Today.
June 1, 2003
Today I am declaring war on the fucking cockroaches in my bedroom. I've been trying to keep my room clean in hopes that they would just pack up and leave. Last night, I was feeling all smug that I hadn't heard them rustling about on the now empty bookshelf, and I thought I had rid myself of them. Then I picked up a sheet that was laying on the ground and was treated to a little family of the fuckers who had been huddling down there for cover. What the fuck! I'm convinced it's because there's that huge oak tree in the backyard, but I have no idea why they like my bedroom so damn much. They don't seem to be in m's room, which is adjacent to mine and I really don't see them in the kitchen nearly as much as in my room.
So, fuck them. And apologies to whatever sense of the sanctity of all life that I carry around with me like a fucking lead weight. Those suckers are going. Today I'm going to the hardware store, and I'm going to arm myself with a few pounds of boric acid, which I will distribute liberally along the wall beside my bed, in the closets, and in the bathroom.
I'm also going to clean out that little cupboard in the bathroom that used to house the kitty litter. I think it gets damp back there when the kids splash water out of the tub, and it becomes a little haven for roaches. I'm going to find a way to fix that problem.
I definitely also need to clean out my office, as I'm sure there are tons of little hiding places in there. For the most part, everything is boxed up in there, but it still needs to be rearranged so the boxes are neatly stacked...and I'm certain there's stuff that can be thrown away. The added benefit to this will be that I will actually be able to, like, USE my office...as an office!
So, that's my project for the month of June. Starting today. Those little fuckers must die.
In other news...I was totally psyched to discover that the CD/MP3 player I bought used (for 20 bux!) also plays .WMA files...and I'm busily copying all of my CDs for my road trip. What a joy!

ok dru..eeewwww!
the only 2 things worse than cockroaches are earwigs and ticks (not in that order)
Yeah, and they're the giant "american" cockroaches, too. Just...disgusting creatures. Seriously.
My mama swears by boric acid. Good luck in this.
hey dru - do a search on the straight dope's website for his special anti cockroach concoction. apparently it really works.
and the boxes in your office might be attracting them. they looooove to eat cardboard.
luv pink
MOst of my boxes are now plastic because of this fact. Which pisses me off for other reasons. Yes. I should probably just get rid of the stuff in the boxes, but I can't bring myself to part with 15 years or more of zines! I can't!!!
