Carnage!!!

Well, it isn't my toe this time, it's my fish! Yes, if you recall, I posted about my turtle's growth a while back. At that same time I took a picture of my two sucker fish. I bought them very small to help me keep my tank clean. They have grown a lot in the last year, but now they will no longer grow, because of the carnage!!!

My crazy, scary, large turtle decided to devour these rather large fish! (I think that the fish were almost as long as the turtle but not quite as wide, probably about 1/4 of the overall size of the turtle) Just in case you already forgot what the turtle looks like, here is a picture showing his size relative to a quarter.

I was talking to the Bean on the phone when I noticed something white floating in my tank again, at first I just thought it was the turtles shedding again, but then I noticed a big chunk at the bottom of the tank.

Ok, it didn't quite look like that, but I could make out the back of the fish and I saw some other pieces that the turtle apparently didn't want. Anyway, I believe that the turtle ate both sucker fish because I can't see them in there anywhere! Pretty crazy stuff!!!
On a different note, we have our family progressive dinner tonight! We're doing the appetizers, Kevin and Heather have the main course and Alicia and Neil have dessert. Well, I hope you all enjoyed my somewhat graphic post. Merry Christmas!!

Did you check out my song chooser?

Well, in case anyone didn't notice, I removed the last entry from my Christmas list blog. (You know, the one for web hosting for a year.) I removed it because I went ahead and bought it myself. It was actually a good thing that I bought it when I did because the sale ended the day after I bought it! As you can see, I have been using it quite a bit, I have hosted quite a few songs already and you now have your choice of music when viewing my blog. (as long as you like one of my six songs) I have also used my new account to host much of the other content on my blog, this should allow you to load my page faster than you were previously able to. Filelodge, my prior file host, while free and useful, often caused slow loading files or broken links. Hopefully viewing my blog will now be a better experience for many of you. Also, if you are in need of file hosting for your blog, (this will be limited to avid readers of my blog) I may be able to help out.
     With the purchase of my web hosting service comes my own internet location for a website. So, if you are interested, this is my very quickly created home page which I intend to update in the future, but feel free to look at it now.
maczach.com
You can laugh at my clever domain name if you wish, but it was something that I could easily remember and that no one else had taken.
     Well, to get off of the computer talk I will move on to... some more computer talk. Yes, I thought I had something different to tell y'all about and then I remembered that it was related to computers as well. Maybe I'm a little obsessed! I sold a bunch of computer stuff on eBay this week. If you remember, a long time ago I posted about all of the parts that I had bought to build a PC. Well, the computer worked great, but now that the new Macs can run Windows natively, I have no real need for the PC anymore. I intend to buy the new MacPro.

With this computer I will be able to do all that I need to do on Windows as well as all of the fun stuff that I do on OS X. I am very excited about this and with the sale of much of my PC stuff I am getting even closer to having enough money to buy it!
     Well, I guess I have probably rambled on about computer stuff for too long now and maybe no one is even reading this part of the post, but if you are, thanks and if you would like to hear even more, go ahead and call me. I will be able to talk to you about it for a long time! Justin Myers knows this first hand as I often call him and talk to him about it until I realize that he is asleep on the other end!
