cockroaches

i should keep a cock in the house to eat these roaches. a few nights ago, i saw a big one, but i wasn't wearing my glasses, and it got away. hid behind a cupboard ultimately.

then tonight, i went into the kitchen and there were two big ones. i had no implements with which to quash them, so i went to get a slipper, but when i came back they both disappeared. to console myself, i killed a teeny weeny one, most likely the offspring. i hope they don't spawn too quickly, so that i might soon exterminate them.

cleared out the store room today with my dad and the maid. found a soccer ball, so pumped it up, and pumped up the basketball too. soccer or basketball, anyone?

jasper now remembers, without prompting, that i'm a vegetable. we're planning on playing tennis this friday. and aaron has made a motion regarding table tennis this sunday. good.

also found lots of bags in the store room, many of which we'll probably give away to charity or something. found some lego blocks too, so i spent the afternoon with my creative spirit, constructing a kick-ass aircraft (which is still not complete). a main feature of it is that it has ramps at the back that can be lowered and raised.

seems the tag-board is down. it should come back online soon, i guess. by the way, check out the photo here: http://www.princeton.edu/~ztan/
i like it a lot and so i'm asking you to see it.

the ceiling light just blew when i switched the light on just now. it's not totally dark, since there were 3 of them. so now only 2 green bottles hanging on the wall.

omg i got a royal scare. a beetle just flew crazily at my desk and landed right next to my computer. well, it's in the dustbin now, sorta semi-killed or totally alive, i'm not sure, i didn't squeeze it that hard. wrapped in tissue paper.

watched conair on TV just now. it's quite good. scary and gruesome, but that kind of stuff is usually good, isn't it? on the bus this afternoon they were showing this surgery thing and sticking stuff in the guy's leg... that was gross, i couldn't bear to watch.

found boxes and boxes of photo albums in the store room also. found 17 tennis balls, 4 badminton racquets, 3 shuttlecocks, 3 table tennis bats and a table tennis ball. the 2 tennis racquets i had retrieved previously. for some time the store room had been a /dev/null, as is wont to happen.

really hope the army can enlist me first because my appointment with my gastroenterologist has been pushed back to mid october (he has urgent business to attend to). that's like a month and a half away.

happy teachers' day! oh, when johnny depp found a mouse in his bathroom in secret window, he wrapped it in a cloth and let it go outside. how sweet. i should do the same if i do find a mouse, and if i dare. i dreamt there was a huge worm streaking a trail through my house and my maid caught it and let it go outside. the worm was fat and squat, kinda like a bolster.

i should really start writing that poem, huh? the one i said i was going to write, like, err... 3 months ago?

found a few name plates in the store room too, and put a bugs bunny one on my door. it says "darren's room". finally managed to get some decent dark chocolate. lindt, with 70% cocoa solids. found chocolate rice dream and chocolate soy dream too. chocolate rice dream is really chocolatey.
