I can't wait to move out of this place.

I was in the bathroom yesterday when I noticed that the crack between the wall and the floor appeared to be...moving.

"WTF?" I thought, as I bent over to get a closer look. All of a sudden, like a volcanic eruption, a HUGE mass of ants exploded from the crack. And not your common small ant variety. The mean, black, half-inch long, hard-to-kill variety.

Me: (stomping madly) "IIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Hellfang: (sniffing madly) .....friendssssss......
Danger Kitty: (looking scarily like a chicken who found a bunch of grasshoppers to feed on)......PROTEIN!

Me: (stomping madly while knocking off ants that have climbed up my legs) IEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I honestly wish that I was stretching the truth here for drama's sake, but alas, I am not.


Now, I knew that the place had a few ants in the bathroom when I moved in. Nothing to write home about; a few stomps, some spray (and some help from the house centipedes who come out at night) and all was right with the world. But apparently there's a whole COLONY of these fuckers living in the baseboards who have just woken up from their nice winter hibernation, and have come out to play and make my life here a living hell. They seem to be immune to spray, traps, and anything else I can toss their way, which makes a good couple of stomps the only sure-fire way of getting rid of them. And then their comrades grab the dead ones and drag them around to do God knows what to them. WTF is UP with that? It makes me feel guilty, like I've smashed someone's Mommy or something. Maybe their best friend. The cat is running around like Christmas came early, while the stupid dog is content to stick his nose really close to them and go "grrrrr..." If anyone has any ideas of a sure-fire way of getting rid of them that doesn't involve me, Ronin, Kupo and the pets moving into a hotel for a complete fumiga†ion, please email me at helpiminabratedmovieandabouttomeeaten@dieausslander.net. Or just use my email address in the menu above.

Note to people who are currently apartment hunting who fall in love with a place, only to see "a few ants" in the kitchen or bathroom: Unless you are planning to have the place completely fumigated BEFORE you move in, JUST SAY NO. Don't be like me. I was too busy searching for mouse and roach droppings that I let the ants go right over my head. And now I am suffering.

On the other hand, this could be a definite lease-breaker on my end. I did NOT sign up to live in a giant version of an ant farm.

Damn! Was I the only moron that went to the video store on Tuesday to rent a copy of Kill Bill, only to be told that it would be available NEXT WEEK?

God, I hope not.

Yay, I didn't get sick, thank goodness, and Ronin is all better now. I guess he had 24 hour flu or something like that.

Accidently broke a pair of Kupo's glasses and had to superglue them. If you've ever used Superglue before, you know the hell I went through. I'm still pulling that crap from my fingers,and I ended up using model glue for them becuase it seems that Superglue bonds to nothing except skin.

I went for a walk today to pick up some snacks for Kupo's class party tomorrow, and stopped to look at this apartment that I've been drooling at since I've moved over here. There was a guy outside washing his SUV, so I asked him were there any openings there for late June. Turns out there is, and for just a hundred bucks more than what we're paying now. A whole freaking floor. With a view of downtown thru the kitchen window to die for that's even better than what I have now. Open-floor plan. Some exposed brick. Bigger bedrooms, and nooks and crannies to install computers in. Big-ass bathroom. Room for furry children to romp and play. It was beautiful. Danger Kitty is going to lose her damn mind, because it's right across the street from a park!

Apparently the guy that lives there now hasn't paid rent in over a YEAR (WTF!) and the landlady is nice, but not that damn nice. The SUV guy introduced me to his lover and their child (which was cute as a button) and their apartment is maddening because they have a duplex on the third and fourth floor that is full of plants and is almost as divine as they are. They said they are going to put in a good word for me, and gave me the landlady's info, because besides the guy downstairs being a deadbeat, he's also a crackhead that's borrowed money off them one time too many and they can't wait for his ass to get ghost. His loss, my gain! *happy sigh*

Man, if I don't get this apartment...I'd just....I'd just....SHITTTTT!!!!!

Poor Ronin. He came in early from work yesterday, sick as a dog, and went right to bed after a bout of throwing up that would have put the Exorcist to shame. I made some soup, and Kupo gave him a Sprite, but he was having none of it. Poor thing.

*looks sheepish* Would it be a horribly mean thing to say "Damn! Hope I don't catch that shit!"

Probably.

Maybe.

But it's true.

Now today he feels better, but I feel a gurgling in my stomach...would serve me right for thinking such selfish things.

Happy Fools day, everyone!

New layout, new outlook. Dropped some links, added others from sites that I go to a lot. I figure if someone doesn't want to me to link them they'll just send me an email saying so. Until then, I'm not going to worry about it.

Hate Greymatter sometimes. Why are the dates gray? *stabs*

Happy Birthday, Halo!

Lurks:
Lumi,
Actionscripting.org,
IRC channels of friends.
Applause: Lots of things, but being yourself no matter what, good design, anime, good books, videogames, foreign films, relaxing, and water are at the top. Now for those of you who find this list boring, bear in mind I could have said I liked sunrises and walks on the beach.
Tomatoes: Too many to mention, but arrogance, judgemental people and those who just don't give a damn rate high on the list. Have you noticed how some can dish it out, but get pissed off if someone treated them the same way they treat others?
Layout whorage bought to you by: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. I LOVED this movie, so much better than the first one IMO. This is partly a screencap of the beginning of the DVD mixed in with some menacing trees and other refinements. Ah, the miracle and wonders of Photoshop, but anyways, I figured that it would be fitting, since an archive is a graveyard of sorts.
