Daily 15 Minutes

I started going through piles of paper again. This time, I kept turning up comic books in the darnedest places: in piles of paper on the kitchen counter, in a bin under my desk, and under a pile of paper on my desk. I don't remember putting them there. I also weeded some computer books for software I no longer have. Although it goes against my nature as a librarian to throw books away (I usually take them to a used book store), I just don't think there's a huge market for Netscape 4 manuals.

I was also going to Swiffer the kitchen floor, but then I saw this scuttle under my kitchen cabinets, and I was afraid to prod it back out again. Apparently, the hardy little buggers survived the last visit from the exterminator. I'm trying to look on the bright side in that house centipedes eat spiders, and I really hate spiders. I haven't seen a spider in my apartment in almost a year. On the other hand, house centipedes are butt ugly, so I'm fairly conflicted about how hard I want to try to get rid of these things.

You should try seeing them in person. They're huge. I found one behind the shower curtain once (while I was in the shower--I made a loud noise), and tried to wash it down the drain. It didn't fit. ::shudders::
