I have a new bug invasion in my house.

Now, most bug invasions are awful, like the various ant invasions I have had over the years here, or the winged ants I had in my bathroom last year, or the flies that make camp in this apartment every summer, or the roaches that I had when I lived in New York, or ew ew ew, the goddamn palmetto bugs that are big enough that one is an invasion.

This bug invasion, however, is kind of charming. I have a firefly invasion.

For the past two days, every time I look around, there's a blinking light flying around my house like Tinkerbell, and I have to catch it and put it outside. Then I come back, and there's another one! There may be only one, and it really really likes my living room.

There just really aren't that many bug invasions where your reaction when you see one isn't a shriek or a grimace, but a "Hi, sweetie! Time to go outside now!"

I never even saw a firefly until I was grown up, as they don't live in Los Angeles, so whenever I do see one, I think that I'm in Huckleberry Finn or something.

Today's horoscope:
Focusing only on performance leads to anxiety and feeling inadequate. Relax with the one you love, and good times are likely.

One year ago today:
Weather is big and men are small and weather doesn't care.
