First of all, I stayed up until 6:30am today in order to take pictures of the riverside view. On a walk the other day, I discovered a part, among all the suicide hills, that'd allow you to safely walk down to the Mississippi. I considered it a "secret spot", until I found people fishing there. Anyway, I can't get Kong to walk down there because she's afraid of the dark surrounding trees.

Anyway, over eating pancakes this morning, Kong and I decided to take a big trip out together. First we went to Panera for snacks. Then she wanted me to show her Berly's, which she agreed was a Wonderland of foodstuff. Next we walked a mile to Barnes and Noble where we picked up the Rainbow Fish book, then we walked another mile to Cashwise for dumplings and apples. Finally, came our longest store visit.
We stopped inside PetCo because Kong has really been wanting a pet. We found these cool things called glass catfish and I wanted a blue gorami. We spent
three hours trying to get the approval of the associates in order to get the fishes, but basically we learned the hard way that most fishes are just too sensitive to simply throw in a bowl. We found a small tank that came with a filtration system, but they said we'd have to run the tank for two weeks before we could add fish to it. Simply put, problem after problem kept arising with the associates telling us different things. We eventually gave up when they told us to get a bigger tank with a heater. In the end, we settled on beta.
The red one is Kong's and is named after her boyfriend and the pretty one is Smirnoff Ice, because he's my cool gantsa. Unofficially, a fanfic is in works about East (Kong's) and West (mine) and the Great Blue Wall of Berlin. Tired out, we finished the day by eating fried chicken on the floor.
