So it’s hot again today (did I mention yesterday that it was terribly hot out? Well we broke down and turned the a/c back on, yay! So it’s not unbarably hot in here anymore %) We did find out where our little ant problem came from (somewhat)… oh did I explain the ant problem? Well, since moving in we have had all sorts of ants, in the bathroom, computer room and a few in the dining room, each time Myk (who HATES bugs) has gone all crazy cleaning spree, I mean our place is really clean anyway (cept for my desk) but this is like, bleach and moving everything cleaning. Spraying tons of ant spray, putting down traps, etc. And nothing has worked, even the exterminater that came like 3 months ago didnt seem to help. So today when Myk went to work he found TONS of ants by our front door, apparently they must be getting in somehow from their swarms (what do you call a group of ants?) outside, and getting in through cracks n stuff to get in our house. Yuck! I called the leasing office this morning to see if we could get an exterminator to come and take a look, I am getting a bit sick of bugs AND raid fumes.. even if it is “Unscented” or “Country Fresh” Raid, it still gives me headaches. Anyway, I went outside this morning, with a can of raid, and sprayed around the front door, in an effort to thwart their entrance for the time being, and stupidly I let the door close behind me. So there I am, it’s 85 degrees out, a can of Raid in my hand and I cant get into my apartment. SO I put the can down and walked up to the leasing office and signed out a key to my apartment. It’s only a 5 minute walk, but with 50% humidity and how hot it was it wasnt exactly pleasant. So I got back here, grabbed my key and brought the other one back to the leasing office, after which I was very hot and crankie, hehe.

Speaking of crankie I got annoyed by this kid I devoiced in #13thHour yesterday (in #13thour our chat is moderated, meaning you can only talk if we give you voice)… See, i was giving this kid a chance ’cause he had a friend or two in the room, but then yesterday he msg’ed me, all coming on to me n stuff and i was like “uhhh, no?” THEN he sent me to a site with pictures of him on it, and then to a “special page” where it showed naked pics of him!!! EWWW, luckily he warned me of this before I even thought of going, pics of naked 15 year olds isnt exactly something I enjoy *gross* … So then my little sis comes in the room and he shows HER the pictures!!! My little sis is only 13!!! When I found this out I was so pissed that I devoiced him. SO then this morning he comes into the room, without being able to talk, and just stays there… then he messages me “you should get a firewall” and OBVIOUS threat. So I kicked him from the room, so sick of his crap. Then he starts pm’ing me with all this “you are a whore” “you are ugly” “you have no friends” traditional lamer crap… on top of all this he spoofed the room (joined so he could see what we were saying but we couldnt see him), unfortunately for him I can see spoofs with the chat client I am using, so I just kept kicking him. It was just annoying, not the type of crap I want to deal with, that’s why my room is moderated! Freaking kids… On the bright side I reported his page to geocities under “pornography/nakedness” So he hopefully wont be terrorizing anymore girls with that crap.

Hmmm… oh I probably havent mentioned my reading habits lately (oh god I’m boring)… but I finished book 2 and 3 of The Malloreon series that I was reading, of course I mentioned earlier that I dont have book 4… so i ordered it from bn.com (barnes & noble), as well as the third wheel of time book… ’cause if you buy 2 or more items you get free shipping, so it turns out to be cheaper than actually going to the store, no tax! So I got an email today that those were shipped today, should get here within 3-8 business days. In the meantime I looked on my shelf to find something I hadnt read, and found Preternatural by Margaret Wander Bonanno. Well it pretty much sucks. Maybe I am too used to reading really good, best selling type books that something like this really shocked me? I guess I’ll say a bit about it (if I can) … It’s very VERY confusing, on page 85 the book asks you “are you still with us? Here is a recap…” from what I gather it’s “written” by these alien jellyfish things that live inside all the characters of the story’s minds. Yep. Bonanno, isnt that the name of a former NYC crime boss or something? Yeah, is THAT why she got her book published?! I searched amazon.com to see if this book was even still in print, and there are two sequals! I read some of the reviews, and although most of them say it’s good, I tend to agree with this reader:

“I have a hard time even describing how much I disliked this book. It is, hands down, the worst book I have read in years…boring, boring, boring.”

I am not sure I’ll finish it. It alludes to star trek type scifi in some of the characters, and I’m really not into that. Yuck!

So after telling Myk how stupid the book was last night he pulled down a could books by Robert Anton Wilson. Apparently he’s a social philosopher (i guess that’s what you’d call him) who explores the mind in his own views… reaching from the depths of existance to pull up reasons for how we think, etc. It’s very entertaining, funny at times, and deadly serious at others. SO i’m currently reading Quantum Psychology and although some of the references to psychologists allude me(with the exception of freud of course) he makes understanding his point very easy for most anyone. Apparently he has come under lots of critizism since he has non-traditonal views, but it’s all very interesting, and I’m pretty much open to most things, this is really kewl… and it’s not very long, I might read it again after this to get stuff I missed the first time around. Its definately one of those books I should read every year or so… I’ll have to look into more about this author…

Hmmm what else? Bleh this is long! Hehe… OH! The official release date for that goddamned patch is friday. It took them over 1 1/2 weeks to release it! Big meanies, in the meantime I have a whole week where I cant even access my site, AND other sites are being DoS’ed waiting for this stupid patch *grumbles* Anyway, I guess I can stop my complaining since at least they have a release date now… Now hopefully they will have it out by then, or I’ll be screaming again, hehe.

I guess that’s it for noew (heh, long entry!) I am gonna go wander off and study summore perl, because I need to and I havent been, I’ve been doing things like playing with my neopet and playing with cute images, lol.. oh and writing in my goddamned weblog ;)…
