Big Hairy Spider
I had to commit arachnicide again this morning. I should have been tipped off by the little strand of something I ran into in the bathroom, first thing as I stumbled out of bed. BIG nasty hairy spider in the tub. Including its legs, it was the size of a quarter, maybe even a half-dollar. Ick. It met a quick end--I grabbed the cup by the sink and washed it down the drain. They don't like that. But I do. PETA, go ahead, tell me what-for.
But why is it, that a spider in my tub is all nasty, but I admired a spider on my way out the door yesterday morning? It had built a really cool web in front of the house, just above the hedge that Jim had recently hacked back (yay Jamie). I even came back to look at it, after I'd put my things in the car on my way to school. I blew on it and it scurried to the top of its web, up at the gutter on the roof. I even meant to go take a photo of it when I got back from school, so I could show you! Big fat belly on that one. But it wasn't as big a spider as the one in the tub. Yeesh.
My theory on spiders, for all its logic: They can live in the basement, or outside. No problem in general with spiders. They eat bugs, I'm down with that. But when they come upstairs into my living space, all bets are off, dudes are dying if I can get a shoe at them or a water glass at them. There's still one floating around in my practice room. Lurking somewhere, waiting to pounce on me. Some little punk spider, just the other day, spun his web between my front door and the screen door. That was pleasant to walk into, yuuch.
The universe is probably trying to tell me something, with all these spiders. Do they represent something, other than an aversion to their sticky webs? Until I figure out what it is, my theory and behavior will remain the same.
Passed my second take at 110. I'm off to my 120s now! Holy crap, never thought I'd see the day.

Now, I know that they all have their jobs but they are all icky and SUCK!!!
Example: You see a snake in the pool, (this one has happened to me)ask someone to remove the snake from the pool(spouse)and they ask you what kind of snake it is. What? How the hell should I know! I am not employed by the Animal Planet nor am I related to any of those morons that go out in the bush or desert looking to photograph the deadliest snake in the world. Don't even get me started on those morons. Okay, back to my point.
If there was, oh say, a shark in the pool some dumbass wouldn't ask what kind it is! Duh! Not that finding a shark in the pool would ever happen but you never know with all this global warming.
Anyway, they all suck and should all go away. And bravo to you Cat for your killing today. If Peta has a problem with that someone should throw cobras on those freaks giving you crap about your spider murder.
