morning you showed up fine

[jawnbc]

Oscars: Worst opening ever and Ellen did a so-so job, sadly. Yay Jennifer! And yay for no longer living back East: actually had a couple of hours to come down from the crap food glitz and glam rush.

Sunday: toneyvr and I went nordic skiing at Cypress/Hollyburn again. There was lots of fresh snow so we gallumped straight up the mountain in 30 minutes. After a 10 minute break in the warming hut, we tracked around the top a bit, schlussed and strode down the back of the mountain and dragged my rubber-legged, 42.98 year-old carcass to the car. Our timing was perfect: We (querrelle too) had a bite to eat before toneyvr bit us adieu.

OMG I went to fil the bath and a ginormous* spider was on the tap--centimetres away from my hand! *shriek*

*fuck you. to an arachnaphobe a teeny tiny spider is ginormous

Did you marry someone who can handle the spiders? It is good to keep a person in the house who isn't afraid of them. It is good balance.

[jawnbc]

Yes. But even he freaked with the ones as big as your hand (hand and fingers) we got in our house sometimes in Australia. That is totally fucked up.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

See, it's spiders bigger than your hand why the right to bear arms is a good idea.

[jawnbc]

Useless. They get you in your sleep.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Yeah and sleeping with a loaded gun isn't the best for marital bliss, either.

I used to like those because they ate the cockroaches (I had a sloppy housemate who never, ever cleaned up after herself... so cockroaches were sadly a feature of our house). I can put up with massive killer huntsmans if it means no cockroaches spreading filth around the kitchen.

I must confess, it is a little disconcerting when the glass you have grabbed to trap the spider (for removal to the garden)is too small to contain all the legs.

*shudder*

Growing up in NYC I am obsessed with keeping the kitchen and bathroom clean because of roaches. I hear ya.

[jeneration.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they seemed to be a feature of life in QLD, too. The climate must have suited them. As a result, I too am obsessive about the kitchen and bathroom being clean. Needless to say, I only lasted a year with the sloppy housemate.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Icky.
Yeah there is a reason why I don't live in Australia.

[toneyvr.livejournal.com]

I did not bite you! Not even a bye-bye nibble!

[jawnbc]

don't deny it!

Spiders are further proof that god doesn't exist.

If a benevolent god did exist, he certainly wouldn't have created such a nasty creature.

A little off topic, but I used to work in a urology clinic and used to say that foreskins were proof that God existed, and that she had a wicked, wicked sense of humour...

and now the million dollar question: did Querrelle graciously 'remove' it, or did you have to do it yourself? (in case of the second scenario I'd advise you to threaten him with divorce. You'd be well within your rights to)

Greetings, a fellow arachnaphobic;

Vacuums are the best spider (and moth) killers! My vacuum bag is probably filled with dead spiders.
