Dueling Insects And Employment. Yes, They're Totally Related.
Today, my brother KopakaKurahk and I were walking up and down a nearby cul-de-sac and, while he was observing some lovely Virginia creeper and poison ivy decorating a peaceful evergreen, I noticed, with the help of my insect nerdiness, a spider that I originally thought was sitting within its web waiting for prey. Turns out, the spider had already obtained its evening meal: a small, black wasp that was no longer than a centimeter. Oh, the little stinging terror tried and tried to escape its inevitable fate of being a tasty liquified meal, but to no avail. The spider had latched on to the back of its thorax and was biting hard, not letting go despite the wasps squirming and attempts of stinging.
For an amateur entomology enthusiast who despises most wasps, the feeling I obtained from this scene was true bliss.
For those of you out there who don't care for my insect ranting (a.k.a., if your username is not Atako ) I have another news update on the life of this Bionicle-obsessed college student. The Toa of Electricity has achieved a new first: I have a real job now! *cue the dramatic chipmunk*
It's not bad. It's not thrilling either, but what part-time job is? Well, I can think of one, and it's a job one of my friends has at his college (and it totally involves insect studies ). I currently reside in a mail room mainly sending out t-shirts. I keep that job until they're all sent out, then I need to find another place to work. But, still, that's not too bad.
Wow, I haven't had this long a blog entry in quite some time. Whee! 8D
