Repellant Testing
Alright, here's pretty much the ultimate test for this bug repellant stuff I got from Shari: I'm going to go to an area where there are lots of mosquitoes and ants and whatnot, while wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals.
I've put some repellant on all of my exposed skin (don't forget the ears - seriously!) and anything near a clothing boundary that could become exposed through normal movement or by someone far more flexible than I.
If I survive to write the next post, the stuff works.

Thus far, it's seems to be working great. I appear to have missed a small part of my left elbow, however, which went from one bite when I left to... somewhere between three and ten.
I have the next two posts written, and I had meant to post them now, but I forgot to get the pictures off of my camera. No surprise there.

In other news, I now know what mosquitoes look like during sex. Until they broke apart, I was trying to figure out what has 12 legs, four sets of eyes, and wobbles back and forth without going anywhere.

I think the mosquitoes must have gotten you...
I hope you didn't get carried off by them after having witnessed their secret disco mating ritual.
Did you see the strange faces they made?
Four sets of eyes and 12 legs? You must have seen some seriously messed up 3-legged mosquitos....
I would have guessed the answer to your riddle to "lukewarm octopus balls." I am sure I saw eyes in your blog pictures.
Now that's some weird tasting goo-balls you got there!
Nah, for weird food found in Japan, check out live octopus tentacles.
Which I've not eaten, by the way. It's against my policy to eat things that are still moving on their own.
There is no way in hell or any other place that I would eat food that was still wiggling either!!! YIKES!!!
Being adventurous about food is one thing...eating squirming food is entirely another kettle of fish...yeah...literally.
