Today, I shall TRY to numerous things, unless I get too lazy!
First, I'd like to make some new avs for livejournal, cuz I've had these for a very long time. I'd buy more space for a ton of them, but. . . I dunno. I'm not sure what fandoms to cover. Repo! has come to mind. Perhaps Family Guy.
I definitely need to clean Zoe's tanks no matter what else I get done, THIS is top priority. I also need to get her some food and perhaps carbon or more water filters.
I wish I had the money to grab either Killzone 2 or Resident Evil 5 for the PlayStation 3, or even a new movie. Transporter 3 is out, I haven't been out hardly this week, so I'm not sure what other movies are out there! I've been working my butt off all week, I was so tired this morning I woke up later than usual. I have church -_- in a few minutes. Well, it starts at 11, but still.
Hmm. I'm sure I had more things I wanted to do today. . . like watch Repo! The Genetic Opera, or play some video game like Call of Duty: World at War. I have yet played Tomb Raider: Legend, and its still in the plastic! How odd for me.
As for future plans. . .
I had been thinking ALOT on this subject. As Zoe grows larger, she is gonna need a bigger home. Such places as Lowe's or Home Depot have black plastic forms for building your own pond. I think I may do that this summer. I had thought about not burying, at least, not yet. They are pretty cheap with the 120 gallon ponds being about $70. I thought that was cool. It's the right size. Turtles require 10 gallons for every inch, and they can grow up to 12 inches. Right now, Zoe is 7 inches long. ^_^ She's getting big, too.
One of the reasons I didn't want to bury the pond, yet, was because my mom wanted to build a den, and I figured if I built it entirely now, I'd have to redo it later. All I need is the pond form and a pond filter. I can always get rocks and plants later, and collectively. Though when it gets really cold out, I'll have to keep her in. Captive turtles don't brumate like wild turtles.
Also, with the pond not being buried, she can't escape. I'll also have to put something around the edge of the pond (when its buried) so she can't escape. My darling, Zoe. . . She only deserves the best.
I had actually seen a man-made pond at one of the homes we cut. Not far from here, either. Like our community, its one of the richy rich folks. Funny how someone who is in the lawn care business can do this well. . . Anyway, we can actually see the community, in fact several communities we work in, from our place. Thank God our little place is wide open. We don't have anyone living right next to us. Also a plus is that we have TWO streams on each side of the house! oooorah! Wait, what was I on about? OH! a pond I saw. Right. Well, if had goldfish in it, and ALOT smaller than 120 gallons. But it had rocks in the bottom, rocks around the edge, a nice waterfall (which was set up using the filter) and lovely aquatic plants.
We'll see how that project goes as the summer progresses. I hope I have time to deal with it, especially when we're already super busy. *nods*
