humidity

i miss bugs.

it sounds weird, i know--who misses bugs? with their creepy-crawleriness and tendency to show up in undesirable places. truth be told, it's not their physical presence i miss nearly as much as their sound. katydid, cicada, grasshopper, whatever it is that "sings" at night (especially the frogs, who can be deafening in arkansas at this time of year) are eerily absent in the city. even lightning bugs are hard to come by.

humidity has really set in over the last few days, and i am feeling like there should be afternoon bugs to go along with it. the air is just too quiet. i am starting to miss arkansas.
