Me: 1 Mutant Rats: 0
Turns out the dryer was not connected to the vent to the outside. This is more or less like having put a giant neon sign pointing at the vent saying "WELCOME MUTANT RATS!" So I cleaned behind the washer and dryer and re-attached the hose to the dryer. Then last night I stuffed the vent with an old towel. BUFFET IS CLOSED BITCHES! And voila! No mutant rat poop this morning. Also, the exterminator put several "sticky" mouse traps (like fly paper for mice?) around the kitchen and laundry room. And one honest-to-goodness Tom-and-Jerry old fashioned mousetrap behind the dryer where we won't accidentally step on it. Alas, there is no actual cheese on this trap but there is a cheese-shaped plastic thing on it. If I didn't want to think about what was going to happen to a mouse that stepped on the sticky trap, I really really really don't want to think about what will happen if a mouse steps in the old fashioned trap.
In other news, I watched Knowing last night. Yes, I had an inkling as to how bad it would be. I didn't expect Roland Emmerich to randomly show up to direct the last 20 minutes or so. And are you kidding me with the deus ex machina ending? Then again, if other religions can have their own religiously symbolic movies (I'm looking at you Aslan!), why can't Scientology?
I'm trying to decide if Knowing was worse than Passengers, which decided that the one thing that was missing from The Sixth Sense was romantic comedy. Unfortunately I think Knowing might win out as the better movie. Stupid as it was, it was at least mildly entertaining before the last few minutes. Passengers felt like it was being directed by M. Night Shyamalan with a script by Nora Ephron.
