another week...

the above image sums up a lot of what has been going on lately, lol. we have had QUITE the mouse sage. several nights ago we saw this mouse, and the next day proceeded to buy traps. well, the first night it managed to eat the food from both traps, but escaped. the second night i awoke to a loud SNAP, but then a clanging of sorts. in the morning i saw that the mouth had set off the trap, but somehow escaped and left a small trail of blood.  well the third night we weren't fucking around - we baited two traps with peanut butter as well as a third sticky trap. what you see above was the result of that. muahaha. 

but it didn't end there - of course now there's a second mouse.  we baited everything again, and late last night i heard squeaking, so sure enough there was a mouse stuck in the morning. however, we stupidly decided to just let it die there, and in that perhaps half-an-hour period it managed to escape. now we have some sticky-ass mouse running around. we are definitely speaking with the landlord today to fix this problem asap. 

other than that apartment living has been wonderful. last weekend we went to haymarket, the big farmer's market downtown, and picked up a ton of fresh veggies (and a lb of fresh squid) for dirt cheap. its a great day excursion since i don't work on fridays, and it will give us a nice assortment of cheap/fresh groceries. 

spent memorial day with mel, bryan, peter, jeremy, and adam in the Fens at Bryan and Peter's little garden. it was a gorgeous day, and i had never been to the Fens before. i never realized what a gay cruising area it was - there are these tall, lush reeds along the river, and people go and hook up in there and make paths. the sketchy people, along with condoms and wrappers on the ground attested to that, lol. afterwards we had wine and grapes on their front stoop followed by dinner in the south end. 

work is just about over today. i need to fill out the mail forms and head out. tata!
