Huge spiders do not cure insomnia

Things like that, up there, do not help with insomnia!

Things like that up there tend to freak you the hell out, when at 1 a.m. you finally decide you might be able to sleep.

Especially when said thing is SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BED.

Needless to say, I did not go to bed. Instead, I grabbed the nearest flip flop and beat the crap out of it, and disposed of the corpse down the toilet.

Then I let the brain worms take over.

In my head, it's brothers, sisters and friends now had me on their hit list. It's hard to think about sleep, when all you can imagine is waking up to find a million spiders all over you, wrapping you in their webs. Preparing you for their dinner.

I didn't go to bed. Instead, I stayed up til 4 a.m. watching True Blood on the DVR.

Would much rather watch hot men with fangs, than lay in bed worried about horrid, furry, evil things with fangs.

#*!&#&!!!! (censored for general viewing)

So, my family and I have opted out of having a computer at the house. (yes, I just heard the collective gasp of horror from all of you) Due to this, if we're not at work, I end up doing what I'm doing at this very moment - logging onto blogspot from my Palm Pre.

I got the brilliant idea that I would check for apps to be able to blog easier while I was at home. This would mean no more only being able to see half the screen as I type, no more limits to length, etc.

Anywho, I found an app - Blogbooster to be exact. It seemed I'd found exactly what I'd been lookinf for! An answer to being able to blog when insomnia strikes.

It promised easy publishing to 4 different blogging platforms, blogspot being one of them. It promised Autocontent - where the app would find pictures, links, and tags relevant to what I wrote. It was love at first sight!

I immediately bought and downloaded it.

It was amazing! Logged me into my blog, downloaded current content & posts from my blog. I wrote out a really good post. Tried the autocontent, and while some of the pics weren't exactly spot on (for example the man standing in front of an open casket - wtf??), for the most part it was amazing!

Then I made the mistake of hitting "Publish". It didn't work.

I waited an hour, tried again. Fail.

Waited 24 hours, tried again. Failed again.

I wrote the word "test". The damn thing uploaded.

Copied & pasted original failed post. AND IT FAILED AGAIN.

Tried contacting the developers. No answer back. Went to their facebook & twitter pages where they promised "instant support". The last posts were from 2 months ago...

I left messages anyway. Never heard back.

Opinion? Blogbooster sucks ass!!

And this is why, once again, I am logged directly onto blogspot and trying to make sure spelling & punctuation are ok, even though I can't see half the screen.

I must visit this candy store!!

I'm watching Extreme Sweets.

They are at the most awesome candy store.

It has chocolate covered crickets. It also has meal worm crusted caramel apples. And suckers with bugs in them.

It's like Willy Wonka of the weird and creepy.

I have now made an addition to the "Things I Must Do Before I Die" list.

I WILL see if they have an online sight, so that I an order these items and try them! Or torture Oldest and Youngest with. Ok, maybe it wouldn't torture youngest. He has been begging for more BBQ meal worms. Maybe Youngest inherited too much from me. Is it a bad thing when Youngest has favorite foods and one of them is BBQ meal worms?
