My parents went to a Korean supermarket a few days ago and bought this.

Yep, those are (supposedly edible) unborn bugs.

They asked if I wanted to try some.

I passed on the offer.

Today, I bring you unfortunate news. It snowed yesterday.

Yes, this is in fact my 22nd year being exposed to snow, and seeing as I’ve lived in Chicagoland and the surrounding areas my entire life, most people assume that I’ve gotten used to snow by now.

Sure, I’ve gotten used to it, but no, I still don’t like it.

I went to my university campus yesterday to attend class. My parking space is over a mile away from the main campus, so I generally take a bus to avoid walking. Normally, there’s at most about ten people riding the bus at the same time. Yesterday, I’m guessing there were about 80 – all the seats were filled, and the aisle was completely packed with people standing.

I took a photo for those of you who actually like snow, or live in areas where it never snows. That way, you can enjoy the photo and pretend like you’re here with me, while I’m busy sitting in the corner being miserable.

First snowfall of winter 2013

Also, lol @ that Slowpoke tree near the center of the photo who hasn’t heard yet that it’s winter already, and is still in fall dropping leaves

Balding trees

So apparently one of my neighbors’ trees decided today would be a great day to just randomly drop half its leaves onto the ground at the same time.

What if people’s hair balded like that, where half the hairs just randomly fell out overnight?

… That would be pretty traumatizing

If you ever become an elevator manufacturer, take this photo as an example of how not to organize the buttons.

Somebody almost hit the alarm button instead of the door close button.

Don’t know who, but somebody.

Okay it was me, but that’s not the point.

A grandfather battery for a grandfather clock

I have another photo I found while scrolling through my camera, this one also from about a month or so back.

My dad found an old mini grandfather clock that we hadn’t used for years. I opened up the back to see if there was a battery inside, and there actually was.

Seems like I found a grandfather battery inside the grandfather clock (assuming that ten years of age for a battery is enough to classify it as elderly).

Bright sunlight, black clouds

While scrolling through some old photos on my camera, I came across this strange one I remember taking back in September.

It was a really bright and sunny day, but the sky was covered in a massive black cloud.

I’m pretty sure I was going to mow the lawn that day, but ended up deciding against it because I thought it was going to randomly rain.

As you should expect with my luck, it didn’t rain.
