Aquarium Repurposing Plans

There's something I've been pondering over for a bit of time now.  I guess it all started when I had so much trouble with the whole breeding debacle a couple of months ago, but really it's been a long time coming.  Ever since I've had my aquarium set up, it has always been used as a freshwater aquatic environment.  I've never done anything besides that with it.  Many of you know how fond I am of nature documentaries and stuff like that, and I'd started thinking about possibly repurposing my tank to house a variety of salamander.  Particularly tiger salamanders.  These are terrestrial but need some water for cooling off and laying eggs.  So, needless to say I would need to completely rework the current environment of my tank, as it is right now.

My Fabulous Fig Tree

 After a two week delay due to an outrageously unseasonal snow event, as well as my own health problems, This past Saturday my father, a friend, and me planted a brand new fig tree in my backyard!  Huzzah!  It really is sort of interesting how this all came about in the first place, as I really had no plans to plant a tree in my backyard until about a month and a half ago.

Origami

Needless to say there has been a lot going on and I haven't posted here in a while. So here goes.  In addition to my weekly online Chinese lessons, I've taken up the beautiful Japanese art of paper folding.  There is a great site that has tons of diagrams and animations: Origami Club.  I've only done a few so far with varying success.  Here are a few of them.
