I've sprayed and bombed since then, but tonight that same feeling came back to me. I went to the kitchen for a glass of a tasty beverage, and there on the microwave was either a) roaches having sex or b) a strange mutation caused by all these damn chemicals. Basically, if you think of two big roaches joined by the behind in the fashion of catdog, that's what I saw.
Now obviously this creeped the hell out of me. I always thought roaches just magically popped out of nowhere. Either way, I was faced with a choice. Smash the bastards with a shoe, or go grab the ant/roach spray I've been keeping in my bathroom. Seeing as how I still haven't learned my lesson and I'm still walking around barefoot, I opted for the roach spray.
I grabbed the spray, came back (surprised that the roaches were still in the same exact spot), and sprayed away. Now here's a strange thing. When spraying pesticides, I've noticed there is always a delay from the time you start spraying until whatever you're spraying on realizes its getting sprayed. I usually take it as my cue to stop spraying. So I'm spraying this roach/roaches for about 3 seconds (which seems like a long time), and then they start heading to the back of the microwave. After this time I could hear them trying to move around or something....very creepy. Shortly after they appeared at the edge of the countertop (behind the microwave). They dangled for a minute, fell to the floor, and moved to the back of the fridge.
Anyway, the whole time they were joined in catdog fashion, so it seemed very strange. Normally a roach will just take off very quickly and you'll never see it again unless you really make an effort. Anyway, I'm sure the poison will get to them. Even if what I sprayed doesn't do it, the pesticide that I sprayed a few weeks ago is usually effective when the bugs are on the floor.
In other news, I'm kinda happy. The PS3 had a price drop about 2 days after I sold mine! This means that if I had waited any longer on sellng it I probably would have gotten even less. This also means that if I decide to buy one again once I'm back on my feet...that I can get a new one for about the same price that I sold it.
Other reasons to be happy? I was one of the first to see the new Harry Potter movie yesterday in IMAX 3d ...and in good company. :o) My friend Mike scored some tickets and we camped out in line for a couple of hours. I got a free poster too!
I still have no regular job yet, but I have little temp jobs to do until the end of the month. In the meantime there is ebay and craigslist. I love craigslist. Here is a link to the san antonio craigslist. Maybe there is one in your area?
