reproving Spontaneous Generation
we all know from 7th grade science class that the idea of spontaneous generation -- like trash turning into mice or rotting meat turning into maggots, was disproved in around the 1600s. duh. rotting meat doesn't turn into maggots - maggots lay their eggs in rotting meat and then the new maggots emerge from it.
but how, then, do you explain this, Francisco Redi?
ben is out of town at a wedding so he was not here to share this morning's experience with me.
there has been a singular fly buzzing around our apartment since thursday. last night, after seeing an AMAZING one-woman show (thank you marta!) called 'Wong Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest' (if you live in LA - go see it. it's friday through sunday nights this weekend through october 5th.) I got home, had some golden grahams, saw the fly buzzing, and went to bed.
this morning i walked into the kitchen and was greeted by a SWARM of flies. no joke it was a SWARM. they were on every surface in the kitchen, in the sink, on the stove, on the windows, one was even INSIDE my coffee pot, one was INSIDE the bag of 2 marzipans i bought last night (hooray leonidas for bringing back the marzipans!). everywhere. they were in the dining room, they were in the living room but mostly in the kitchen.
being a problem solver, i started spraying the whole house with some roach killer we had left over from our days on fairfax. but they just kept living. by the time i returned from rite-aid with some actual "flying insect" killer, about a third of them had succumbed to the roach juice. i doused the apartment in fly killer, went to change the laundry, and when i came back at least 3/4 of them were dead and twitching. after one more spraying, i am happy to say i have collected 39 dead black nasty fly corpses.
F you, flies! but where did you come from? will you be back?

a big event
even before we bought our apartment in may of 2006, there has been ongoing construction at the end of hayworth (our street). a parking lot that used to serve as overflow for the Director's Guild of America (the dga) is becoming a 4 or 5 story mixed-use building, retail on the bottom floor and loft-style apartments on top of that. we have not had a sidewalk on sunset blvd between our street and laurel (where the cpk and the gym is) since we moved in here. we've perilously walked in traffic risking our very lives for a neopolitan-style white pizza or an eyebrow wax by tommy at apple nail.
until this week! finally, the scaffolding is gone. the sidewalk has reopened, only better! there are planters and cobblestoney-type brick inlays. it's a whole new paradise.
i made good videos of this but am having trouble posting them. so instead, here are pics of handicapped chihuahuas who use little scooters to get around. try looking at this and not smiling.
