I feel like I'm in Jurassic Park. My screens aren't actually attached to the windows, so all manner of horrors creep in when the lights on. A beetle flew into my face twice until I decided to hit him with my guitar, then he stopped and rested on the wall. I can't just crush him. I noticed it looked like he was taking a shit on the wall and oh my god he's molting. Have you watched a beetle molt? Its horrible. Just pumping his new body out of his awful shell.

Then I got back to work modifying a poster I made for Steve's band Talk Modern (up now on matthewgiuffre.com) and I looked at a different part of the wall to notice a daddy long legs hanging out there. Then the shitty beetle fell off the wall and near my shoes so I said "keep away" and kicked them across the room where they landed next to another beetle.

Nothing beats the horror of a week or so ago. We were watching that awful horror movie and noticed this buzzing in the room. When the movie was over, on went the lights and there he was. Tim thought it was a "spider cricket" except that it had terrifyingly long antennae and MANDIBLES. Which it gnashed at us. We caught it in a cup and threw it into the yard.

I think the beetle died giving birth to itself.

Good night.
