Under Attack

Today was almost 40 degrees celcius today in Rio. For those of you not down with the metric system that's the equivalent of august in New York City.
My house is right next to the rainforest here, and one of the nicest parts about it is the diverse local flora and fauna. The monkeys that inhabit the trees outside our office are a nonstop source of fun and distraction.
Tonight, however, the hidden wrath of mother nature was unleashed in full. As I write this I'm being bitten in about five different places on my body at once. Our fluorescent lamps, as well as our monitors, are coated with bugs.
Ouch. There's another one.
