[White tailed spider (Lampona sp)] These little buggers are nasty! Mark and I found and destroyed one today. Not only do I say to spite all spider lovers but I also wanted an excuse to link to this picture :D
White tailed spiders are found in most areas of New Zealand, and are common in urban dwellings. They are readily identifiable by their cylindrical body shape and the presence of a white or grey spot on the end on their abdomen. They are active hunters, preying upon other types of spiders, and may be found roaming inside houses, especially in warmer weather. White tailed spiders have been implicated in some cases of Necrotising Arachnidism (skin breakdown or ulceration following spider bites). The incidence of ulceration or necrosis following white tailed spider bite is not known. The majority of cases appear not to develop ongoing ulceration, although blisters and redness are common.

Those of you who know me might remember when I was going through this period where my stomach was in constant pain and resultingly I was constantly on the toilet. This is about two years old. The news is I’m seeing the symptons all over again, last night and this morning I have been in a lot of pain. I really think it is the Tom Kha and spicy food I have been eating again as of late. This sux because I love spicy food!
There is a funny old saying; To crave what it is you fear the most is hell on earth. I dont feel that bad, but it did just remind me.

Amber brought it to my attention that my last post lacked any real substance, ok she didnt say substance but lot’s of relavant information. Shit she didnt say that either. In a nut shell she mentioned that I have missed out lots of the fab things that have been going on.
The first fab thing I want to mention is Ambers birthday dinner. It was wild! I had a fantastic time, infact my stomach was hurting by the end of the night due to all the laughter! We went to a little Italian joint on Willis Street - great food, good price, and good value for money. Around the table we had Peter, Leon, Maria, Fran, Andre, Amber, and myself. Ambers Dad said something about mariage - I liked it.
Gah - It’s 11:33pm so I’ll just write a quick list of fab things! Here we go; Dinner at Nicholinis with Amber, Kylie, Michi, Matt, and Clinton. Helping Dad with the bridge. Finding eels in the stream at Mum and Dads and touching them. Seeing Michi and Clint off at the airport. Playing with Ollie the new Family cat. Coffee. Hanging with Amber. Dinner etc with Glen and Christine. Receiving email from Christopher Trousdell in the UK. Dance Revolution. And of course Cheeko the monkey :D
Yesterday was cool. We went out to Mum and Dad’s and cranked up a fire, saw the start of Match Stick Men, then we saw The Fog of War - A good educational movie.
Today we went up into the bush and collected pine cones…. among other things. Hubba Hubba. Just kidding. I wish :)
Goodnight….

Ok, so the title was meant to be provocotive. This isnt really a post about sex, god forbid. I could get in some serious trouble these days talking about glorious sex. What with all inlaws, and parents, and partners frequenting MOM it’s dangerous times ;)
I just just fucking with ya. It’s all good.
I have been busy, as usaul, thus lack of serious posting. It is always hard finding time to do this stuff. Funny thing is when I do write I feel much better. They say that taking a moral inventory every known and again is good for the soul. It can put things in perspective - often it can prove to one that what is going on in their head isnt nescecarly always what is going on in reality.
I am not crazy. Serious. No, come on now. I’m not kidding anymore… Listen to me!!!
I have to go now. I have to meet Mum and Hannah. Hannah has made me a tin of bickies and I am going to pick them up.

Hello, my name is Baru, but Papa and Mama always call me Baruchito. Well, not always. They call me Baru when I do something bad (like biting Julita or making noise late at night). Have a look at my Home Page.
