TINY LITTLE TURDS

I started getting these tiny little turds in my desk drawers. I didn't even really know what they were at first, that is until they started popping up every single morning even after I had cleaned it up the day before. So there I had it. Turds. Kept returning. Had to call pest control -- what else was I supposed to do? At first I thought they were too small to belong to a mouse, but the pest experts assured me that they were... So they set up 3 of the snapping traps (inside boxes with two entrances) and a poisonous nibble underneath the sink. I was real nervous. Gross! Sure enough the next morning, I found my culprit. Eww!!! I was so grossed out about the idea before about catching the mouse, but I have this stupid morbid curiosity that got me looking at the mouse from both angles -- that's front and back, tail and whiskers. Poor guy. I threw him away. I hope I don't see any more turds/mice tomorrow when I go to lab.

More about grand adventure to Europe to come.
Gasp! Returned to the US to find Brangelina had their baby! The Paris papers said nothing about their visit back for a medical checkup... WHAAAT... they don't care? (not that I can read a French newspaper, but I can certainly identify American celebrities on magazine covers, yes I can)

Since this post, we now have a pet mouse named Stewie. Kind of ironic, don't you think?
