Lopsided Growth

( Close up on moss wall here. )

Light is definitely the control variable here. Growth on the left side of the wall, where there's less
floating debris, has definitely grown the most during this week. The other sides are showing a much higher significant level of growth since I got rid of some of that floating riccia, but not enough to the rest of it look equal. I'm going to need to find some more riccia to give away. I think I have a pound of it that I can probably give away.

Water levels were raised. Output of the filter has been collecting with algae, so I'm sure Pancake will feast this week. If algae levels get really bad, then I might consider getting a second pancake to help in the job. Still a tentative option however, due to my own difficulty in determining whether they'll starve each other in the process or not.

On the return from home with a bag from "Teriyaki Boy" and a satchel full of sodas and instant noodles, I sat around in the Jersey City terminal wondering when the bus would come since it was so close to leaving time. I sit around, read more Wodehouse, and try to contemplate humor.

Along the way, a man comes up to me and asks if I can spare some change or a bite to eat. I hear him and pause, and I think he wonders if I heard him, but I can't really think of what to do. I always told myself that I should do this if I have time, but at the same time the bus was supposed to come soon. Looking at my watch, I ask him if there's any place in particular he'd like.

"There's a KFC nearby. McDonald's would be great. There's also a place downstairs."

I think of taking him to one of those places, but then I think about the bus again and the thirty minute wait between, so for the hell of it and since I already stepped deep into this, I accept and take him downstairs.

Chatting with Goldfish

Actually, that's an insult to goldfish, since it's proven that they do learn. This person, on the other hand, has no memory. In fact, it was likely some scam that tried to get some naive undersexed idiot to take part in some 419 bit. The person is from Holland and contacted me on Yahoo Personals for someone to talk to. Oh boy, did they just get that.
( Read and laugh your head off. )

The moral of this story: I am not that desperate.
