Basra is so big
Category: pets
Basra has grown so much in the last month. The dark areas are new growth that haven't bleached yet. All of the new growth is perfectly flat. I wish he could stay outside all year.

At the same time I am ready for winter to freeze the fucking bugs out. I am tired of being covered in ants and spiders. I just face Basra a bath because he was totally coated in ants after eating the pears.

I am convinced that for some reason this year there have been a lot more spiders around. I have noticed massive spiders and their webs especially around Allentown. The kind of spiders that I usually only saw very close to the water by my dad's house.

Old
Category: body
I feel so car sick from a long ride in the hot car. The whole way here I kept thinking I can't wait to get in the air conditioned mall and walk around. Then I looked at the other people doing the same thing and realized I am getting old fast. Somehow heat makes me sick now. I never used to feel that way.

2 out of the 3 people in that picture are definitely younger than you. If they were happy to get out of the car as well, how does it prove that you are old? Its 26 deg C, if you didn't feel hot, I would say you were a reptile or getting *really* old and losing your temperature sensing abilities.

Ant of junkfood II
Category: bugs
Either these are bigger ants than the ones from the cheesy puffs or just fat ones from all the granola goodness.

I think they are called carpenter ants. I am not sure granola bars are junk food... What is junk food anyway? one that you can eat fast and on-the-go or one which gives you no other nutrients but calories (i.e is not balanced?)

they are different kind of ants. these also leave their heads in your skin if they decide to bite

When big cell phones were awesome
Category: mobile
I was a my parents house for (e:Mike)'s birthday and he brought out his first Nokia cell phone from 1999. This thing was huge and did just about nothing. What a world of difference. What will 10 more years bring.

I had that phone.....

I think the real reason they where that size is cause they wanted people to ease into them... Then make them small so they are easy to carry and lose....

my former advisor had one of these at home. it was fashionable a decade back to have these nokia. Now it just seems weird.

hehe, is that your cell phone or are you just happy to see me?
