lol ants

A few ants in the house do no harm, my dad says. I agree, but when you begin to have ants climbing on the table and on your legs, it may be time to take action. My mom didn’t want to use poisons, so we brought outside all the ants that were on the floor and put talc powder on the intersection between the window and the floor, since it seemed like they were coming from there. This confused them, but they eventually found out that they could enter from the other corner, and put talc there too. Problem solved.

After a while, we noticed that the ants were back. They were climbing on the wall so that they could enter the small hole from above without having to wade through the talc.

I’m beginning to think that the average ant is smarter than the average person.

UPDATE

This morning I bought a new mouse, but it sucked so much that I ended up opening again the old one to see if there was really nothing that could be done.

TURNS OUT THERE WAS

the component themselves were working, as evidenced by the fact that, once I opened the mouse, I could use the switches to click. The problem was that, since the left button is subjected to a lot of stress when I paint, draw or play, the trasmission part connected to the plastic body had worn out so much that it was pulverized in places and it was no longer reaching the switch. I put some duct tape on it and now it makes contact again :D

it was a good mouse :(

my mouse died :( it was a fine guy, spent seven years of life under my right hand. It began to have problems a few months ago, but I opened it and fixed it; however, I knew that its end was drawing near. Yesterday evening, the left button seemed to jump while clicking, and this morning it completely stopped working. There’s nothing I can do for it now. I unplugged it, but I always keep reaching for it and feel disappointed when my hand grabs the air. I’ll just put him on a shelf and let it rest.

I guess that tomorrow I’ll have to look for a substitute. It will be hard, though. It had just the right shape, size and weight for my tiny hand. And it was good-looking too, with its sides and bottom translucid and showing part of its inner workings. I don’t know if I will be able to find a worthy replacement for it in my parents’ tiny town, and if I won’t I’ll have to just buy the best approximation I can find and then look for a better one when I’m at Jacopo’s.

bawwwww my moooooouse

and then, a sudden rant

I’m sick and tired of seeing females define themselves as girl gamers and girl geeks. First they identify their person with their gender, then they get all pissed when someone else does the same with them because that’s sexist.

I just watched the ep. The one with Volkner and Flint. I’m sweated, shaking all over, I still see the pictures behind my eyes.
It was so beautiful. They were just as I always imagined them to be. Their story was the one I imagined for them. Their voices were just as I expected them to be. Even the way the moved.

Continues under here, spoilers

“My relationship to Flint? There’s no love lost, that’s for sure.”
