And so I said to my doctor...
Jan. 9th, 2005 11:09 pmThe Christmas decorations are almost all down now, since it's been a while after New Years it's about time to start getting things back to normal and away until the next upcoming holiday season. But alas, there's trouble a stirring inside this household. Something so disturbing and irritating, it's getting on my last nerve.
Haven't you ever wondered how much insect repellent it takes to wipe out an entire swarm of ants? I've been pondering this since yesterday when I've stumbled across the Invasion of the Ants creeping out of nowhere; it amazes me that these little critters automatically go into the most oddest places, the places where you'd think last to suspect these creatures to pop out from. The bathroom and the living room aren't really places to go for (unless you're eating in the bathroom, that might attract them). Now the kitchen, that's understandable -- however, inside the sink and shower? Either they're confused in the head or their sensors are completely off, and I mean way off.
Fortunately, I cleaned up all that I could after spraying them a thousand times to make sure they've all, well, died. I vacuumed and cleaned once again, and my mother suggested to take down the Christmas tree (which was the obvious place they might be coming from). So today, I picked off all the ornaments and Christmas tree lights and we're going to chop up the tree tomorrow afternoon. This won't solve the ant problem permanently, but at least some might hibernate outside for a while.
But you'd think after spraying the repellent on them once, they'd get the message and leave the house -- not gather up the rest of their posse and move toward the opposite side of the house and invade there. It's Attack of the Ants over here, I swear.
Well, it's finally 2005. And it looks like a great year for brand new films to be showing in the theaters! I've taken a look at some of them and I've pinpointed which ones I'm dying to go see:
( Movie Attraction: Films of 2005 )
Right as of now, I'm trying to tape the independent film My Life Without Me, starring Sarah Polley that's been airing on Showtime and HBO -- however our cables been kinda wonky and keeps hiccupping every 5 minutes. Is it due to the storm or massive winds over here? I don't know. I've also been trying to find A Tale of Two Sisters and that incredibly short film that Christina Ricci had on the Sundance channel -- the racy and almost silent version of Little Red Riding Hood, but I could never catch it for some reason. Either that or our hours are different than what the schedule is online.
