My favorite accessory of the week is this flyswatter which costs 88 pesos at the 88-peso Japanese store.

It’s a serviceable replacement for my riding crop, which I lost on my birthday in 2005. It probably fell out of my bag in a taxi. That riding crop in finely-tooled leather is sorely missed, so if any of you happened to pick up a little black whip in a taxi in 2005, that’s mine. Turn it over to claim a reward.

Meanwhile I have this flyswatter in faux leather with a hand at the end. It is useful for walloping creatures who encroach on my space, slapping the annoying from a distance and expressing general discontent, jousting with my cats—their favorite exercise, raising your hand when you’re in the back of the classroom, and actually swatting flies.
