"Vitalberry"

This is a diatribe, but I am genuinely puzzled by this: I bought blueberries at the grocery store on Saturday since they were on sale and I am somewhat fond of them. However, upon closer inspection as I finish them off this morning, I've discovered that the little pint box says "vitalberry", with "blueberries/bleuets" underneath as a subscript. These are unusually tart blueberries, which is something I've enjoyed about them, so I'm now wondering if they might be some special kind of blueberry that is made to be tart or something. It could just be a marketing ploy. I will have to look it up. Edit: And just for the record, I mean that they're tart even after becoming ripe, not that they're unripe-tart!

Regrettably, my submission to Stone Telling was rejected; they were very nice and encouraging about future submissions to them, though, which was heartening.

D&D was pretty awesome last night. I'm behind on the summary thing, so I'll need to catch up at some point. It's just, when we could be playing Civ V, Danny and I tend to do something like that, or cook bread or something, you know, and then the summaries get put off and put off. It's hard to be as vigilant about it as I was with the Gwenn game, because it's so much easier to socialize and have fun in the current, smaller apartment.

Vitalberry's just a brand name for blue/black/raspberries grown by some company in chile apparently!
