Hello kids. I am afraid I must write you of something more serious than spider problems. Although I am still searching for a product that will create the ultimate spider nuclear holocaust.
Turns out, my friend Fathead has contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick. Approximately 800 people a year worldwide get this disease and it is a bit of a problem. It was misdiagnosed 3 times, he had to go to the hospital with a fever of 106, he threw up for weeks and turned jaundiced. Because it went undiagnosed for so long, he has possibly suffered permanent liver damage and could need a transplant. I have informed him that if he needs a transplant, and I am a match, he can have half of my liver. This is a standing offer for any of you that read my journal. If you ever need an organ, look me up.
Anyway, prayers would be appreciated, and I think the only appropriate prayer given the situation and the sick person goes a little something like this:
Dear God,
Please let Fathead recover from the Tick Bite Of Doom and be back to normal and drinking beer in no time. Please heal his liver to a state even better than it was before, and let Lacey's liver remain in her abdomen.
Sincerely,
(your name here)

Ventured next door to discuss spiders with maintenance guy.
Me: "Um, Andrew? I have spiders."
HIM: "What kind?"
Me: "Brown. Scary. Large."
HIM: "How large?"
ME: "Quarter-size."
HIM: "Thta's not large. Are they annoying you?"
ME: "Annoying? I find them problematic, if that's what you're asking. The dog is afraid of them."
And so, he informs me, that we should not bug bomb if at all possible because my ceiling is sort of...um...porous and the spray could effect the people above me. So they are bringing me an economy-size can of Raid.
edit: I called my dad and he killed a spider when he was here and just didn't tell me about it. That makes FIVE spiders in three weeks. Definite infestation. |

Called Landlord today to report spider infestation. They sort of scoffed. Apparently 4 (quarter-size, brown, menacing) spiders (IN THE VICINITY OF MY BED) in the course of 3 weeks does not qualify as "infestation." Off to hardware store to purchase awful violent pesticide to cause spider genocide while still being safe for Hallie. |

I'm back in Spokane. I don't have functional air conditioning yet and we're in the middle of a heat wave. The puppy can't pant and lick me at the same time, and sometimes she gets all flustered and sneezes. I put ice cubes in her water bowl when I go to work, and I leave the fan on for her during the day.
FreeHand MX makes me very angry at work, but I still have pretty much the best job ever. My supervisor, Molly, promised me that I can make an illustration out of clay if I want, and sometimes when I'm working on something I get paid to look at best of design books for an hour or so. I have a desk, a drafting table, a Mac and a PC, the newest version of Creative Suite and two huge windows that face Riverside Drive. I'm re-learning CCI and it's not nearly as bothersome as it was last time.
I love Diet Snapple iced tea and I miss my dad. |

Hallie likes to nap at inappropriate times, just like her mommy.

I know that a time comes in every young person's life when moving means more than throwing his or her belongings into Corona and Smirnoff boxes pilfered from the liquor store. (Or, in my case, coerced from the clerk at RJ's Spirits & Car Wash in Americus.)
That time is not age 22, when the moving truck comes tomorrow.
With any luck, there will be no further packing tape injuries. |

Oh look! It is Le Pup! This is Hallie, who is a 2-year-old dalmation/lab mix. We enjoy many of the same activities, including sleeping, snuggling, going for long walks and watching the History channel. She is supremely disinterested in playing with the toys I have bought her. She likes to eat lint from the dryer. She does not like loud noises. We frolic outdoors a lot.

Oh, P.S. - No more grad school for now. Moving to Spokane, Washington instead to start career in newspaper biz. Plan to save money, make dent in student loans, spend lots of time riding bike and exploring. Maybe start grad school next fall or in two years. Will re-take GRE and hopefully get into Columbia in NYC.
Also I have a new puppy. Her name is Hallie and she is two years old. She's a mutt, part Dalmation. We enjoy many of the same things, such as snuggling, napping, eating and going for long walks. Pictures soon to follow. |
