July 10th, 2010Happy Summer!The weather has finally turned warm here and Quinn the cat has taken to napping in the curved window seat. Ants have been exploring my room with a will, though I have no idea what could possibly be motivating them. Unless it's just some kind of frontier dream of somewhere finding a huge jar of honey or dead cicadas I normally have open for the odd guest to dip their paw into. Speaking of honey, I returned home last night from a gig at my new favorite place to play (and eat!), Proper Eats, some soft piece of detritus lodged between the sole of my foot and my flipflop, and I tried to tumble it out again, and I thought maybe I had, but as I unlocked the door, I realized with real concern that I hadn't. What began as a sharp sensation blossomed into a full throbbing swearfest as I abandoned all other preoccupations to assess the acute pangs on the sole of my foot. Just a couple of strange brown bits like whiskers or something, but then I refocused to a little maimed bee on the floor and I put it all together. Two misfortunate souls there in the entryway, each derailed from the pleasantness of the evening. Vegetarian though I am I did feel it was only right to dispatch the small beast so it wouldn't have to experience the loss of its faculties for too long. It was a beautiful little creature..
