I had to laugh

"Twilight: a young woman's journey as she chooses between bestiality and necrophilia"
-comment by BrianSierk on an article on some website I'm too lazy to link to.

Random time! :D

I saw this in a comment on an article comparing Bella from Twilight to Katniss from The Hunger Games and just had to post it somewhere. I almost posted it to Facebook, but didn't because it probably wouldn't go over too well.

But, yeah, I just really like this.

Lord of the Flies

The office where I work now is normally full of flies.

Huge, black/blue houseflies that keep bouncing off the window and skylight and make loud buzzing noises. They don't really bother me or my cousin (who I share the office with), as long as they stay on the window and don't dive-bomb my head, I'm fine.

Today, though, there were a lot of flies on the window, like 30 or so. So my cousin asked the janitor if she could spray them with something that would kill them. So the janitor comes back with some Raid and sprays the window.

And don't the flies go fucking nuts?

They started bouncing off the window and flying around the room and buzzing louder than ever. A few of them even started dive-bombing us and our desk. It was crazy.

And they were some fucking loud too, which is never good for my nerves. I was jumpy the whole time, I probably scared my cousin a bit.

The funniest part of the whole thing though, aside from having the floor littered with dead flies (I have no idea why I found that funny), was that when the flies would eventually hit the floor they'd try to get back up but they'd only end up spinning in circles 'cause only one side of their wings would be working. Funniest thing ever.

We got so many flies out of the office.

... of course, they'll probably all be replaced by tomorrow.

Road to Nowhere

I started my new job today at a lobster plant near home.

I have no complaints with the work itself, from what I saw today it's mostly going to be data entry and filing and stuff like that (things I've done before).

If I have one problem with this new job it's this: the building where I work is in the ass-crack of fucking nowhere.

It takes about 40 minutes to get to my work from my house and maybe the last 10 or 15 minutes of that drive is on a shitty paved road and then a shitty gravel road full of potholes. And turns everywhere! (this whole town was built on a fucking turn, I guarantee it... my kingdom for a straight stretch of road)

Driving wasn't too bad today, but when the weather starts to get really shitty, as the weather around here often does in the winter, I'm gonna start having some major problems on my drive (most of which stem from me being neurotic, but that's nothing new).

I cringe when I think about how that road's gonna be when it's covered with ice and/or snow. And I know that the snowplow probably won't be down that way too often since it's basically back roads. The paved road is in bad need of repair, and the gravel road just needs to be paved.

And the potholes, sweet fuck! There's hundreds of them, and there's almost no way to miss most of them because they're all over the road and camouflaged so you don't see them until you're practically driving through them.

My parents better take a good look at our van now, because I don't know what kind of shape it'll be in after I'm finished working for the season.
