You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So while we're vaguely on the topic of creepy crawlies...

I watched the last ep of Life in the Undergrowth today. And caught an ep of Buggin' with Ruud on Madagascar's insects. With added lemurs and chameleons. They've found a species of ant there that feeds on its own young. While carrying the larvae around, the ants will scratch them until they bleed and drink the fluid. (They're called Dracula ants.) It's all very cool.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Anybody got any home remedies for flying termites?

Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Aimée, I'm sorry.

we had our first mouse sighting here at work

My roommate is convinced that there's a mouse in her room. She never saw it, of course. Our apartment is on the 7th floor. She polished and shined the room for Passover and found no mouse, and still, she's convinced.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Ooh, also on the topic of mice, in my apartment (the previous one), my room had a large hole in the ceiling (water damage from a leaky roof, but they couldn't fix it for almost three weeks because the roof was icy and frozen), and I had a tiny mouse pull a Denethor (minus the fire) into the drip bucket. He not only survived, but seemed little worse for wear. My roommate and I released him back to the wild.

Given that and the termite thing, I'm thinking maybe I have bad apartment karma.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Probably.

Who?

Emmett, of course. The littlest Zmayhem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Emmett, of course. The littlest Zmayhem.

Aha. I had wondered if you'd just developed a love-on for bugs.

If I only had a brain...

I'm sorry, ita. I hope your specialist is useful at last.

Betsy! Happy, um, third-day-of-your-new-age!

(You people should really stop having birthdays on Saturdays, or at least let me post properly with you before them and not just release the early wishes into the Natter. Yes, it's all about meMeME, even other people's birthdays.)

If I only had a brain...

Thank you, Nilly. I'm 47, which seems old to me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Does anyone in NYC know a notary? I need a notary at 6:30 near Union Square.
