Update

Air conditioners are back in working order. Now I am freezing. If I had balls they’d be frozen off right now.

My “little friend” in the Tupperware was “dealt with.” Now every single time I go to the bathroom I peep my head in the bathtub just to make sure I have not made more friends. Investment in compressed air, hairspray and a lighter, or plain old Raid is being considered.

I want potato chips.

And Fig Newtons are still delicious.

    annie: if it was really about the humidity, them A/C HELL freezing over can only be explained as the just-ICE for veiling this fact in your heated nouncement about 97 temperature degrees.

    just deliver the bad news straight up. dew points in this case. goodkarma and goodwill then would come to you, in this case, it could be in the form of someones loaner balls to help thru this frosty crisis…as long, of course, as it would not involve any time in prison.

    oh annie, why you so crazy!? (in your moms accent)

    The other day I went into a pub with my friends visiting. At some point I had to leave for 5 minutes to pick up more people and during that time someone came over my friends’ table and asked about their “little friend” that had just left (which was me).

    Since that moment all my friends call me “little friend”, now that you have written it down I wonder if I may look like a cockroach..mmm, I usually dress grey/black…..

    hhmm…it is imprightening that my life is sometimes very coincidental with Annie’s…my a/c was also fixed recently and i’m also freezing my ass off. the night before it was fixed, basically the central a/c motor exploded and tripped the power in my apt.

    @pedro: dressing grey/black = trying so hard to be an architect. :p…yes…you little thing…go make friends with little ppl like annie :p

    OK so maybe i’m young and part of the “dumb generation” but what does “imprightening” mean? i looked it up on dictionary.com AND looked in my dictionary and it doesn’t exist. unless it’s misspelled. then i sound like a twerp. which, you know, happens.

    side note: fig newtons? i haven’t eaten one in a very long time.

    Jon: I am sure I can get balls in NYC.

    Ramon: I got it from her.

    Pedro: Oh no, they were talking about the cockroach that was also sitting at the table with you guys.

    Fly: Stop being me. Doretta is technically me so that spot has been filled.

    Lanna: I made up the word as a combo of impressed and frightened. It’s in some lame post somewhere.

  7. jon:

    annie’s got game!

  8. FLY:

    i will try…maybe i’ll fulfill the non-technical side of you since Doretta has taken the technical side :D

  9. Bryan:

    My mouse is safely on its way to a landfill. Glad to here you took care of your little house guest. They’re so rude, they don’t even show up with a bottle of booze.

  10. Ramon:
