Let me tell you about the birds and the bees...

So last week it was the 3in long double ended mating cockroaches the ran in front of my car as I pulled into the driveway (unfortunately I missed running over them so they escaped). Tonight it's the double-layered mating spiders on the wall next to my computer.

I know it's that time of the year, but seriously can't they do the nasty somewhere I don't see it?

the eagle has landed...

So I'm now in NY sitting in my friend Sara's flat admiring my seriously adorable honorary niece. We had stir-fry for dinner and it was delish, and now I am going to crash like the dead and tomorrow we are off to check out the Natural History Museum.
