I woke this morning to an ant infestation. At first, in my blind-state it went under the radar. I *did* think it was strange to find a little ant on my computer (Yes, I can surf, while half-blind), and although I was sorta mad about that (MY *lovely*, sleek computer is SO off-limits to all insects, BTW) I just threw him off. Unfortunately, he decided to then climb on Noel's dress, to her chagrin, so the ant was then rendered dead (Normally, I give insects an escort outside, but he had stepped out-of-bounds twice, and I was not in the mood.) I thought that was the end of the story, until I finally could see, and realized that a couple hundred new roommates had moved in overnight. B*stards! Now if I had a *reasonable* landlady, then this wouldn't be too much of a big deal. However, this is far from my reality (For evidence, check out: A New World of Renting Blues in the archives.) And just as an added little cherry on that shit-sundae, Noel has a fear of ants, in particular. During a trip to Palm Desert, California when she was 2 years old, she was terrorized by a mini biting ant that crawled up her little leg. She cried about it for a minute or two before we could locate the problem. "The problem" had been biting it's way around her ankle. Ohh, my poor little girl...*concerned, sweet eyes* So now we'll be bunking with hundreds of his relatives until I get this sorted...huh. *sigh*
However, my mood was greatly tamed by the raining flower petals, as I strolled about doing the morning routine. It was lovely: the world had gone pink and fluttery.
And then to finish off getting me back into line, I decided that it was going to be an ipod-laden, dance-music kinda day. There have *already* been several dance breaks and I plan to use that as my crutch ALL DAY. *shakes her ass* ;)

perhaps I'll be getting that futuristic gel ant-farm after all...
Dance breal? Hell yeah!
Sarah:
Are ya comin' over to catch em'?? HAVE AT IT!!
Ergo:
Girlfriend, it'd be 100X better with you here shakin' it, too. You know it.
Music is my friend everyday. I say, if you have a large picture windown in your front room, then you are morally obligated to make an arse of yourself for your neighbours at least daily.
I am not a big fan of ants myself, so I hope the problem just magically goes away. Wouldn't that be nice?
hey, i want video footage of these dance breaks!
Jay:
Well, with the exception of Noel's room, all of the windows are curtain-free, most are blind-free. So, yeah, the neighbors get some free shows. (laughing....)And I can say this for certain because they've made comments on the shows that Noel watches (but haven't mentioned anything about me running around the house naked, yet. I guess sometimes no reinforcement is the best reinforcement) ;)
Narthex:
(laughing...) I don't know if I'm ready to release my ass-shake for public consumption. ;) (....except out at bars when I've been drinking....oh, whatever.)
I often have a session with my air guitar. Problem is I keep putting em down and then later can't find em. Keeps you fit as well.
Here's a thought, buy a big compressor, use it to pressurise your house and blow all the little crawly invaders back out into the world outside!!
QUOTE: "B*stards!" LMAO
Is that said with a Brit or an American accent? LOL
Ants & music huh?...
So unplug the jukebox,
and do us all a favour
that music's lost its taste
so try another flavour -
"antmusic"
Brom-man:
Well, I've been going with the suck-'em up method. Dust-busters were an amazing invention.
(You are a *theorist*, not an *experimentalist*, aren't you?) ;)
Lever:
Hmmmm, Robbie Williams? Isn't he sorta pop-y fer you? But perfect song, for my new b*ast....um, yeah, I mean *friends*. *wink*
Do american ants smell yucky when you squash them? That it one of the bad bits about an ant infestation I reckon, everything smells like ants. Last time I had to throw away a large segment of my US kiddy-drug habit...York Mint patties, Reese's Pieces, Tootsie Rolls, all in the bin. It was a tragedy. I've folied them now though - all in little zip lock baggies, and I've been ploughing my way through them too! I can't imagine what ants in the computer would be like....
Robbie Williams? Robbie f'ing Williams? No way! That's Adam & the Ants... Is too :p :p :p
Mummy/Crit: Fortunately there's just not enough ant to eminate a smell when smushed. These buggars are tiny. Plus, I've been doing less squishing and more suck-'em-up-with-the-dustbustering. ;)
Lever: *does a little bow* sorry to insult, my dear. *wink*
Mulgogi: I'm definitely winning the battle today. ;)
Johnny Crash: *wiggles her ass* ;)
Boric acid...yeah, i think I heard that about roaches as well. Thanks for reminding me.... *ponders the liklihood of Noel getting into it and decides go to back to the in-house bug catching time with Noel's bug-equipment..."It's like camping indoors!"*
