Cicada invasion

[rorqual]

Am I hallucinating, or are they getting louder? They're getting louder, I'm sure of it. And Cicada Invasion is a great band name.

Also - there are no cicadas at work. Lots of open ground, a decent amount of trees and general shrubbery. No cicadas. I imagine they are all poisoned here, under the ground. Very sad.

Also - The Day After Tomorrow!! I don't care if the science is good. I don't care if the movie is good. All I want is to see New York get hit by a giant wave! On the big screen! Stupid name for a disaster movie, though. Why not just call it A Movie Where Big Cities Get Royally Messed Up By Weather? That's what we're all here to see.

Also - I have a lovely lunch planned. Ham and cheese sarnie and rock-hard homemade cupcake. Some of you care; you know who you are....

There aren't as many of them on campus as one might expect. Someone at work made an interesting point about this- so much of the ground here has been torn up at some point in the last few years that any buried cicadas on, say, the quads, wouldn't have made it to year seventeen. 'Course, there are lots and lots in places like the President's Garden that haven't been disturbed much.

And every morning I walk by Wyman Park, which seems to have hardly any cicadas at all. One wonders.
