Spiders
I awoke from a nap this evening to see the first huge spider (think a bit bigger than a golf ball) gracing my wall sitting in the shadows. Last year I seemed to have a real problem with spiders, but as Japanese people tried to convince me of, spiders are good so having them around isn't really a problem. But I've yet to find the symbiotic happy medium where I can co-exist with spiders in my cramped little apartment. So the spiders I find usually become clean bits of garbage as I empty entire bottles of household cleaners to drown them. Just call me the Lemon scent spider hunter. I think having huge spiders around, even though I absolutely hate them, is much better than either cockroaches or mukade, the Japanese psychotic centipedes. With cockroaches, your apartment must be dirty, and with mukade, well that's just wrong. Since there's no reason that spiders enter my apartment, and since they are a little beneficial, I can live with seeing huge ones every so often. 2005 spider score: Kyle 1 Spiders 0.
