Let's pretend it's yesterday...

...because I was sidetracked with reinventing mermaids.

It's yesterday's news, at least.

There was a spider in my bathtub this morning. This one was trifling and little, but it was imprisoned on a bench between a glass and a piece of paper. My priorities are clearly defined, in this instance - spider leaves bathtub, but having bath (complete with vanilla bubble bath, yay!) comes before throwing spider outside.

Maybe that'll make it think twice. Not particularly likely, since they expect for it to be rainy here for a few days yet. Grr.

*resolves to keep broom close*

My other big item of news is that I've officially decided pinball is electronic crack on skinny steel legs. Today, I was again playing the Lord of the Rings pinball machine, and had the oddest thought from some of the samples they use - specifically:

Legolas: "You have my bow!"
Gimli: "You have my axe!"

And what does this make me imagine? The nine of them, forming a band possibly called The Fellowship of the Rock.

So, we have Gimli on a guitar, and Legolas with a violin. This leaves seven more... and I open the floor for discussion on Middle-Earth's newest band. Let's not worry about anachronism too much, here.

You know, I don't think I've seen a spider in my house in months. This doesn't seem to be a particularly spidery area, which is a Good Thing. I don't think I'd be quite so careful about trapping/releasing, I tend to squush, which I know isn't nice but honestly, I hate them, sounds like as much as you do.

Spidersquishing tends to make a mess, which is why I don't do it. That, and that spiders eat more annoying yet less scary things.

Definitely messy, and I know about eating other critters. I just wish I could train my cats to be spider-herders. They don't seem interested, though.
