koi!

[rm]

Yesterday we went to the realyl eerie/beautiful/weird overgrown community garden in my neighborhood. Among other things, it has a koi pond. We watched the koi for a long time. Koi are weird. Sometimes they would jump out of the water, like doing tricks for crumbs we didn't have for them. One koi was all black, with just the slightest bit of _bright_ orange on it -- most of that orange was concentrated in the shape of a skull on its little koi head. We started calling it Death Eater Fish.

While we were there it rained. Also the Howl! Festival was going on, so sometimes people playing horns and other instruments in an Eastern European sort of way would run by in crazy costumes. It was lovely and surreal.
