So we move on Monday.
Our new, quaint abode across the Powhite Parkway awaits our habitation. Meanwhile, as if they'd been tapping our phones, the insects under, around, in and above our current residence have decided to take the offensive over the last few days. We've resumed our T1 connection of ants caravaning from somewhere around the first wall, across the threshhold of and into the kitchen where they park their little RVs around our sink. A spider the size of the end of my thumb lowered itself onto the bed from the ceiling one night (thank Loki's downy nards the light was on) and I made the mistake of persuing the damn creature for half an hour, finding it, putting it in a bag and dropping it on the porch because Usagi would never forgive me if I decided to pulverize it. Next morning on my way out the door to work, I saunter into near darkness to find that I'm caught in an invisible lobster net not a few inches outside of my house, and am bathed in loathing upon cutting on the light and realizing that the same little brown bastidge had set up his wispy buffet stand RIGHT GODDAMN THERE, THE EXACTING HEIGHT AND WIDTH OF MY BODY, calculating little shit. It's since set up a perimeter around the entire front porch, now that it's found someplace where it doesn't have to worry about starving or noisy roommates. I really have become a bit more tolerant of various insects in the house as of late, but it starts to get old when they decide to appear en mass like this. I know that our new place is gonna have it's share of creepy-crawlies (the hornet frat house dangling above the new porch notwithstanding), and after this assault it's gonna seem downright tame.
Bugz-acide, I really do hope I can find suitable places for my stuff in the house. Since Usagi and I are ditching a few items (the demolition of our burnt-out DVD player and useless Shark vacuum was especially entertaining) We'll be able to manage the feng suai a little easier. 'N eaux mai gawd, we've got a papasan now, a grande olde, mudder phuqin' papasan, the chair of chairs...at least to yours truely.
I'm looking forward to it all, gotta find out what the easiest method would be for catching the bus in that area but that shouldn't be too hard. The neighbors are cool too, with maybe the exception of our left neighbors dog who's borne the Grin of Death To Thee once or twice to us. We had a spot of luck in snagging a rolled up fence in our alley, for one side of our new backyard which has no fence and another unfriendly canid living on the other side. Taming the foliage in the front and the back should be fun too; Usagi will fill it with splashes of colour 'n I'll raze the surplus to the bloody ground.

Sorry dude. You just made that sound so freakin funny as hell. I especially loved, "calculating little shit." Instantly created visuals for a one-shot comic: "Akeluus Vs. The Spider"
"the demolition of our burnt-out DVD player and useless Shark vacuum was especially entertaining"
DETAILS! PLEASE! ^_^
