Spider, man.



This morning I woke up, like I do nearly every morning. I sat down for a second to check email and then tossed my white t-shirt into the laundry basket as I was about to jump in the shower, like I do nearly every morning. As it was hanging over the edge of the basket, I noticed a dark spot on the tail end of the shirt (I know what you're thinking, and no, it's not that). There was a smashed spider on the tail end of the shirt. I thought maybe I had sat on it this morning as I checked my email when I first got up. So I grabbed a tissue to wipe it off and it was dry and encrusted on there as if it'd been like that for a few hours ore more. It was probably about to kill me in my sleep, and then I rolled over on it. Story of my life.

Comments:
Forgive my gullibility, but that picture isn't really of the spider, is it? Because if it is, I'll vow to never visit Arkansas. Good Lord.

I grew up dwelling in basements, so waking up with spiders is no surprise to me. It doesn't make it any less terrifying, though. I don't care how old you are, if you wake up to find anything crawling across you, there's a freak-out a' brewing.

On the bright side, it's good to finally see a new post here. I've been waiting over a month! I was all set to send a Blogger Collection Agency to your place to shake you down for a few posts.
 
No, you can tell it's not in Arkansas, because they're using the metric system like them backwards foreigners tend to do.

I can't believe it'd been over a month. Worse yet, the last post over a month ago was one basically apologizing for no posts. I wish funnier things were happening to me. Most of my blogging action has been over on the guitar making blog as that's what has been occupying my small brain lately.
 
I frequent the guitar making Blog, but I'm more of a lurker than anything there. It's certainly interesting and time consuming, I'll give you that. I'd link it on the ole' CDP, but I figured you wouldn't appreciate the high amounts of traffic the page would receive.

I noticed the metric ruler in the spider photo, but I just assumed that the spider was 80 inches long.
 
And that 80 converts to that spider being about 2032 inches long. This super spider will kill us all!

I'm an engineer.

I may resort to album and dvd recommendations if more funny stuff doesn't happen to me soon, which will be bad because I'm a really terrible review writer.
 
I'm a bad review writer, but they pay me anyways. Have you seen any of my stuff? It's awful.

The mixtape thing I'm doing is how you can tell things are a bit dry on my end as well. Soon, I'll be begging people to write to me asking for breakfast cereal advice.

"...So in conclusion, you should stick with the Sugar Puffs."

Hopefully, going to Toronto will give me some fodder for a few weeks.
 
I need to read some of your reviews. Is Core Weekly online, though? Seems like I checked and it looked like a local thing.

Yeah, a road trip is the best kind of blog fodder. Take lots of pics. I couldn't have started this blog without road trip pics from Comicon last year.
 
Speaking of spiders, I got bit by a brown recluse last week....at first it looked like a big mosquito bite and then it kept growing and had a red line coming out from it...I had to go on antibiotics...it's faded now so I guess I won't have to get a huge hunk of skin removed from my side...

Ouch. I hate getting bitten by things.
 
Core Weekly is a local (Madison, WI) A&E magazine. They're slowly working on getting everything up and online, so there's really no way you'd be able to see any of it yet. I don't even know why I asked.

If you're curious to see how their online progress is going, it's www.coreweekly.com.

Wow, A Brown Recluse bite. There's nothing I can say that will top that.
