A new monday feature! Which really means check in next week and then you’ll never see the random five again.

1. Cleaning Aquariums - I found a murky glass box in my living room yesterday so I decided to clean the sides, change the filter media, and remove some of the overgrown plant life. It turns out I have a fully functioning aquarium in my apartment and there are still 18-20 live red Plattys with a few fish that appear to be only weeks old. Whod’ve thunk it?

2. Raw Tomatoes - I’ve eaten three since Thursday. My mom used to cut them up when we’d eat greasy food…she said it was a good counterbalance (to something). I’ll dice one up and put a few tablespoons of white vinegar and soy sauce. The Filipino way would be to use Tiparos brand Fish Sauce…which I own for cooking, but it possesses a smell I loathe.

3. Sitting at Home - After spending my free time during most of the last three years at band practices, I find sitting at home and being lazy an appealing option always on the table. The hermit existence I tried hard to leave behind in 2004 can be quite fun.

4. Deerhunter’s Microcastle - Currently leaked and will be officially released at some point this year. It’s good rainy day/long drive/setting sun/turn on the headphones/eating fruitsnacks music.

5. Managing Costs - I’m trading in Comcast digital cable for AT&T DSL (at $20/month savings)…if only to make up the amount of money I’ll spend per month to make sure I can track CTA buses on my cellphone as many times as I want.
