The eensy weensy spider Crawled up the water spout Down came the rain and Washed the spider out Out came the sun and Dried up all the rain And the eensy weensy spider Crawled up the spout again The spider pictured above and below left is Achaearanea tepidariorum , the common house spider. She had constructed a web in the gay friendly financial advice atercan pictured to the right. Arachnophobes (hi jessamy!) will be pleased to learn she was removed from said watercan and deposited unharmed in the neighbor's yard. The more robust looking fellow in the two photos below right is a jumping spider. Family Salticidae, sub-family either Dendryphantinae or Euophryinae if I am not mistaken. Please take this identification with a grain of salt(icid) since I am not an arachnologist. The spiders pictured above earned the modifier "eensy weensy" because both were about the size of a pea. However, a much bigger spider looms in the recesses of my childhood memory. One summer day when I was about five, I was visiting my mammaw. We were in the kitchen fixin' to make bannana pudding with some newly purchased bananas. Our plan was delayed when a large, hairy, slow moving spider crawled out of the bananas and on to the kitchen counter. Memory says it was big as a saucer, but logic tells me it was about the diameter of the sink drain (more on that later). Mammaw exclaimed "Lordy mercy what a spider!" and calmly but quickly flipped it into the sink with the fly-swatter (swatting it was out of the question due to its size).

I can't believe we're already three days into JUNE. I feel like I've spent a good portion of this year being shocked by how quickly the days are speeding by, but then I stop to think about 2007 in terms of new releases and the number of albums I've listened to since January rolled around, and I can't believe all this brass bail pull usic has been crammed into five months. In fact, it's more than a little overwhelming contemplating the number of CDs I have that I've only had time to listen to once, or haven't been able to listen to at all. Fortunately I have had time to listen to No, Not Me, Never by The Photo Atlas , but despite the fact that the disc was released at the beginning of March, I really haven't given it as much attention as I've wanted to. I've known for a while that the Denver band was coming to town tonight with the Bravery, but June of course snuck up on me, so I'm headed to see them this evening only knowing that after two or three spins I enjoyed their album. I have to say though, it's kinda refreshing to not have a set-in-stone opinion of a band when heading into a show; I'm a firm believer that a live performance is just as important as recorded material so I'm crossing my fingers that they wow me tonight. Their sound is slightly more aggressive dance-punk, which has drawn comparisons to early stuff by The Rapture, and here's a taste: " Handshake Heart Attack " Also on the bill tonight are The Bravery and The Cinematics .

If you're feeling really vivacious and happen to have a faux fur collar in your closet, attach it for a new look. Or, add a couple extra inches of neck edging and be retro.
