The Wondering Jew

What the hell is this thing!? Actually, on second thoughts, I don’t want to know! Considering that this picture really belies the size of this thing (about the size of a stick of ginger, which is what I thought it was at first), and the fact that whatever it is, it lives in the garden, I think that under the circumstances, ignorance is bliss.

If you ask me, it’s probably some kind of advanced scout trooper from an insectile race of aliens, on their way to Earth to enslave all mankind. Either that, or it’s a hunter/killer supersoldier on a seek and destroy mission. Either way, the insectile race of impending alien overlords is clearly the most viable explanation for this hideous affront to my humanity. If you recognise it and want to let me and my curious readers know what it is, the ideal place to do so is in the comments. Don’t though. As I said, I don’t want to know! I’m sure there’s a more terrestrial explanation for this thing than my alien invader theory, but I fear the reality may be much, much worse. You can see a higher resolution image of this thing in the gallery by clicking on the image (but seriously, why would you want to!?). There’s also a couple of pictures of one of his pals, slightly smaller, but equally ugly. Probably some kind of insectile alien ninja, that’s only let me live this long to gain more insight into how to kill me more painfully.

In other news, I didn’t get the job I interviewed for. I don’t think I was convincing enough in my response when they told me they were worried I’d leave if something better came along. Still, it was my first interview and it’s slim pickings on the job market at the moment. So i’ll keep applying for jobs this week, but after that I might just give up looking for work and enjoy the summer. I’m thinking of taking a couple of two day trips over the next couple of weeks, one to the Blue Mountains this week, and then off to a surf school next week. Both look really fun, and are relatively cheap, with transport, accommodation and food included in the price. The surf school even has a pool party in the evening!

You know what? I’m not thinking about it anymore. I’m doing it. Stay posted for my report!
