(no subject)

I feel like I'm living in a bloody horror film right now... we got down to North Van tonight to find the kitchen invested by little black flies. My bug zapper didn't seem to be working well (only now, hours later, does it occur to me to replace the batteries... -_-), and we decided to go buy some bug killin' supplies. Well, we had no luck in finding either a new zapper or any fly paper cuz they were all over the walls), and we didn't want to spray a bunch of chemicals everywhere, so we ended up coming home and trying to use duct tape to kill the ones on the walls. Ineffective. ^^ But then Dad remember the shopvac downstairs, and we used that quite effectively to suck em all up. :) (course, now I think that all the flies biuzzing around inside the vacuum are going to merge to form a giant man-eating fly that will eat us in our sleep, but whatever... they're mostly gone now, and we used the zapper (which works much better with new batteries... duh...) to get a few more. Still, ugh. o.o
