Fruit Flies, Colorful Knickers and New Special Offer through October 25

There is a fly sitting on my left hand -- rather determinedly, actually -- and I think it's a non-native Drosophila. I wonder where it escaped from. It would probably be ecologically responsible to kill it, since it's a non-native, but I'm too tender-hearted. You know, we all talk about cockroaches being disgusting, but read up on flies sometime when you're not planning on eating for a while. As an order of species, Diptera are three times as icky as Blattaria.

In other news, M and I spent yesterday tie-dying our underwear. See, my dad was trying to learn to do it because he's having a tie-dye event at his middle school, so we (Mom, Dad, M, me and my brother A) all played with the dye. My hands look like they've been repeatedly slammed in doors (those puce and red dyes cling), but it was awesome.

Anyway. The point of this post was a special offer, wasn't it?

Finally, it is at last cold enough to wear my beret. This makes me happy.
