not by choice, i've been working ten hour days this week. this morning bailey was all "so are you sure you don't want to go up to minneapolis next weekend?" huh? never really remember hearing about such a trip, but i jumped at the opportunity to 1. get a day off of work 2. to get the hell out of this town.

and being the college student that i am, i volunteered to work 12 hour days next week to try to compensate for my day off. am i dumb? i think i might be.

while riding my bike home tonight i was on the trail listening to a little brandi carlile (courtesy of bailey) and noticed an overwhelmingly large amount of fireflies. i think they're my favorite insect. particularly because they are never around during the day. so they're kind of secretive. i don't think i recall what one looks like. and basically, just because they add so much ambiance to any outdoor setting. i think it was that scene in the little mermaid when they were in the lagoon and fireflies were flying all around. fucking disney.

come to think of it-- didn't they invent black light paint or neon light bulbs because of fireflies? too cool.
