I haven't written anything for a long time mainly because I've been really busy with some projects that are starting up. I'll write more in detail about each of them soon, but for now enjoy these pictures.

| This is only half of the camel spider I found in my room. I chopped it in half with a shovel but it turns out it was still alive at this point and shortly jumped up into my face. |
