 days of school left, and much work left to do. Argh.

I'm too lazy to explain much this morning.

okay names...

Mr. Bingley, Mr. Knightley, Captain Wentworth, have you had a Gandalf yet?

[ringsandcoffee.livejournal.com]

No Gandalf yet. If I'd watched LOTR recently I might pick a name from it.

I'm stuck on Frederick or Henry (Tilney) at the moment.

I'm amused by naming a fish Frederick. A fish being responsible for a Navy mutiny? lol :P

Well, Wentworth's name is also Frederick, and he's a captain! He also had some personal issues to work through...

I watched 1995 Persuasion last Friday. I needed an Austen movie fix.

Oh. Too many Freds lol.

I guess you like your fish to be boys, but just to throw it out there: Dori from Finding Nemo? since the fish is blue?
She'll make all the other fish laugh :P

I know the feeling

They are all male bettas. I could get female bettas but the males generally have better colors. So, the boy names.
