Spiders

I was waiting in the front entry of our house for Gus to come home when a small spider caught my eye. It was situated at the top of the wall, just below the ceiling. I had noticed it on several occassions before, I'm not sure how long ago. So of course it was dead.

Instead of ignoring it like I always did, I decided to finally get rid of it using the edge of one of those Swiffer mops. But instead of knocking it out of the corner like I planned, I ended up smashing it and smearing its guts everywhere. So now instead of a dead spider, there's a crusty black streak.

Also, I was taking a shower in our nasty-ass bathtub and noticed a spider hanging out in the corner where we keep all our shower stuff. This one is supposed to be dead (it had also been in its respective corner for ages), but sacre bleu! He had risen from the grave! He was crawlin' around... doing stuff... I left it alone, but Gus will probably kill it when he reads this. Incidentally, Gus should also call Merry Maids when he reads this because our shower is freakin' disgusting.
