HOLY JESUS WHAT IS THIS GODDAMNED ANIMAL

[spatch]

IT CRAWLED ALONG THE WALL WHEN I WAS LOOKING
IT HAS ABOUT A ZILLION LEGS, IS MAYBE AN INCH LONG, AND LOOKS ALMOST FURRY

BLURRY CLOSE-UP OF FREAKY-LOOKING BUG IS AT THIS LINK I SWEAR TO GOD DON'T CLICK IF YOU GET SQUEAMISH, THIS GODDAMN THING IS LOVECRAFTIAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

DEAR GOD WHERE DID IT GO
IT'S NOT IN THE CORNER ANYMORE


edit: it's now ABOVE MY HEAD LORDY IT COULD JUMP AT ANY MOMENT
Abbie sees it and he is none too pleased with it either. AM READYING THE SMUSHY-THING AND THE DUSTPAN FOR QUICK DISPOSAL

edit 2: I smushed it. It ran. My god it could move. I had a styrofoam brick-thing from the TV set box and I just started smacking at it. It was above my door. It left a smudge on the wall. At least the smudge means it's D-E-D. Christ, I'm leaving it there and going to bed.


though I must say I'm very impressed that I got the cameraphone so close to the goddamn thing. if it had moved while I was near, though, lordy we'd have had A Real Situation On Our Hands.

Oh man, in the first house that I lived in with my parents, those things LIVED in my room. Imagine going up to your room and turning on the light to see on curled up in the corner...or waking up in the middle of the night to see a dark smudge on the wall that wasn't there before....or having one FALL ON YOUR ARM.

UUUUGGGH.

I will never paint walls with anything rougher than semigloss. They can't climb it on a smooth wall. At least the big ones can't. My basement has one bit of wall that is exposed cinderblock painted over, and that's the only place I ever see them higher than my head.
