I mean, the gong breaks, the blades break, I’m surprised it managed to cut kirk without shattering on his rock hard pectorals.

And the internet is there for me, as always.

You know how old men wear their pants up so high that the belt rests in that crease between their manboobs and their belly? It’s not because these guys have gone senile and are forgetting how to clothe themselves. It was the style back in the 20s and 30s, when these guys were strapping young lads. I’ve always thought that it was a good looking cut and I honestly want a pair. Just putting it out there, in case anyone has any leads.

Ashia and I attended a black hole lecture the other day. Dr. Laura Ferrarese, the presenter, sported a sexy accent that made everything sound dirtier than it was. For instance I now know that, so far “warm holes” are just science fiction and the thirty meter telescope will have much greater “fuckyouse” and allow us to probe much deeper into space.

Honestly, it was a great intro to black holes. The neatest things I personally took away from it are these videos of the effects of the black hole at the centre of the milky way and the fact that I now realize merging galaxies look a lot like 69s.

I hand-drew this hologram of a 3D cube into some red-acrylic for my friend’s birthday with a little math and a lot of protractor scratches. Sorry about the sideways iPhone video.

(it’s a youtube video if you’re viewing this on facebook. Click View Original.)

So I did some research on that beetle. It’s a variety of Blister Beetle. I think Lytta Nuttalli seems to be the most likely candidate (due to it being in alberta). It looks more like Lytta vesicatoria to me (the european cousin), because it’s outer wings were yellowy red instead of Purpley, though the sticky-outy butt is wrong. The only other candidate that seems likely is Lytta stygica, but the body was pretty svelt, and from what I understand green blister beetles tend to be fatties. I’m no entomologist… so feel free to call me on it… But, that’s right, it’s the Famous Spanish Fly.

Apparently, regardless of the variety, they’re cram-packed full of Cantharidin (a.k.a. Spanish Fly.) So my bug model is lucky she didn’t piss it off, Lest she be covered in some nasty blisters and a powerful urge to hump me. Apparently these things have enough juice to kill a horse if they spend enough time chilling in his feed.

Anyway, I think I saw a dead one in my shoe… so if you find me dead with a huge…uhm… smile on my face. You’ll know i overdosed on pretty green bugs.
