If you haven't already heard: comment editing.

hcolleen has posted our floor plan.

Reading right now and wondering when there's going to be an update: http://www.thehexfiles.net/viewstory.php?sid=9505&i=1 (slash, H/D)


There are damn ants. Exterminator comes Wednesday. wtf, ants. Some of them were taking up residence in the mirror in the front bathroom. There are more that like the kitchen.

Book of the day: Night of the Fox, Jack Higgins. I wanted to slap several characters for deep stupidity. Always assume you're being watched. Never break character. (Well, to establish who you are to a relative since the mission depends on it, but only for like thirty seconds, and then you go back to your character and stick there.)


We went further thattaway than I think I've ever been, and wound up at a mall. It was a mall of mally goodness! The jewelry store lady is a closet geek. There is chocolate. hcolleen ran into an old friend. I found some ... unorthodox ... things at a store. *snerk* We hit the Cheesecake Factory for supper, and I proceeded to get well and truly blitzed off of one (1) drink (contents: Courvoisier, champagne, cointreau and pomegranate juice shaken, chilled). I am still not entirely sober. We stopped by Fry's (grocery) on the way home. I have a big-ass peppermint stick now.


Still have yet to hear back from Darkside on the topic of the work₁ holiday party, especially now that I'm permanent.


Lovie is not entirely cooperative. She should be doing a tell-all. Instead, she's blogging. *headdesk* Tomorrow, I swear. Today I just need sleep.

Thataway whichaway?

[hcolleen.livejournal.com]

lol, East! Loony's been on the west side nearly the whole time she's lived in AZ.

[azurelunatic]

Actually, that's South. I've been as far East as the renfair grounds.

This one admits to being directionally impaired.

[azurelunatic]

Thisaway.

My sympathy on the ants! *Shudder* We had a place in the woods where I COULD NOT get rid of all the ants. I figured I was doing well if I killed all the fire ant colonies in the immediate vicinity.

[azurelunatic]

At least these are just tiny little black ants, probably displaced by the construction across the street, and not fire ants.

I have not seen any more in my bathroom since spraying the hell out of the crack along the bottom of where the mirror rests, so I think I have licked that mini-colony. (I hope.)

[wibbble]

Kill them all. Poison everywhere. DEATH!

I hate ants.

You live near somewhere called Mesa?

You should paint your house black, and call it the 'Black Mesa Complex'.

One thing I found that seems to work relatively well - much better than any solid bait I've run across - is a clear liquid that comes in little bottles, that has the consistency of heavy syrup. The sugar ants love it; the only problem is that you do have to be careful that your animals can't get to it.

[azurelunatic]

I like the roommate's cats, though, so not quite everywhere.

[wibbble]

Ah, that does limit you a bit.

I'd also recommend against inhaling too much of it yourself: I did that with the second-to-last bout of ants we had in the last place and made myself very sick.

[azurelunatic]

*snerk* Oh dear goodness, I think that one's going into one of the novels somewhere, because it's exactly what one of the geeks would do.

[azurelunatic]

*nod* We have some quasi-organic stuff, and I've been spraying that out with great abandon.

[azurelunatic]

Her Nibs is a crazy cat.

[kdorian.livejournal.com]

They're ALL crazy.

Which reminds me - have you see this?

[azurelunatic]

Hahah! I hadn't.
