Found one of these in my kitchen last night; another in the back bedroom later on last night. They are my worst enemies. Scare the crap out of me.

After tgl moved out of our room in college our Bolshevik breeding Fascist Bathroom became compoundingly filthy. One morning, after having an all night trip disturbed by the police looking for a former house member (name? tgl?) that had been vandalizing around town, I went into the aforementioned Fascist Bathroom to take a quick shower before heading off to Cedar Point (G Lib would have loved the shows) for the day. In the bathroom I discovered a wretched and unidentifiable critter that had decided to move in given tgl's absence. Given his size and oppressiveness, as well as the fact that he was clearly a mutant species that existed only to torment my filth and fascism, I decided to name him Terry 3, even though he was merely a silverfish. <shudder>

That was in the bathroom at my Kennedy School job. Very funny.

Apparently, Camel Crickets love dark, damp places...like my flooded crawlspace.
When I pay rent today I'm going to tell them about it. And then hire an exterminator. They REALLY freak me out.

El Rollo de Mayo fagen, for those of you paying attention.
This illustrates why I'm reluctant to believe 10D, since, when I left Ann Arbor (sigh), I was told I could not be replaced.
Vandalist... um, female? Black?

Yeah, female, black, we kept getting mail for her after she moved out... I'm sure Kessler would remember... The Man came and let himself into our house and someone came to find me (I was in Dunkin Donuts, metaphysically) and he pretended to be looking for her, but really they had her in custody and were checking the address that she had given them when they threw the proverbial book at her... Fuckin The Man.
Oh, and of course T3 didn't replace you, I killed him easily, whilst you always managed to elude me.

Nice.

10D, I tried to push for Six Flags for this year's all-staff outing, but no one seemed all that psyched about it. I was pretty disappointed.
In the end, we went to Nantasket beach, had lobsters and clams and open bar for 3 hours. Then I convinced the big boss to try Dance Dance Revolution with me.
Almost, but not quite, as entertaining as amusement park shows...
WHIP!!!

Found another camel cricket last night next to my toilet. I killed it with some spray in a bottle. Worked pretty fast; I waited until it evaporated before picking up the corpse with a tissue. Ooh, gross.

Killed yet another one of these bad boys this morning in under my kitchen table. It tried to escape down the a/c vent, but it was at death's door and no longer had full use of it's legs. Ugh.
