Good and Bad Luck with Fish
So my S.A.E. passed away some time while I was at work today. I don't know what was wrong with him, since he didn't have any ick spots and the water temperature should have been well within his okay range. The fish store says there is nothing wrong with my water (nitrates are fine). They also suggested always salting my aquarium a little to promote fish health. I want to know why they didn't bother to tell me this before my fish got sick.
On a morbidly tangential note, I am now firmly convinced that Sushi Muramoto sells the best sushi I've ever had. They opened up in the new section of Hilldale a month or two ago. Alan and I have gone three times and every time the food has been excellent. I think the main thing we were noticing was the amazing quality and freshness of their seafood. The only one of their non-sushi dishes that we have tried so far is the miso soup, which is quite good (plenty of sea weed and tofu!).
I only really have two complaints about the place. The first is that it is designed to be a high ceilinged, hard walled space, so it is quite loud. This is not so much of a problem if you avoid the weekend rush or eat a little later or earlier. My second issue is more of a personal thing. For some reason their wait-person uniforms constantly make me think of safari clothes. Part of me expects that they are going back into the kitchen and killing my dinner with their own hands (after wrestling a pit of crocodiles to get to it). Considering the general clean, slick decor those uniforms just seem really out of place to me.
