R.I.P. Admiral Rufus Fish VIII

It had to happen sooner or later, and how fitting that it occurred within a few days of the implosion of Eliot Tower. I always used to say how Eliot will stand long after we're gone and the Admiral will outlive all of us, but sadly both of those predictions were dashed this week.

Last night the Admiral looked rather sluggish, although he's looked that way for the last month or so. I've had him for over a year, and who knows how long his previous owner had him, so I knew it was just a matter of time before he swam off for good.

The good news is that now we're off the hook for his exhorbitant contract that he signed for his role in Apartment 12: The Movie. The bad news is that, unbeknownst to my roommates, the Admiral was covering half of my rent and utilities, and now I'll have to pony up the full share. I'll also have to start doing my own laundry, cooking my own meals, and picking out my own clothes in the morning.
