Euprymna berryi is a species of bobtail squid, which are part of a group of cephalopods closely related to cuttlefish. Bobtail squid tend to have a rounder mantle than cuttlefish and have no cuttlebone. They have eight suckered arms and two tentacles and are generally quite small.

Bobtail squid have a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri), which inhabit a special light organ in the squid’s mantle. The bacteria are fed a sugar and amino acid solution by the squid and in return hide the squid’s silhouette when viewed from below by matching the amount of light hitting the top of the mantle.

I just started watching The Booth at the End—such a simple concept, production-wise, but, oh, what a psychological mind trip, with a significant emotional tie-in as well. Morality, religion, desperation, greed, plus the interwoven web of human interaction and possible external influence…This could keep my brain buzzing for quite a while.

The new season of Red vs Blue starts in three hours, and I find myself wondering whether it makes me a bad Tex fan that I am completely. effing. psyched. to see more of Agent Carolina in action.  It seems like there’s some sort of fan loyalty there, idk.
