A follow-up to this post: in the end, the beetle wasn't dead! At some point last night, it fell from the desk and began crawling on the floor. It was obviously too difficult for it; it was going so slowly. Maybe it entered into a sort of hibernation status? Maybe it was a zombie? IDK

I took the beetle outside and left it under some bushes, and it began to rain afterwards. It rained most of the night, and this morning the beetle was nowhere to be found.

I do wonder where it went and if the rest of the insects out there are on the way of becoming zombies as I type this, but I also think some mysteries are best left unsolved. /silly

Also, this entry is so many kinds of awesome. *_*

There were this big flying ants at my house a while ago.

I took photographs of:
- a dead one I found on the floor: Photo 1 | Photo 2 | Photo 3 (I've no idea what happened to it, but I'm sure there's quite a story behind how it lost its wings.)
- a live one that was on the ceiling: Photo 1 | Photo 2 | Photo 3

The ants stopped showing up after that, but later, there was this insect I didn't recognize by my window. It was big-ish and it was trying to get out through the glass--not the first one to make that mistake, let me tell you. I took some pics of it before helping it by having it climb on the cover of a magazine. That was sorta difficult, because whenever the insect felt the magazine move, it climbed off, so I had to do it very slowly. Anyway, here they are:

A few days later, a dragonfly. A dragonfly. IN MY KITCHEN! It was so pretty. And easily over 15cm long. ;.;

On top of that, today I found another little fellow floating inside a bucket. A beetle, and it was already drowned, sadly.

It's... just... I live in the middle of the city. :/ IDEK

1) Every time I try to follow my dad's instructions to go somewhere, I end up driving in circles for half an hour. D| I should really just nod and then follow my own routes when/since he's not looking. I should have learned that by now. DD|
Also: three hours in line! WTH. Long lines were long and slow cashiers were slow and I nearly finished Steinbeck's book and made paper cranes with pamphlets in between chapters. I really dislike bureaucracy. :/

2) Since LJ is being slow like a slow thing, I'll put my commentary on Being Human 1x02 here.

Behind a cut this time because I want to be more specific. )
