What's the buzz?/Tell me what's happening

(Title of this post is a shout out to Agent 99!)

The building shut off the AC for some reason. The heat isn't on either. Anyway, during the day, I decided to open my window for some refreshing natural air, and a bug must've chosen to pay me a visit, as I had a buzzing guest 'round my head last night while attempting to sleep. The critter showed me affection by biting me three times on my hands. Why? What have I done wrong in my past life to warrant this? It's fall and not summer too, so all biting insects need to die off. I don't know what the bug was, but I looked it up, and I think it's a midge? Entomology is not my strong suit. Maybe Parker can assist me insect identification. Black, bitty, biting, buzzing.

On an irrelevant note, I was typing up a homework assignment and misspelled a word. Microsoft Word suggested I meant to type "peen" which sounds rather vulgar. I looked it up at dictionary.com and found out it is the opposite end of the hammer from the end you use to get nails into things. I guess you learn something new every day.
