This is made from two pictures of a bug zapper non/happening that, by still chance, I had witnessed when camping with video-games and air-conditioning during a few rainy weekdays.
Zoomed in on this Dobson Fly, you can see the bug zapper in the background. needless to say she did not survive.

There are many bug zappers in Liuzhou, so it is very difficult to take photos of night-flying insects here.
OK, so this is what my sketches of Zucco REALLY look like before I bring it into Adobe Illustrator to do my thing. Did this off an iPad with Sketchbook Pro. Still getting used to drawing with my fingers. It's a quickie based on a friend's facebook status.
... is sitting here listening to my new mosquito zapper go "buzz!" every couple of seconds. Die bugs die!!! mwahhahahaha
Somehow an image of Zucco with a taser popped in my head. Posting this because I'm positive it will be a while before I come back to this sketch to get it to look more finished and by then, the moment will have passed for me to share.
Hope you like it Lili because I liked your status ;)
Hmmm, now I wonder if I should add facebook statuses to my source of inspiration for Zucco illos.

"Victory for Mankind"
I'm not saying that the electric fly swatter is the greatest thing since sliced bread.......but I've never witnessed a piece of bread kill and cook a fly at the same time. We shall let history decide. We have occasional periods of massive fly infestations, and we still don't understand why. I have carnivorous plants, we've used fly paper, spray, fly bags, I've fixed the screen, I've taped every hole to the outside world....but the flies continue to invade our home. So, I just discovered the electric fly swatter, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it has changed my life. Ironically, there is not a single fly in the house, but I'm sure that will change in the near future. I should certainly digress. The lighting was accomplished with three strobes. I used my trusty Light Blaster to project an image of a bull's eye target on the white seamless background. Next, I positioned a speedlight with a purple gel behind and beneath the swatter. It is the complementary color to the foul yellow color of the swatter, so I thought they would work nicely together. Lastly, I tightly snooted a speedlight to light just the company's name. Very lastly, heed the warning on the tag....this is NOT a toy. Assuming the device used just enough zapping power to down a housefly, I had to play the role of human guinea pig and test it for myself. Have you ever smelled the odor of burning human flesh? Ok, it did not hit that hard.........but it hurt. Please be warned. Thanks for buzzing by!!

A bug zapper in a restaurant in Marfa, Texas. Strange to see this right after the Dan Flavin installation.
Not a great picture, but the story is something else! 5 or 6 evenings ago I noticed a toad on my back porch. Glad to see it, they eat a lot of bugs. Then Saturday night when I took the dog out for her last "business " before bed I saw a toad hopping up to the back porch steps. By the time dog and I came back in, toad was up on the porch , tucked in between the wall and a tub of bird seed that sits next to the door, under the porch light. Sunday night toad was back in the same spot. That is when I took the picture. Toad was there again Monday night and again tonight (Tuesday). It is gone by morning. I am leaving the porch light on now. It's a low energy, low wattage bulb so don't mind the pennies it costs to run all night for Friend Toad. What I'm hoping to see is it hopping up the stairs! Only 4 of them, but still a lot bigger than the toad.
The kids on the left were watching insects get anihilated by the electric bug zapper on the top right. Choon How noticed the three-a-minute "traat" sound too.
An artistic shot from on the Gonzaga campus late at night. This is
behind the Ad building, and the shadow attracted me like a moth to a
bugzapper...

