Yesterday, the whole house was busy hunting for pests. My mom was like "there are mice around". So we turned the house upside-down just looking for them. In the end, we found them. A whole family of them. There was papa mouse (probably), mama mouse, and 5 baby mice. My mom had all 5 of them...sleep for good. The parent mice were more elusive...they even escaped the claws of my cat when we brought it into our house. So, we set a trap, the bait being a banana. And hey, it worked. This morning, mom caught mama mouse and had her (the mouse) bath really hot water. Really hot. Mom said it gave out 3 squeaks before it died. Mom was really reluctant to kill them. But they are pests, bad animals.
And this afternoon I myself had pest termination session again. This time it was a plastic bag of roaches. Literally. There were tens and tens of them in there. I had to use a long stick to prod them out of the bag. When they did eventually came out of the bag, I stepped on them hard. No mercy. Call me a roach terminator, but they're sickening.
Ugh. Of course I couldn't kill them all. Some managed to escape into small spaces where my feet couldn't reach. Damn them all.
BTW, my hair's condition is improving. It is not as oil-dry as before. And it's not too poofy too. So it did work.
Hmmm.
Anywhere But Here Track 6 on Hilary Duff: Metamorphosis
When I'm in a crowd
Or on an island by myself
Silent or too loud
Wishing I was somewhere else
And I can't believe
You hit me fast and hard
When you turn to me and say
Never change the way you are
Trying to catch your eye
Things will never look the same
Now I can't deny
You're the moth and I'm the flame
There I go again
I should walk before I run
How can I explain
I can't stop what you've begun
Chorus
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't wanna be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
What goes on inside
Is a mystery no doubt
A roller coaster ride
I may never work it out
Here's the brand new me
Skates around and floats on air
I'm a sight to see
Rainbow colors in my hair
You have set me free
The one who gets me there
Chorus
Here is the place where
My head is spinning
Time is beginning
To race away
You come to throw me
Knock me off my feet
You give me wings to fly
The world goes crashing by again
Chorus 2X
