Hear Ye, Hear Ye...Spiderman is dead!

So you remember that human sized spider that was featured in a previous post...he came back last night. The dead spider on the other side of the apartment building must have been Spiderman's little cousin. I came back from my SHOPscapades with Cory and something told me to look in my shower room...Thank God the light switch is outside the room because sure enough Spiderman was right in front of the door...taking a shower! So the common sense that was on vacation the last time I saw him returned and I ran to get the bug spray...IT TOOK 1/2 A CAN JUST TO MAKE HIM STOP RUNNING!!! Mind you I was on the phone with my mother the whole time it was happening. I'm so glad that I'm not the panicky type...I managed to kill and dispose of (in a small plastic bag, double-knotted, then put in the big trash bag) the trash without skipping a beat in the conversation. I've gotta get a screen for the shower room and WC windows ASAP...He's about the size of a silver dollar now that he's dead...still too big if you ask me...but that's better than alive and the size of my palm! I keep the WC window closed since I found evidence (use your imagination) of a lizard (rest his soul) in there last week! Then I did a little victory strut in my new burnt orange/chocolate brown wool houndstoothish grandpa cap (flat cap, newsboy cap, whatever you wanna' call it), matching bag, white oxford, and thin chocolate brown V-neck wool sweater! Can't wait for winter...hahah...I'll probably regret saying that! Perhaps a little winter will help my po' skin...the zit triad is out of control!

On the way back last night, Cory and I stopped at KFC for dinner...I got the Asian Spicy Chicken/Asian Noodle Soup/Naan Combo...you wanna talk about SPICY! PHEW! The bread was my favorite part of the meal...it wasn't real naan (2 pieces) but it was really good anyway. It's so amazing that although the portion sizes are exponentially smaller here than in the US, I manage to be completely satisfied...They've got to be putting some kind of "That's Enough You Gluttonous American" drug in all the food!!! And on the contrary, today I had a yummy Tempura and Udon set...and I had to ride across the street to the convenience store for some Green Tea Haagen-Daz...telling myself that it's good for digestion...lol...so maybe that meal did not have the drug in it but that ice cream sure did! I am amazed everyday at how I manage to do absolutely nothing for 8 hours straight! It's an art...perhaps I'll send an email or two... who am I kidding...maybe tomorrow...


Here's a picture from Saturday...this is inside a store called Baby Shoop...it's out of control....the sales people were falling over themselves to come and talk to me...ask me where I'm from...about my hair..."Doredo, Doredo? (Dreads, Dreads?)..."No, twists!" I replied...they were a bunch of Japanese women who look like they put a lot of care into darker skin, thicker hair, and skanky clothes...I'll be sure to always be well dressed/coiffed when I go in there to let them know that there are Black people in the world who look nothing like the image the store portrays!!! OUT OF CONTROL I SAY! Maybe I'll take a picture of them next time...
