job done
That's it. Farewell GWS, my work here is done. We've got a couple weeks of albumness before new job kicks in. Huzzah.
If you are here for horsefly bite information I figure I at least owe it to you to give you a little information concerning mine. From what I know the little blighters like to live near water as it is where they like to breed. Rather than jab you like a mosquito they will slash at you with two scissory-knivey type implements and then lap your blood. Where a mosquito may well miss pain receptors, with a horsefly bite they're likely to have hit a few.
As regards my own delightful encounter, here's what happened. Myself and the band were down at Bluewater discussing various aspects relating to the upcoming album (including the name, Please Intervene - fact, fans!) and we wandered down to one of their little lakes. I got a sharp pain in the fleshy part of my right hand below the thumb and I insticively slapped my left hand onto the insect. I assumed I'd made what I thought was a mosquito bite worse because I slapped it. It stung for the rest of that evening.
The area became swollen and for the next 2-3 weeks troubled me with itching and stinging pains.
I can confirm that I did, in fact, scratch the wound.
I still have a slight scar. And a hatred of horseflies.
So if ya have been bitten. Don't worry about it. I survived and you can too. In fact if you want to send me a link to a picture I'll put it up and we can all.. STOP. Just kidding. That's not gonna happen
I almost forgot to say.. The one poor quality photo that I have is here. In all its glory. If I'd have known what this would do to my webbernet standings I would have taken some better pictures.
Holy cow. I am boring. I'm sending myself to sleep.
And on that note..
Operation shuteye commences in t minus 5 minutes and counting.
Overandout.
