There's an ant with wings wandering around in circles on my monitor, occasionally pausing to rub its back legs together in some sort of obscure ant-ish gesture. Oh, wait, it's gone now...
Actually got some cleaning done today. Tidied up, reorganized, and swept area around TV and under my bed. No evidence of further intruders found, thank goodness. Mammoth hole in closet has been temporarily (and badly) closed off with a sheet of drywall, mostly so the cats don't fall down into the storeroom beneath, because the pipe-work isn't done yet and the workmen allege to be returning for another session on Tuesday. Gyah, there goes another week shot to hell, I bet.
Watching the snippets of Saddam's day in court has made me profoundly uneasy; here's a guy who has exactly the shrewd eye for the importance of appearances that Bush et al lack, and I have the awful feeling that we're about to get rolled like a cheap drunk because our side doesn't understand the PR side of things on a deep enough level to take proper countermeasures. You don't usually rise to the position of dictator by being a doofus, after all.
I would say a few words about the passing of Marlon Brando, but at this point I am already so damned sick of hearing "Stella! STELLLAAA!" from the tv every few minutes that I think I'll give it a miss.
