me vs. bugs

September 12th, 2008 § 1 comment § permalink

Last night I discovered a little spider living in a corner of my kitchen. I killed it. That brings my total up to 2 spiders, 1 earwig, and 2 mosquitoes. Every night I prowl my apartment with my bug zapping racket. I’ve missed a few mosquitoes, I think, because my legs are always bitten during the night. I keep bottles of Bath and Body Works body sprays, which contain some alcohol, so that I can kill bugs and sanitize the area where they died while making the air smell like pearberry or white tea ginger.

I am Yuan, bug slayer, unless the bugs are big. In which case I’ll panic and wish for a vacuum cleaner with a powerful hose.

spiders suck

I got bit by a spider in my sleep. I woke up yesterday with an itchy knuckle. It slowly swelled and spread so that this morning, my hand looked as if i was wearing a fat suit on it. It looks like I have no knuckles on my right hand when I try to make a fist. I can see the two punctures where the spider’s little fangs sank into my knuckle.

Why? Why this unprompted, undeserved attack? I was SLEEPING!!
