Meet Mr. Schneider, The Blue Lobster

August 26th, 2008

One of the many additions to our new aquarium is a blue lobster we’ve named Mr. Schneider. (Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.) Mr. Schneider is a rather industrious lil’ lobster. He has spent days (literally) creating a home for himself (we don’t actually know his gender) under a large rock. In the video, he is seen moving rocks around to help accommodate his new lair. Watch for cameos by a molly fish (R.I.P.) and a neon tetra.

Music in this video is by AjT.

I hurt my back earlier this week, and because of that, I’m on drugs. Nothing too severe. Just enough that my ability to concentrate is a bit skewed. Hence, this won’t be a long post.

We went to the California Mid State Fair a couple weeks ago. We walked around a bit and saw the Stone Temple Pilots play on the grandstand. Those pictures are here.

My sister gave us an aquarium she no longer needs (because she replaced it with one that’s big enough to hold small whales). Photos of our new aquarium can be found here.

Photos from Monterey

June 1st, 2008

Last Friday was Jen’s 35th birthday. To celebrate, we took the train up to Monterey, CA. We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, walked along the shoreline, did a little shopping and had some great food. Here’s a few photos from the trip:

We picked up a HUGE piece of Oreo cake at the great Rosine’s Restaurant in downtown Monterey, Took both of us a couple days to finish it off.

See the rest of the set here. We took more video than photos, so look for that in the future. We’ll also be discussing the trip in-depth during the next episode of Hyper Nonsense.

Fish Jail

September 26th, 2007

A few weeks back, we had a danio fish that went nuts. The fish had to be isolated from the aquarium. Original music by me.
