them!

There was one last night, and three this morning... ants the size of raisins. They looked like fire ants but were gigantic - it was creepy. I've seen a lot of ants in almost three decades of living in the South, but I've never seen those before. It's enough to make me wonder if there was a nuclear accident and we will soon be running for our lives from Them! (One of my childhood favorites and incidentally one of the first and best nuclear monster/giant bug genre. I highly recommend watching it.)

I think the plants in the giant urns died due to lack of water while we were out of town. Completely my fault. I feel bad about it. I'm trying to figure out what I can plant there. Maybe some tiny rose bushes. It needs to be something that could grow tall. I am a terrible gardener, I am afraid.

Heeee.

A friend of mine is going to see a thing about another bug movie tonight.

Bug movies for the win! Bugs not so much.

That is one of my favorite film genres of all time.
