neet?

a new friend

So this is a brown recluse. note the 3 sets of eyes. ok.
we had a little fellow move in on the bathroom sink. i guess perhaps the bathroom is a nice neighborhood because we've got someone else at the ceiling corner just above the sink there. that guy has been doing well. i don't know why i assume they are male. AAanyhow, we have been joking that its a brown recluse and its markings are such that i was starting to wonder if the joke was accurate.

its not.
what we have, i don't know. its small and brown and has a white hourglass on its belly and white knee stripes.
its a mystery. the usual avenues of research turned up little more than "possibly a brown widow" and "JUST KILL IT"
neither of which are suitable to my needs. i'm pretty sure its not a brown widow. doesnt have that widow shape.
as long as it stays there in its web by the sink i think we can get along. i hope it has success in catching enough to eat.

the story of how the house got to smelling of bleach at midnight:

there was an unplanned kitchen bleaching.
because of all the poison we sprayed everywhere
to kill the cockroaches
who came out of the piece of free furniture which we discovered and dragged home in two awkward and adventurous trips

and heaved into the house
and 20 seconds into the initial cleaning of said furniture it was apparent. crawling. icky. shudder-worthy even.

i'm a dead shot with a can of roach poison. (har har)
john stomped on some
it was a fire fight!! (conjure if you will, willem dafoe, on his knees, in the boondock saints)

Dear people who put furniture on the side of the road marked "FREE"
if it is infested with cockroaches, it would be nice of you to warn us.
i guess its not Required. whatever. so we doused it in a healthy dose of Raid and dragged it out into the back yard where it will remain until we are able to firebomb that shit and make it liveable.

Because once i get over the squickiness ofitss former life, its and AWESOME ANTIQUE KITCHEN COUNTER>
