Does Utah even have cockroaches? I swear I don't remember any. That is to say that I don't recall any experiences like the one from this last Wednesday morning when I was opening my eyes after rinsing the soap out of my hair and coming nose to antennae with a roach on the shower wall. There is nothing quite like it really. It makes me think that maybe all those crazy terrible sci-fi movies like...I don't know maybe The Cockroach that Ate Cinncinati or RoboRoach seem a bit more relevant and threatening. I will say though that the cinematic drama of this experience was a little anti-climactic when the pest control guy came and he was nothing like the hard core John Goodman exterminator. But he did fill up our apartment with something toxic smelling and the roaches have been gradually emerging from their dark hiding places, laying on their backs, and going stiff on our floors. So he did get the job done as far as I can tell. It's just seems a shame that Mr. Ed Wood wasn't around before we gased them. I am sure he could have used this for some raw footage to make a new film to add to his repetoire.

Yee Haw!
How is this for feeling like a good and proper Texas resident? Matt and I got our Lone Star plates...
Now all I need to do to fit in more on the roads here is to abstain from using my blinker while changing lanes.
Oh and the best news. The super greatest part about Texas life now is that I have a job doing this. You see that lady's name Marilyn? Well, I am the new Marilyn. That is to say I am the new cataloguer and assistant librarian at Cedar Park High School. Yep, and thus I am awesome ....er... something.
