Stuck in a Rut

spent the afternoon in the city. went to stern grove, a small park type thing that is in this big, uhh.. grove, that is a couple hundred feet below street level and surrounded by eucalyptus trees. a nice natural amphitheater type thing. there is an outdorr, open air stage there that is faced by several seats, benches, picnic tables, as well as nice grassy hill and beyond that a nice, dark, tree covered area even further up. all in all a nice place to lay out and watch a nice concert. for free. not bad. problem was, we got there an hour after the concert officially started and the "seating" areas were absolutely packed. i found a nice open area outside the official "amphitheater" that had planty of room, plenty of sun AND shade. but when my mom shows up, she has to sit in the theater area and squeezes all 5 of us in a spot infinitely smaller than the opne i had already settled into which had NO sun at all. w/e. the show was descent, the music was good. it was apropriately blues. since it was the last free concert of the season, the last day for me before school and just generally not good times. but hey, it was a freakin beautiful day.

about a half hour after geting home my brother alerts me of a big mosquito flying around that he lost. w/e. he then yells with excitement about how he found it. aperently, the mosquito... found a spider web. you see nathan, this is why i keep the spiders around. so the mosquito gets stuck, and the resident of the web is alerted and responds immediately by attacking the little bugger. it was great, like some sort of private national geographic experience. i checked back later to see that the mosquito had been nicely wrapped. go spiders.
