I rescued a beta from Walmart tonight. Some idiot opened his container and put coffee beans in the water. I'm surprised he was alive, the beans had already made the water yellow and smelled heavily of coffee. It was also completely clouded with fish waste. (There was a beta in crystal clear water right beside him, it was just the two of them.)
I took him to customer service to complain and the lady told me that he was just gonna go right back to the fish department and that nobody was going to change his water because they weren't supposed to. They said that the dealer is supposed to handle the care of the fish, so the employees would do nothing, just in case the fish came like that. How stupid is that?! He didn't come to them with coffee beans in there and nobody noticed, his container was slightly open, showing that he was tampered with. What's more is she suggested that it wasn't coffee, that they were watermelon seeds and that he probably came to them with "watermelon in the water".
I certainly wasn't gonna let him either be forgotten about and die behind the service counter or put back in the fish department to die in the shitty/coffee water, so I bought him. She offered to take off 49 cents, but it wasn't worth it, I just wanted him out of there to either get better or die in some clean water in a home.
He seems to be doing fine now, so I decided to name him Mocha. Mocha Fraps.

*Dusts off EVERYTHING*
I'm not really sure what to say, I don't even know if I have a whole lot of active followers on this account anymore. ^^;
I don't have a whole lot of updates to speak of at the moment, but I DO have a new Surface Pro tablet to do digital art on. My Toshiba Satellite laptop has served me well over the years, but alas it is just too old and needed to be retired. (At least for the most part, until I can SOMEHOW find the proper OS for it, as I'm missing a disc.) Sad as that is, I'm thrilled with this tablet. It's nice to feel what it's like to draw with tools that are more current, and to mostly know what I'm doing. :blush:
Expect more art soon
Commissions..?
In my desperation for some extra scratch, I'm announcing that I'm taking Artist Trading Card commissions. I'm not offering anything but ATCs at the moment, unless you feel like making me an offer for a larger digital or traditional piece. I've been advertising on my other account for quite some time, but I never really fully connected this account and the other together. Because I'm dumb. >_>
BUT YEAH, ATC commissions! Here's some price stuff:
:bulletgreen:Artist Trading Card Prices:bulletyellow:
:bulletblack: $7 Pencil (that means fully detailed in pencil) on bristol or manila
:bulletblack: $15 Black and White (inked) on bristol or manil
Cinematic Titanic
I WILL BE THERE. And I will probably cry. Woosh!

Burfday Times 2012
So it r mah burfday againz. I'm 12 28-years-old now, and I'm kind of at a loss about what to do. Maybe I'm FINALLY getting to be old enough to not be excited about my birthday? Still, so far, I've had a pretty good time.
A week ago, I went to the Farm Show and for the first time, I saw English Angora rabbits. If you haven't seen them before, they're basically GIANT FLUFFY PUPPY-BUNNIES. I vowed they were my quest, and within 3 days I had one. :giggle: Here's mine, being all upside down and cute (and me, being all rightside-up and ugly). http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/400180_338706936154063_100000442775559_1228839_440007849_n.

Walmart is terrible when it comes to those betta fish. I'm so glad that the ones here don't have them.
