"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

A friend of mine posted baby-cicada pictures. I was forced to "eeee" piteously at them.

I like insects, really. They're remarkable.

I was only 1 when the last locust summer came: it's only May, and already there are literally hundreds per every couple square feet. What June will hold, God only knows.

I've been eaten by mosquitos almost nonstop since July, 2002.

One thing that makes me want to move somewhere snowy: the bugs here.

Hey, somewhere snowy like Alaska? Because the mosquitos in Alaska will leave you a dried-up husk. If you want to avoid mosquitos, it has to basically be snowy year-round. The only real way is to go somewhere that never has standing water - like the Sahara.

Instead of towels, toilet paper and napkins here, we just use OFF! wipes for everything.
