I have been trying for a week to get tickets to the Annenberg Beach House in Santa Monica (since I'm teaching around there for the next 2 weeks) for a week. I finally was successful today for next Tuesday. I know where this building is -- I always thought it was some fancy shmancy club. I can't wait to see the pool.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Oh msbelle, that truly sucks.
That said, last night I lay down on the floor to stretch my back and got bitten by something twice. I am in red alert flea paranoia. Not bedbug bad, but they are my most feared bug.

For everyone's info: 90% cocentrate rubbing alcohol sprayed will kill any adult bugs it touches, so I'll be spraying between the matresses and the after I clear out from under the bed, then I have to carefully lift up the box spring and get all up in there, then immediately encase it in a plastic bag thingy.

I wish someone would just invent a ray that kills anything smaller than a squirrel in a given area.

Bedbugs are a big problem here too, to the point where other big cities refer to Cincinnati when it comes to bedbug problems and how to deal with them.
Thus far, we don't have them in the house, but I can't help thinking it's only a matter of time. My dad had them in his apartment, and I don't think he called an exterminator; he just went to a hardware/garden store (most of them now have banners across their exterior saying "We Have Bedbug Solutions!") and got some sort of product that nukes them from orbit.
I've eaten alligator, and it does taste like chicken, or at least like chicken cooked with fish.
When I had gator tail, it was like firm whitefish. The waiter made sure to tell us it was from a young gator; apparently meat from old gators is tough and chewy.

Hivemind question (manuscript related, I swear)- have there been any other prototypical "teen flick" movies that hit big since the American Pie films?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
