Life: Getting Back to Normal

You know, it wasn't popular to say so during the election, but I felt like the news media (mainstream, as well as bloggers) shamefully neglected something; namely, the squid and octopus demographic. Recently I have been pleased to see steps being taken to rectify the situation.

Last week, it was the über-adorable piglet squid.
This week the BBC has an article about the common ancestor, still living, of all of the world's deep-sea octopi.And I would just like to say to all of the squid and octopi who might be reading my blog, at that temple in Japan back in 1974? That was my sister who bought the "octopus on a stick", not me. I was a vegetarian. And I don't eat anything with tentacles or suction cups.
