jebbypalOkay, well, that was anti-climatic....I think that's the fastest I've ever thrown together a presentation in my life (helpful, when you don't have to analyze any data before/as you do it).
I am most definitely in love with K-ville. Fox, please be nice to me this season. Though I could have done without the huge exposition dump at the end of the show...but well, it's a pilot episode, it's to be expected.
This morning....most definitely did not start out welll --- Everything actually went hunky dory for the most part except for waking up freezing and having to turn the heater on (in september, people. this is WRONG. Yes, I know, Northeast and all that snazz. I must move south, I tell you. But I'd like to take some of you sane folk with me when I go). I was actually even managing to be ready early despite being lazy in my wake up schedule.
So I've showered and all that. And finish brushing my teeth, and pick up the handtowel to dry my mouth.....
As I go to put it back, I notice this big dark spot on the towel hook. Now remember, this is the morning and I don't have my glasses on so my eyes aren't working (especially when you consider that although I can see without my glasses on, that's thanks to my one good eye versus my very bad eye. So sometimes seeing black spots isn't unusual for me). I go and do a double take wondering what it is (because I haven't had a nose bleed that bad since being in this apartment) and then let out a rather large yelp (and huge burst of adrenaline) when I see it's a spider almost the size of a nickel.
I hear someone out there --- "But, Stacey, you've always said you don't have problems with big spiders. It's the little ones you don't like". Okay, technically true. But not first thing of a morning. Really not first thing of a morning.
Fortunately, the spider wasn't awake at all and it was an easy kill. But I had the creepy crawlies all day because anything that big has babies and where the hell did it get in from????
You know, it's a good thing there was no youtube in the days when I'd run screaming in the other direction any time I saw a granddaddy long legs --- I'd be rather infamous otherwise.
That's about it, think I'm going to give in to the sleepy feeling and hope this cup of tea I drank doesn't keep me up. My office mate's husband brought back some tea from china and it smells a lot like the tea my bio prof used to make me. Taste is different though -- more green tea rather than brown tea. Ah well.
