Halloween is over, and I didn't get any free candy. I did see a fun-size milky way sitting on the ground outside the CVS. However, deciding that it was most definitely poisoned, I didn't partake in its celestial fusion of chocolate and what-ever-the-hell else is in a milky way these days.
Later, I saw some lady dressed up as a fireman, but when I asked her the primary method of egress during a multi-level burn, she just stared at me. Fireman indeed.
There's a young mouse slowly dying under the radiator in our living room. He tragically found his way to the sticky rat trap a roommate set out. Apparently sunflower seeds are a delicacy worth the risk of one's life. I'm glad all they cost me is a dollar fifteen at 7-11. I discovered the little guy about two days ago when I investigated this strange squeaking noise I heard while watching reruns of the Colbert Report. I peered under the whitewashed radiator and found the creature completely adhered to the adhesive. It appeared that in an attempt to free a leg through the use of leverage, the mouse permanently glued his face down. I picked up the trap and the mouse squirmed wildly. Not knowing what to do, I put the occupied trap back where I found it.
Out of sight, out of mind, right?
