bug bites

who remembers chimp mints? i know grace does. well my mom has taken to mailing me some sort of sweet thing every week since she thinks i'm having a nervous breakdown, and this week she sent me bug bites so here is a fun fact for everyone: the stink bug nymph. stink bugs can be recognized by their characteristic oval body shape and each antennae being comprised of five segments. this immature larval stage is considerably more colorful than the adult form which was almost entirely black. true bugs undergo a common form of incomplete metamorphosis with three life stages. the eggs hatches (their grammar mistake not mine!) into nymphs which grows ever closer to the adult form through a series of body molts.

gross. and way less fun than the stories about chimps that came with chimp mints. but that chocolate was really gross and this chocolate was really good.

global edition

what does everyone think about the nytimes.com having a global edition and a us edition? because i will personally say that it is just stressing me out because i can't decide which i should use.

at the booth tobins....

so yesterday i hung out with julie at the booth tobins where she is house sitting (hi jane!!!!) and we did lots of jane stuff. we did the crossword at the kitchen table, tried to walk ruby even though she wasn't having it, ran an errand to the home store to see anna, and also looked up twilight stuff on the internet. we discovered this. it's amazing. today i got back to new york and was feeling really bummed about school and missing minneapolis already and julie told me i would feel better if i posted this. and i do!
