I have high hopes that my itchy nightmare is almost behind me, as my apartment gets fumigated in the morning. I am trying to put all of my clothing/shoes/bedding I'm not currently using through the dryer to kill anything that may be living on it. This has been hell. Those damn bugs need to vacate my apartment IMMEDIATELY.

In other news, I started training for a new project at work. It's going to be super high profile and fall almost completely on my shoulders, so I'm sure I will be a complete and total mess by mid-June, when everything has ramped up. Training isn't going too badly, though, so that's a plus. My brain is slightly fried, however. I'm glad my trainer cancelled tomorrow's session.

My parents are coming down here on Sat. for a baseball game (we've gone to a game for my dad's birthday for about four years running now) and to help me put mattress cases on my bed. I'm looking forward to it since it's been a crappy week dealing with this bed bug nightmare. Tomorrow I'm going to a gallery/mural showing for Shepard Fairey, who just painted a massive mural on the side of one of the buildings downtown. I'm pretty psyched.

Well, I have to go move some furniture away from the walls, so I hope you all have something super planned for le weekend!

THANKS BOO, I LOVE YOU TOO.

Good luck with the fumigation!! I hope it goes well!

Who are the tigers playing on Saturday?

[last_empress]

Thank you, me too! I have a small place, so I'm hoping it'll kill them quick and I won't have to be out for long.

The Tigers are playing the Astros, who they beat today with an 11th inning walk off home run. :D

[owlsaremonsters]

DIE BUGS DIE. Keep us updated how the apartment is doing!

Oh I hope the game you go to is just as exciting as that one! Why does Detroit have a ferris wheel? Or something like that? Am I crazy or did you say that they did have one?

[last_empress]

I will definitely be letting you all know if/when I am bug freeee. I just cleaned out a drawer and found a bug skeleton. So gross.

Haha you are not crazy. We have a ferris wheel and merry go round in the park. I have no idea why, other than that the owners are made of money (they also own the Red Wings and Little Caesar's Pizza), so they put a ton of money into the park. I'm glad they did because it makes a ton of people visit and spend money here. ;) I just googled the old park, and apparently it opened the same day as Fenway! Fun fact.

[owlsaremonsters]

Okay your ballpark sounds awesome and now I really want to go visit it, though that will probably have to wait for another summer at least.

[last_empress]

Yes! You should definitely come check it out. I would be happy to be your tour guide. :)

[owlsaremonsters]

And if the old park opened the same day as Fenway - that means they both opened the week that the Titanic sank

I've spent the evening watching youtube videos of people hitting for the cycle. This is unrelated to almost everything but this is the most appropriate place to place it.

[last_empress]

Here's something unrelated to that and this thread in general: I just found a notebook full of Sale and Pelletier fanfiction. #julesprobs

[throwingpens]

omg yesssssss. hand-written?

[last_empress]

Completely hand written, spiral bound notebook style. Circa 2002 (natch).

[throwingpens]

I LOVE IT

was it any good?

[last_empress]

Oh god, no. It was terrible (writing, though I used to love it, was never something I was good at, unfortunately).
