This Is Why I’m Not Getting The MLB Package Until The All-Star Break

Pedro is hurt… that’s all I really need to write.

Metsblog has all of the answers in case anyone wants to know why I’m a bit down today. Who would have thought that the ticking time bomb would go off after 3+ innings?

Stuff That I Like Volume 1

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.

Charlie’s Journal - Day 76

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.

Charlie’s Journal - Day 72

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?

Charlie’s Journal - Day 62

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.

Charlie’s Journal - Day 49

Day 49 - Uh, helloooooo it’s getting a little dirty in here.

Life outside has been interesting lately, the two humans have been in my room a lot the last few days. They’ve been watching a bunch of TV, and the female has been on the couch way more than usual. I hope everything is okay.  A couple of days ago I went quite a while without any food, and when the large one (male), fed me, I literally attacked my food.

Mmm. I love those Hikari Bio-Gold pellets! It’s the crunchiness that makes them so good. Don’t get me wrong, I like bloodworms too and have fun “hunting” those when I’m treated to them, but on a daily basis I look forward to my Hikari pellets.

In other news, I made the biggest bubblenest yet. A new personal record is always a good thing. I also heard a rumor that I might get a large tank down the road, I’m not holding my breath. Hahahaha.

Charlie’s Journal - Day 42

It’s been a while since my last entry, but I’ve been very busy lately. After my tank was freshened, I again tried to dig my way out, but to no avail. I did it more out of boredom than anything else. The food has remained high quality, and I’ve decided to try to nip the fingers of the humans that continue to feed me. The female gets nervous when I do it, hehehehe and she tends to just throw in the food. The male, however, doesn’t seem affected by my aggressiveness. In fact, he seems to like teasing me by poking his finger in the tank if I try to nip.

Needless to say I don’t bother jumping at him much. Other than that, life in the tank is great. I do my laps, munch on food and sleep in the tree. All with a grand view too of the hustle and bustle of a home.

Charlie’s Journal - Day 28

Day 28 - I haven’t written in the journal in a while, mainly because it’s been busy around here. I had to completely recreate my bubble nest, thanks to a freshening of my water supply. I’m thankful though. The water wasn’t murky or anything (I have friends stuck in dirty old vases) but let’s just say I have to poop where I eat, and after a while that’s just not cool.  Fresh water makes me happy, even if it’s a little stressful getting in and out of the tank.

Speaking of that, those humans aren’t too bright. I realize I have a natural tendency to squirm, but I’m really not that hard to hold on to. How I ended up on a counter for a minute, I’ll never quite understand.

At least I got blood worms after that!
