1. Last night I set some lamb chops on fire. They were good anyway.

2. I am attending a pro-striking writers rally on Tuesday. My friend who previously set me up with married guy, naked-woman-on-shirt guy, stood-me-up guy, negative-sexual-chemistry guy, never-called-me-guy, and guy who wanted to leap out of plane without a parachute (wait... could his name have been... something like "Heero?"), assures me that a fantastic single guy will be there. I think that even if one of those attributes is true, the other won't be. Also, don't know how I could possibly find him when there will be thousands of marchers and I don't know what he looks like.

I think I won't wear my corset.

Cut for insect.


This morning, a moment after I turned off the shower, a large flying ant suddenly landed on my hip.

Of course it did. At least you didn't get bit?

I assume at least one fantastic single guy will be at the event. I doubt it's the one your friend's talking about, though.

You mock my insectile pain!!!

Believe me, if it had bit, I would not have omitted that detail.

Re: rally: Perhaps I will wear what Scott Westerfeld calls "the Italian slut shirt." Though I worry that an insect might fly down my cleavage.

Maybe a little! Though my husband was laid flat for eight hours or so once when he was bit by an ant.

...yeah, this might not be the month for a cleavage shirt. The bugs clearly have your number.

I'm just going to note that although we got ten inches of snow yesterday and today a half mile walk to the grocery store (for milk) involved wading through hip-deep drifts in some places, Minnesota has far fewer insects and less interesting insect life generally than warmer places.

Which did not stop me from getting a pantry moth infestation once, but that just involved discovering dead larvae in my freshly-cooked bowl of ramen, not being attacked by a mass of flying moths. I really do think the climate may be a factor here.
