[061] Monsters also weep

[merridia]

So my three days off (starting tomorrow) has magically evaporated into one day off (only tomorrow), but more hours = more money = can't very well turn it down, so. Guess I will have to make the most of it!

The weather is driving me up the wall, because spring makes it go absolutely schizophrenic here. Bitterly cold mornings with blankets of snow, super warm afternoons where everything melts until it's fucking Waterworld up in here, and constant damn sunlight (Snow blindness: IT'S A REAL THING). Can't wait for it to mellow out a bit into something constant.

So, yeah. That's about the long and short of me, lately. Gripping, I'm sure. Finally emptied my inbox after another days-long stretch of failing at RP in spite of my love for my current roster, so tonight is going to be about tagging into new things so I can get excited again and make reqs so I can get this one app off of my mind which it has been eating.

Emergency addendum: Don't google wetas.

YOU WERE WARNED ;_______;

The real reason that NZ doesn't have Australia's wide array of poionous and deadly wildlife is that they're all too scared of the wetas.

(Which aren't really poisonous or deadly or anything. Just terrifying.)

SCREW YOU AND YOUR ISLAND GIGANTISM FOREVER

WHY DOES EVERYTHING THERE LOOK LIKE IT SHOULDN'T EXIST IN REAL LIFE?

HOW HAS EVOLUTION LET A THING THAT ADORABLY DORPY SURVIVE?

[effseedee]

Tiny island, less predators. It's just giant bugs and adorkable birds all the way down!

New Zealand’s Department of Conservation considers that 16 of the 70 species of weta are now at risk. Programmes to prevent extinctions have been implemented since the 1970s.
