smells like something died

I was sitting in the middle of my room and I noticed a subtle odor wafting in the breeze. It smelled reminscent of B.O. Being a fellow well-versed in the timing of things, I decided this was nature’s subtle way of telling me to do my laundry. So I took all my laundry, washed it, and hung it out to dry.

I walk back into my room, sit down in the same spot and there it was again… that slightly nasty smell again. So I thought, maybe it has something to do with the plants sitting on my window sil. So I pick them up and sniff them, they smell a bit like fertilizer. So I took the plants and sat them on the floor.

I walked back to my original spot and sat down. It seemed alright, but every now and then I would catch that odor again. I sniffed outside my window, the air smelled clean (well, as clean as philly air gets anyway.) I couldn’t understand it. Where was this strange smell coming from?

So I stepped back and tried to look at this with new eyes. And there sitting near my window sill is this teapot. It’s actually a stainless steel teapot. I’m thinking, maybe this teapot? I open the lid and my nostil hairs practically curled. It’s like that one time the sewage pipe backed up into the house… Evidently, one should never put rice water (you know, the water that you normally pour out when cleaning the rice?) into a watering can (or in this case, a stainless steel teapot).

Moral of the story?

Amuse me reader, make one up.

    the moral of that rice water story is: let your nose lead the way. :sing:

  8. Yeah, I read some articles on boundless.org that I dont agree with as well. I do what I usually do, take it opimistically, but still cautious.

  9. I did, they said its biblically supported but like all things without accountability, take it with a grain of salt.

  10. Haha, I probably should rephrase that. And say they have verses supporting there views, and use it to support the message they are trying to get out to people.

  11. nothing, something my and my friend were talking about.
