Cicada Invasion 2007

When it rains, it fucking pours.


Not only have I been battling a hellacious cold for the past few days, but I also have to do it in the midst of Mother Nature's most disgusting past-time: the 17 year reunion of the Midwestern cicadas.



While these little buggers usually wouldn't bother me, the very thought of MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of them flying around really makes my stomach turn. I can remember back in 1990 when these fuckers came out of the ground (which, in its own right, is an extremely creepy way to come back to the surface) and wreaked havoc on young trees and smaller insects everywhere. Seventeen years later I decide to move to a condo across the street from a forest preserve and now work in an office surrounded by 20 acres of trees.

Anyone that knows me can testify that I am a huge fan of horror films. However, if everything that the experts say is true, we are all in for one hell of an invasion.
