Melbourne. :P
The Tullamarine airport, this time... no sudden hour-long shuttle bus trips for me!

We should all play some more lasertag, hehe.

Spider's not all that bad to eat. I've never had it myself, but I hear that if you scrape off all the urticating hairs, and barbecue it, it's not that bad.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5oM3NCf05M

You tie them up and roast them.
Yep. Fire burns up the hairs.

If you eat an undercooked one, though, you'll fall ill. As in vomiting-and-diarrhoea ill.
Yet another reason I hate the rumor that people eat spiders in their sleep. -_-

Those are Goliath Bird-eaters in that video, though. So don't worry.

It's probably a smaller spider that scuttles across your sleeping body in to your mouth while you sleep.

I remember the time that my father ate a daddy-long-legs/cellar spider/pholcidae to prove that they weren't incredibly dangerous to my siblings when they were maybe 6 and 9. He mentioned that his mouth was very slightly numbed, but it wasn't bad. I just thought it was funny.

Yeah, he fried it in a little bit of oil. Said it didn't really have a taste, not enough anything there :P

Blustery day in California. Blustery enough, in fact, that I seriously began fearing for my safety until I could get back to base and drop off the empty trailer I was hauling. When you've got what is essentially a 715 square-foot sail behind you, crossbreezes are not nice at all.

My arms still ache from holding the wheel steady ;__;

Huge thunderstorm in the middle of the night with giant skycracking nuclear explosions of lightning that sound like they're striking juuuust right next door but not actually destroying anything. Also lotsa rain.

The power went out for a couple seconds at one point and I was literally plunged into total blackness. I couldn't see anything at all and couldn't do anything about it. Unnerved me enough so that I closed my eyes and waited for power to come back. Spoiler alert, I still couldn't see anything with my eyes closed.

Feeling completely powerless is not fun.

I have to do 101 hours of community service before January 13th. I barely have a fifty days. That's two hours a day, plus my full time job, classes, meetings with counselors/P.O. and urinary analysis nearly every other day. Plus two days of court.

You've still got a buncha' senses :( Touch and hearing are both pretty good when you're suddenly blind. Or intentionally blind. I do eyes-closed/lights-off navigation of my living space occasionally, just for the fun of it. It's always an interesting experience, going without a sense or two for a period of time.

Also, giving it a minute or two (forget the exact time threshold) lets your eyes adjust. It's usually not as dark as you think it is, when it first goes black. Human eyes are pretty light sensitive. It's mostly just a matter of actually paying attention to what your senses are telling you.

Eesh. Good luck, man. You at least got venues for it lined up? Or do you not get to choose?
