Once Bitten...

Apparently I am one tasty meatball tonight, because the constant whir of the Lake Merritt mosquito has been my "sleeping" companion this evening. A tricky beast, this one has not taken my gentle hints to bugger off (e.g. swinging my arms wildly, slapping my arms and back) to heart, and I now boast at least 15 mosquito bites all over my arms and torso, including several quarter-sized welts on my back.

Dear 'skitos: Please to go away now. Do not want. Sod off, rissy

Dear benadryl: where are ye, my little antihistamine friend? xoxo, rissy

This is where you grab the flamethrower and bust out all Aliens-era Ellen Ripley.

Except for the fact that I think Mme. Resident Manager might take exception to the technique, that's a pretty tempting idea.
