Quick update before I run off to dance practice. First the ant invasion has mostly petered off due to my policy of careful food clean-up, wiping over any and all chemical trails, and mild culling. I can't bring myself to go nuclear on entire ant civilizations so we're down to skirmishes. It is a great object lesson in exactly how much weather proofing I'm going to need to do on this place in the fall. *sigh*

On the plus side I just got a nice fat security deposit back from my old apartment. I'd like to once again thank everyone who pitched in to help clean the place, it more than paid off. Now if I can avoid any major expenses in the next few weeks I'm going to start feeling almost financially secure for the first time in a very long while.

And on a completely unrelated note, for those who've been watching this season's True Blood, can I just say that the vampire queen has become my new favorite character? Seriously, she's like my devastatingly cool/beautiful/immortal fictional alter ego. Love her, absolutely love her!

"Now if I can avoid any major expenses in the next few weeks I'm going to start feeling almost financially secure for the first time in a very long while."

That is wonderful news to hear about a dear friend nowadays.

I second that.

Now if I could just stem the tide of the ant apocalypse I'd be sitting pretty ;)

As Dan O'Neil (the cartoonist from the 1960s) said: "Life can be a picnic if you learn to accept the ants."

But seriously, the best remedy is keeping all food tightly sealed and floors clean. I had an "ant war" and that's how I got rid of them.

Good Luck!

Be careful what you ask for, although security in the Apocalypse is going to be awfully hard to come by.

Hey I can successfully grow my own food and I know someone with at least a fundamental understanding of blacksmithing, I'd say that's not too shabby.

Now if you can only keep the ravening hordes away from your crops, you're all set.
