Help me I am in hell

We have fly problem. It might stem from the recent drop in the mouse population. Or one of us might have sold our soul to Satan and his minders are watching their investment. I think we assassinate +50 a day. They are outside too, trying to get in through the screens. I'm getting fairly good at swatting them mid-air, and catching them with my hand, but not yet to the chopsticks point.

We've stopped killing spiders, hoping they'll help.

One of those big sort of black widowy looking spiders, but not, lives in the laundry room window on Opus. I flicked a large fly in his (I hope) web. Nature is pretty gruesome. It's pretty bad when I kill them with 409 or Simple Green, but not nearly as horrible as watching the spider dispose of it. It buzzed for a really long time.

Hey [livejournal.com profile] elusis and any other educator out there:

I'm on hour 9 of a 4 page paper (I'm @ 3.5!).

How long do you expect a 4 page "contrast and compare these two research papers" to take a "normal" senior kid?
