Weekly Update (2.1.12): Ant Nest! And Other Minor Disasters

• Ant Nest!  So I was sitting on my floor reading a book when I noticed a line of teensy little ants.  This was suspicious.  I followed the line and found a whole pile of ant eggs, with dutiful little ant nannies tending to them.  Ew.  To the dismay of Buddhists everywhere, I sprayed them with a solid layer of bug spray, then reorganized the whole thing.  In the process, I...

• Crime and Punishment, even though it tricked me, was really good!  First half's a little wallow-y, because the guy is basically going crazy, but the end is exciting and interesting.  Score one for Russian literature.
  
• Three Products I'm Loving:  I brought these things back from Amurrica, and in the off-chance you're looking for a new energy bar, sunscreen or soap, I suggest these.  They're awesome!
