I went to snag some cash out of Pig (my piggy bank) in order to get myself a bottle of medicinal Diet Dew from the corner store.

Someone has been helping themselves to Pig’s contents.

That someone returned from work today. It seems that while he was busy salting the Munincipal Lot, leaving the Town-owned truck he was driving unattended (and keys still in the ignition), another someone hopped in and stole it. The police have yet to retrieve it.

I believe I owe the cosmos a thank you note.

My aquarium light arrived today. It seems the folks at FedEx cannot read because despite “Fragile” stickers plastered all over it, the carton arrived with one end caved in, and the light is cracked (twice) on that end. I just shot off an email to Drs. Foster and Smith regarding the problem since it’s not really something that can be returned via US Mail. Probably why they didn’t include the usual return label.

So, the plants, the fishies, and the living room are going to have to wait at least another week before being brightly illuminated.

On a positive note: I discovered something about my site’s new pluigin, Post Avatar. I’m not limited to 100 x 100px images. Bwahahahahaha! *gives LJ and IJ the bird*  Granted, I don’t plan on using anything larger than 200px but it’s good to know. Not only can I create a virtually unlimited stash of icons, but I can make the ones with text a bit easier to read. Woot!
