Ch-ch-ch-ch-change of plans! I get the readymade portfolio with the plastic sleeves now, and mom is making one for the midterm. I have more to do in the next few days than she does, so she volunteered to be The One Who Makes The Portfolio.

I'm so relieved.

Tonight when I was driving home over the bridge, I looked out the window at the car in the other lane. It was driven by two young alterna-guys, tshirts and shaved or buzzed hair, etc. Suddenly they went wild, headbanging and flailing their arms around... even the driver. It was the cutest thing, honestly. It was obvious that they were listening to a favorite song on the car stereo - I could hear snatches and hints of it - and that this was their routine. No matter what, no matter where, you must mosh.

DIE PEDES DIE!

We called the exterminator, but they won't come til Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, we're still infested. I just killed two a few minutes ago. I still haven't figured out whether they're centipedes or millipedes, but I'm not keen on checking out bug sites to find out more.

Two things, though. They seem to have no vertical abilities... if you put something in front of them they'll crawl around it rather than over it, and the only place I've seen them is the floor. They're also really really hard to kill. I jumped on one with my full weight on the carpet and it got up and walked away. Kill them on a hard surface and it makes a really loud sickening CRUNCH. To kill them on carpet you have to grind with your foot... which I cannot bear to do.

I will be so happy when this is over.
