Diet Sunkist

Why do I like Diet Sunkist? The taste. Frankly, I don’t remember what regular Sunkist tastes like, so it’s not fair for me to say that Diet tastes just like regular. It might not. But it’s the perfect beach drink. It’s light, it has good jolt of caffeine to keep me awake on the drive back to Tallahassee, and it doesn’t turn my stomach like a Diet Coke does in the heat.

Stay tuned for Volume 2.

Day 76 - Uh, so what’s the deal with the frogs in my bowl? There are four bug-eyed freaks on a toad stool, and they haven’t said a word to me yet, they’re just staring at me.

Day 72 - I’ve decided to play a new game with the humans called “Splash The Human.” Whenever feeding time comes, and the lid on my tank is lifted, I like to do my best Matrix impression, flip around 180 degrees and splash the human feeding me.

Max score is 1000.

Anywhere on the human = 100 points.

Face = 250 points.

Eye = BULLSEYE! 1000 points.

So far I’ve accumulated 1250 points in two rounds, my first ever shot was a bullseye. I’m a natural, what can I say?

Day 62 - The plant has moved, the plant has moved!!!

Evidently the humans decided I need a chance of scenery every now and then. At first, I wasn’t too happy about my plant being moved to one side of the tank, but now, I have to admit the place is better than it used to be. I have more room to roam around, but I can still snuggle up in the plant when I feel like I need a moment or two of rest.

Other than that, the tank is nice and clean again. Not that it was overly dirty, but it’s always nice to have a fresh, clean tank where I can blow a new bubble nest. Oh yeah, and I got bloodworms yesterday… mmm mmm mmm.
