Picnic Spirit

"I just lost all my picnic spirit"- Bob Dylan, Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre from The Bootleg Series, Disc 1 released 1962

using it- to indicate a bad mood.

I love Bob Dylan, and have seen him perform twice, and was able to help run a concert of his at the University of Rhode Island. And the Bootleg Series is a great cd set.

Sometime between 3:00 and 4:00 this morning, something in my walls started to move. Now, if you are keeping track, K is still on an icefield in British Columbia (Jasper National Park). I woke up immediately, and became concerned. Linus the Cat went to investigate. The 3 room apartment that K and I shared for almost 3 years had a family of squirells living in the walls. This noise was different. They might have been racoons, or Fang from Harry Potter, or a zombie. I was afraid. Linus was afraid. We talked it over (did I mention that K has been gone for only a week, and already I am holding deep discussions with a 1 year old pink nosed cat) and decided that we should leave the upstairs ASAP. I gathered my pillow and blanket, and Linus's blanket. He sniffed at the wall, just in case. Then he did a loop under the bed, licked his right front paw, and then we headed downstairs.

At this point, the toothache reared it's ugly head. Disclosure time- I don't have any cavities, never had a filling, no history of dental problems or pain. Until last week. I went to investigate what sort of knife I must have accidently landed on, and pierced my gums. That's when I saw it. The biggest spider in Chandra's Universe. IT WAS HUGE, and IT WAS ON MY TOWEL.
I didn't kill it, I was afraid it would fight back.

Indiana Jones is to Snakes as Chandra is to Spiders.

I slept with the light on, downstairs, hiding from the zombies in the walls, and the spider in the bathroom.

I have to go do something that will remind me that I am an adult.

Today's random question- when you are alone in your house/apartment/living space, and use the bathroom do you close the door?
