while catching jiminees i had a scary realization.

crickets have spiderlegs!

not their back jumping legs, but they're other regular walking legs. just like spiders.

once i noticed, a cricket jumped up and touched my face. i wasn't planning on showering, but i had to shower off the spiderlegs.

i showered and put on my new underwear and it looked like this.



i don't think my camera is capable of focusing anymore... so it's an almost positive that i will be getting a new camera. or maybe i will wait it out til post-birthday and remain hopeful? we'll see how patient i can be with this tax return in my pocket.

a HUGE fly just flew out of my blinds and is now buzzing around my room. i hope flies don't have spiderlegs or we might have a surprise with the next utility bill.

i think i may as well have just live-blogged everything the past two days.

also, homeboy, if you come over before i get off work, there is a cup on the bathroom floor with a cricket underneath. he is not to be released under any circumstances. he has the worst spiderlegs of them all!

also, i have remisplaced my camera cord. help a baller out.

update: i found my camera cord and four more crickets.

as of a couple hours ago, my pumpkin head is in texas!!

join us for the slamming of thirty beers on the square! ((after the og)) t'will be a grand time.






in other news, homeboy's black car ((the one that makes me imagine him burning alive after rolling and tumbling and flipping nine times through fruit markets and school zones loaded with small children because he drives like the madman he pretends not to be)) is running again!... sort of. it just needs a jump or five.

also, lake dallas barbecue is soo much better than denton barbecue. except for the yams. apparently you have to back to the north to eat a good fucking yam. it's whatever. but we went to this place called leona's or laina's or loaner's or something for breakfast and i giggled at weird situations and ate an incredible barbecued pork sandwich and super-candied yams that were not quite super.






also, i found a new shirt in my trunk. if i don't decide to try on a thousand different event-outfits for pumpkin head's homecoming, i will wear it. it will be okay i think. but i can't wear it with the butt-crack pants i wore yesterday and i don't think i want to wear the pants with the hole in the knee because it is chilly again and drafty pants make me frustrated i wonder if i can find my darkwash jeans but they might match my shirt TOO well.




last night i thought i was going to stay home and watch the office in my couch fort but that didn't happen. cx and i watched hours upon hours of project runway and sell this house and then started talking about repainting our kitchen to FINALLY get rid of our heinous wallpaper and curtains. i think it was when we were discussing making matching outfits out of our floral curtains that i decided it was time to leave the house.




i went to jupiter house for seven minutes. just enough time to cozy into a chair and read the same paragraph eight times trying to block out the NOISE of others, order a coffee and then decide to go to homeboy's place to read in peace. i call other peoples' conversation NOISE because i think it was completely unnecessary. some days i feel completely narcisistic and everyones' existence makes me angry... unless you're making me coffee or doing me favors or whispering so i can barely hear you because then you're in the "white noise" category and i don't have to use my shift key when i blog about your presence.




i bought some crickets from petco and he gave me the pre-bagged ones that were hanging from the hooks in the reptile area. whenever this happens i feel pretty gyped. i imagine the crickets they get from the back are of a higher grade, or even a higher class. more civilized crickets. i paid $3.09 for blue collar crickets. i wonder if snowflake can tell.

i'm going to minnesota tomorrow.

i started packing and i found four pairs of pants that didn't fit before that totally fit awesome now and i'm ridiculous happy because now i have more than one pair of pants that fit! huzzah! it's like i just went shopping but didn't spend any money!!

also, petco raised their prices two cents per cricket. damn them.
