This week Adam and I stepped up the war on the mice. Stepping it up included buying 4 traps, two of the sticky variety and two of the snap snap type ( Read more... )

Yeah, we had mice too, but we got rid of them. It's very common this time of year for mice to creep in because they're cold. They often like to live in oven insulation because it's warm and cozy in there. Traps only work if you put out tons of them and try to get them all at once...a better method of getting rid of them is to take away their food source by putting all your food in sealed containers and cleaning up really well, and also seal up the holes they're crawling in through with expanding foam. If it gets harder for them to get in, they'll just move on to someone else's house. The problem definately gets worse the longer you take to react, though...that's what we found out.

Hey, I missed you at the Ninja High School show tonight....did you get stuck in the lineup?

sadly i came down with a cold yesterday and felt like crap and didn't go out. i was all excited about going to three wavelengths in 3 nights too. i take it it was fun?

Maybe just play your EP and it'll make them leave.....

Kidding, of course!

I wore my TGID shirt today to the mall in Phoenix... there were lots of emo kids everywhere, they made me really happy. But sad at the same time, because, y'know, they're sad... their lives are rough... they're emo....

hooray! emo kids are great. they're like people that make you feel better about your own life without actually feeling bad about them because they did it to themselves.