The electrified bug-zapper tennis racket delivers a pretty good jolt, but, usually not enough to kill a bee of this size (bumble bee sized). For these bad girls, I have to rely on brute force.
I love animals...^+^
Just when I thought I had it all sorted out ...
Almost later in the same day after my last post, we broke up.
Turned out that he was unhappy that I decided to stop taking those magic pills. A decision I made simply so that I can, for once prove to myself that I can be loved.
He had briefly mentioned it in the morning before I had set out to the dentist. He said that I should not endanger my health by not taking those pills.
For those in the know, my body doesn't produce hormones naturally. I have to take them daily, in tablet form lest I resort to the sort of character I was many, many years ago. I become somewhat of a baser version of myself. With the mentality of a brick to boot.
Those wonderful pills make me feel like a woman. With them, I tend to experience not only the physical advantages in terms of the five senses, but also the emotional ones as well. The latter being the need to feel protected, wanted or even, desired. Most of all, the desire to be loved. This is something I have never truly experienced.
I had told him that I had started to feel different. I couldn't explain how as he had no experience in such matters and I also told him that its the only way I can cope if I was to be with him. It was a sacrifice on my part for the guarantee of a trouble-free girlfriend who would have no desires or wants of her own.
You see dear moonbeams, this guy doesn't believe in flowers, kisses, or the need to be touched. And I can definitely forget about sex. That would be a no-no.
It was true sometime ago when I said that 'Nefertiti's' gates were hard to pass through. But I had been experimenting and practicing ways in which I could make that passage easier. He didn't even want to know. I even don't remember if he'd ever seen it.
I must admit though, I had been difficult to live with. What with my childish wrestles, biting and play-fights at impromptu moments. I'd still like to think that I gave it my best.
The conversations that happened when I got back didn't help either. Rather than talk it through with me, he went off to a pub with another woman, leaving me at a loss as to how best to cope with the horrendous situation I felt my mind was in.
You see folks, I have been single for a long, long time. I have tried almost everything to change that status only to be told that its because of the 'way that I am' that I was undesirable. Apparently what I count as a 'relationship' is not the same as whats in everyone else's head. Couples don't give flowers, kiss or cuddle. They don't even have sex. And to stop myself from yearning these things, I stopped the one thing that makes me feel like a woman. Those 100 micrograms that define my everyday experience.
I cried for a long time while lying with my face half buried in the latest issue of Superman Legends. I had no idea what to do except for one thing.
To run. Leave the place. Forget about even working with the guy. He had finally made me feel worthless. Even more so than my folks ever did. And so I packed. Packed everything I could think of that belonged to me.
Then I noticed something.
His computer was still logged on. And with the miracle of him having failed to log off a shared social networking site, I did the unthinkable.
I decided to peep at his inbox.
I didn't want to pry. I certainly didn't want to spend the whole evening reading his mails. Remnants of estrogen-powered intuition just told me to look at his last entry.
It was to a much older, larger woman. Telling her that if she was keen, he would start something going with her.
I felt sick. It dawned on me that despite his allegations of a low libido and anti-androgenic drugs (for I have not seen evidence of any), he was saving himself for someone better.
I felt angry. I tried to visualise the good times we spent together but that mail simply destroyed whatever remained of myself inside.
With that, I flushed whatever remained of those pills down the toilet and reached for a second set of pills. The set of pills that, at one time, made me so much happier in a different way. Heck, I simply didn't want to be myself anymore.
And with that, I drank little sweetened soy milk. Laxatives can leave the occassional bad taste in your mouth you see.
One of IT World's "19 Weird but Real Gadgets and Gizmos", the Bug Zapper is an electrified tennis racket (metal mesh and a few batteries in the handle) used for taking out mosquitoes. They were commonplace in Bangalore and the last one I purchased for just under four US dollars.
Not the place to go for a little romantic evening unless you would like a little crack also. Seriously, very sketchy looking place.

Special Moments Camera
Oh Man!
I was so excited to use my $1 Special moments camera with expired Brooks Pharmacy film, that I brought my finished film to Brooks (or Rite Aid now), to get the ultimate crappy processing possible.
Not only did I get that, they cut not 1, but FIVE of my negatives in half! Bitches! And the negs that they cut were of Lottie!
So, perhaps tomorrow, i can scan them in & re-piece the sad remains...
I'm FURIOUS!
So they gave me my order free-big f-ing deal!
Never again
