Bob Mould, Cemeteries and BEES!

Note: All pictures mentioned below are not up yet... I need to sleep, so stay tuned!

I took the day off yesterday so Me and Ron could go see Bob Mould at The Paradise last night. It was an awesome show... he had a full band backing him up including Brendan Canty, the drummer from Fugazi. They played songs from all over Bob's long career and he actually seemed to be having a good time as he played. I shot a bunch of pictures which I will post as soon as I can. I tried not to use flash though because that just gets annoying to have that going off in peoples faces all night, so the pictures are rather blurry, but blurry to good effect. (Pictures are up! They are HERE!)

I also spent the last of my birthday gift certificates at Paper Source yesterday.... now to stop buying supplies and start using the stuff I have! Gotta go make stuff! Weeee!!!!!

I stopped at the little church cemetery across the street from Paper Source and took some pictures there, then I found a really cool, textbook creepy cemetery in South Natick, just off of Route 16, behind Eliot Church. I almost pissed off a whole lot of bees there... there was a hole in the ground I did not see and I almost stepped right on it. It was an underground bees nest of some sort. (What kind of bee makes a nest in the ground? hornets?)

There I was, taking pictures... not looking where I was stepping and I feel a slight whoosh of air next to me. When I looked to my left there were 5-6 big giant bees flying in and out of the hole... I decided that the stone I was looking at wasn't worth the potential pain and I have no idea if I am allergic to bees or not. I didn't stick around to find out! I was wearing a big baggy t-shirt and I almost totally freaked. It was all I could do not to start screeching and flailing off my clothes just in case there was a bee in my shirt. I very calmly shook my shirt and slowly walked away.

*shudders*



Beeeeees..............

Good job staying calm! I'd have freaked. My grandpa stepped in one of those bee-nests in the ground. He took an hour to walk 1 foot away, staying totally still and calm and just moving at less than a snails pace - no bee stings. Me, I'd run and run and run, untill I was probably stung to death by the killer bees - but just think, how cool would the headlines be in the paper the next day.

Yellowjackets make nests in the ground.

I hate bees. I had a bad bee experience, once. Maybe I'll put it on my blog.

It's been six or eight years, and I can manage not to run in terror when one comes near me!
