P and I just got a beta. As many of you know, we had this ginormous tank that we moved around Denver whenever we got a new apartment. Well, I decided it was WAY too expensive to move it to Chicago, so I ended up giving it away to our old landlord. But before that, I had purchased this tiny 1.66 gallon tank to transport the fish to Chicago. Before I could do that, all the fish died. So we decided to set up this wee tank finally, and a beta seemed pretty low maintenance.
Anyway, this is where you come in, loyal reader. P and I have been debating what to name our fish. I've added a poll to the blog (see it? It's right under the PD&J picture). Please respond soon before the as-yet-unnamed fish dies!

Betas are INDESTRUCTIBLE. I had one in college. I didn't even have PLANTS in college. That fish... froze over a week when I was at home and our landlord turned our heat off, and, in another instance, broke through its glass bowl (there was a hole in the fish bowl) and my mother found it lying on the floor and revived it by putting it in a cup of water.
I have a write-in vote: Sashimi
OOH! I LIKE Sashimi!!!
Re: book image...What makes Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz "America's Bay-Naming Experts?" I Googled them. They seem to be self-proclaimed experts. And how can an editor have typographical mistakes in the opening paragraph of her bio? Note the improper use of ellipses: http://www.pamelaredmondsatran.com/life.php
Hey, maybe "Ellipses" (e-LIP-sees) would make a good name :)
With comments like that, Laura, you have a promising career as a "guest bloggist" at P. D. & J. The pay sucks, and we have no benefits to speak of, but it'll be GREAT for your résumé! (Note the proper spelling)
