So I went into the bathroom to blow my nose, cos that's where the tissues are, you see, and there's a spider on the mirror. It's not huge, not tiny either, but it's the most peculiar shade of white-ish yellow. Or yellow-ish white, depending on your vantage point and taste in colors.

Now I already have a tissue in my hand, so my natural reaction is to smack the sucker with it. Well, smack it with my hand covered by the tissue, as throwing a tissue ain't gonna do much good, unless I can get it up to, say, mach 1. And I haven't been able to do that since college.

So I smack the thing, but when I look at the tissue, it's not there. I thought I saw it drop just as I went to squish it, and apparently it escaped somehow. But here's the weird thing: It completely disappeared... I scanned the whole bathroom counter, moved all my stuff, looked everywhere it could have gone.

Then it hit me: The spider was the exact same color as my bathroom counter. That's right: Spiders are evolving camoflage IN MY BATHROOM.

Needless to say, I'm a little freaked out.
