I'm genuinely stoked by my goldfish aquarium screensaver. I shunt it over to the TV on the DVI cable so I can watch the sleepy simulated fish swim around and even though it runs up the electricity bill, I still love my goldfish aquarium screensaver.
You can't feed the fish or interact with them, and they only have like 6 animations that are randomly strung together. The background is only marginably configureable and there are major conflicts with the screensaver action versus my video player's screensaver killing features. Nevertheless: I love my goldfish aquarium screensaver.
If there were a Winamp plugin that would make the goldfish dart around on beat, or put up a wall of bubbles in the background that responded to the music on or something, that would be like ecstacy. Just me, my artificial goldfish, and my Snoop Dogg bootlegs. Bad ass.
I downloaded my goldfish aquarium screensaver at Oink. Maybe you wouldn't love having a goldfish aquarium screensaver the way I love having a goldfish aquarium screensaver, but you do have the option now to decide that independently.
On a related note.
I just set up a tropical fish aquarium. I'm now obsessed with my Corydorus Schwartzi. Cool little catfish buggers that remind me of squirrels all hyperactive and shit. I like them more than I like the Neon Tetras and Chinese White Cloud fish.
A banal story about my aquarium. When I bought the Chinese White Cloud Fish one of them just lay on the surface and got stuck in a circular current because of the sprayer bar. It would float on the surface backwards towards the sprayer bar, be blown straight down, then towards the front of the aquarium where it would float up and be pulled back towards the sprayer bar.
I thought it was dead and wanted to take it out and cut its head off or something but I didn't. The next morning it was swimming around without any problems. That's one lucky fish.
THE SHNIBBULAR ONE, OOM
