My Little Roommate


spidey-sm.jpgEven though I never planned on it, I have a little roommate. He doesn't take up much space, and he lives under the sink in my bathroom. He's usually comes out to greet me in the morning, but ducks back in before I start my shower. I don't know whether he doesn't like the humidity, or if he's just respecting my modesty.

So far, I haven't seen him catch anything to eat. My house is pretty clean, so it must be meager pickings, especially in the bathroom. I've had this annoying little 'miller moth' flapping around for the past few days, but he rarely flies into the bathroom. I tried catching him with a cup, but he's just to fast and erratic. I also tried steering him into spidey's web, but herding miller moths is more difficult than herding cats.

I know that Acidman would say I'm 'bore blogging' but I see it differently. The little guy genuinely fascinates me, and I'm sure that somewhere out there, a spider lover appreciates this post.

FOOTNOTES: Sorry about the quality of the pic. Taking a picture of a tiny spider with a digital camera is extremely difficult. Even using the macro feature, the camera just wouldn't focus on the little guy. To keep it from being a total blur, I had to fix the focus at a half meter, and position the camera that far away.

You really are bored since you moved from Ohio, aren't you?

Tell Acidman to fuck off. He's the king of the bore blog. Or rather the whiny blog

I think it's cool. I captured a spider when I lived in some low rent housing in Virginia. I used to feed it cockroaches. A good time was had by all.
