man, i'm so dense

i finally figured out where the pervasive, unkillable odor of curry in my bedroom has been coming from. this has been driving me crazy for a couple of months now -- i couldn't for the life of me locate the source of the smell. it's not that it's a bad smell, it's just that i've been so mystified by the origins of it.

it's coming from the orchid on my dresser, which had very little detectable scent when i got it, but is now putting forth enough curry-aroma to pervade the room.

naturally, it had not occurred to me, while searching for the source of the mystery odor, to SMELL THE FLOWER THAT WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE.
