Spiders suck. And speaking of sucking... SVU thoughts. ;)

Fuck me. I just saw a little spider on my wall, so I went looking for a glass to catch it in. Spotted an old glass (my Slytherin one I got from Nimbus 2003, in fact...) and went to grab it to catch said spider. Looked inside glass and was confronted with giant fucking spider. Freaked out, grabbed glass and ran into kitchen whimpering loudly, and gave it to my mom to dispose of. She said it was dead, but it still freaked me the fuck out. Didn't KNOW if it was dead, for one thing, so I kept expecting it to try to crawl out of the glass. And eat me. *ahem* Anyway, now I'm edgy and nervous to go to bed, because who knows what the fuck else is living in here? I haven't been in this house for monthes, at least not for longer than a few hours, and it's stuffed full of boxes. Part of me wants to move everything out and scour the room for creepy crawlies, but the larger part of me just can't deal. Cuz ew. I'd prefer not knowing, kthanx.

Yes, I'm a wuss. But I hate HATE spiders. Other bugs I hate but can kinda deal with. Spiders are the fucking crazy irrational terror. ewewew.

*goes to huddle in bed in horror*

(and speaking of horror, tso about tonight's SVU ep eh... lol. Talk about no payoff for all that hype. Granted I'm glad it wasn't a superbig melodramatic storyline, but I kinda thought there'd be more to it. Not surfe if I'm happy or sad that there wasn't, really, considering how lame I thought the storyline was from the start. But oh my god, Olivia craddling Elliot's head and crying out. Died laughing, ya'll. Also, Olivia/Novak verbal catfigh, much? Anyway, first ep this season I've watched since the premiere, because I was intrigued to see how bad this storyline would be. And I vaguely hoped that Chris would rock it like hell and make it better than it looked on paper, and while he was good, they didn't do much.. I wanted manpain. :( But no Olivia staring at him woefully. Yeah. Anyway. What happened to this show? Whenever I catch s1 eps it's awesome (Dean! And Munch having lines! And characters snarking and talking like normal humans, almost like on Homicide which was after all somewhat connected to it. Good times.) Now I can't even watch it... enjoyed parts of last season, which was when I started watching it, and occasionally watch old eps, but frankly the novelty's worn off. Kinda bores me now. It is/was a good show, but Chris is the only real reason I'd want to bother watching now and it's not enough. Should really finish watching Homicide, though - bloody brilliant show, plus I do love Munch's character and he's so. much. more. interesting. on Homicide. On SVU he mostly just supplies the occasionally snarky comment. It makes me sad. *is now coveting Homicide* Maybe I'll watch some later. Fantastic show.

Whoops...

Hmm.. .don't want to go far afield, but maybe just to the Subway down here? Haven't had lunch yet. Not feeling 100% myself, so don't want to do too much. And just got Mom down from the hospital, so getting her into bed and such. Dad's heading out to Safeway so i have to stay home for a bit, but either we could meet ~2 for lunch or you can just pop by Subway and come to the house. If that works for you?

All right, that works for me. See you around ~2-- depends when my shuttle bus gets here. Also I tried calling your cell and home #, but the former was off and the latter was 'not in service?' I'll confirm when I see you-- maybe I remembered it wrong.

Oh, sorry, I realize I wasn't very clear in that last one there. If your Mom's just home, it might be better if we met at Subway when you Dad gets back? Peace and quiet and all of that? It sounds like you could use a brief break away from things.

Sure, that sounds fine. He just left; will prob be awhile (going to Save On then Safeway.. don't ask me...). I'll send you another comment when he gets back, b/c I'm not 100% sure that I still have the right cell #. Oh, and re: my phone numbers - yeah cell's off (will turn on now) and we discontinued the 6621 #. (kinda weird - had it all my life! but we don't need it anymore...)

Sure, my shuttle comes at 2 and 2:30, so just let me know when you know~

You might as well get the 2:30 down... dad's not back yet, but 3 is getting a bit late. Just come by the house, I guess. Unless I call you before you get here, if he's back by then.
