I did end up driving Mark downtown; dropped him off before hitting Krogers; came back for him, and went to LC. Then home. I watched more episodes of SVU. Slept until about 8pm. My mother called to remind me about the rehearsal tonight. I spoke to Michael and Mark. I watched more Designing Women. I worked on the cyber farm(s). I chatted on gay.com briefly; more of a hello than anything else. Played Spider Solitaire. Listened to Music. Had an interesting exchange with Michael; I hope he'll be alright.

Later, I captured a large bug in my room. My room, and our home in general have been invaded by spiders fairly often...we have the occasional set of teeny, tiny ants. We have random flying insects that get in when we open the front door, but I've made my peace with all of that and it doesn't bother me overly much. This thing was huge though...and was near some food I was eating, which disgusted me. When I went to capture it, it escaped, and I started cleaning. I found it eventually, and caught it. I think it's somekind of beatle. I'm not sure though. I'll show it to Mark, though I think it will freak him out - maybe he'll know what it is. I've not seen anything like it before, really, but it's large. Ick.

I threw out all the food that the bug could have come in contact with (anything that was open). I'm now washing my sheets, and clothes that were on the floor. Then my towels.

I also boxed up all of my Xanth books. I had intended to read the entire series, but having read the first 4 volumes I find that I really don't like the the series overly much. The later volumes that I had read years before (volumes 10-15), and enjoyed, had inspired me to collect the series with the hope that I'd love the entire run, which would have been nice considering they are on 32 or 33 by now...only I don't love the entire run, which is very disappointing. Perhaps I'll revisit the later volumes someday as I have happy memories of a few of them (#14: 'Question Quest' being my favorite).

I made room on my shelf for the upcoming paperback release of 'Paul of Dune'. I believe I'll read more of the Dune series soon, and that volume is one I'd very much like to read as it takes place between two installments that I've read in the past. I also added to the shelf, the 2 movies of Dune that I have (the 1984 David Lynch Dune, and the Sci-Fi 'Children of Dune' series).

I have more Designing Women & SVU to watch.
