This weekend, the nano tank came down. It’s not as big of a deal as it sounds, and I’ve been planning it for a while. I was at the point where I was really just going through the motions of feeding my clown fish, making sure there was water in the auto top-off system, and doing routine maintenance. I wasn’t enjoying it, and since I am travelling more these years, the tank had become a bit of an obstacle for getting away for longer periods of time. Anyway, it is strange to have an empty corner in my living room, and to not hear the gurgling of water at night.

I am reading the Yiddish Policemen’s Union, again, by Chabon. Fantastic book. I seem to really enjoy books that are bleakly funny. When I first read it a year ago, it took me a few tries to get into it, because I was stumbling over the Yiddish terms for various things. It’s a recommend, in any case.

For a music track, I’m going to recommend a tune called Call Me, Call Me, off of the Cowboy Bebop sound track. There’s a video, from scenes taken from the show. Truly, one of the best anime series of all time.
