Last night, I had an intimation of Apocalypse. I'm in the garage, puttering away at the latest delay-ridden garage improvement project (as I'm being kicked out of my backroom armory and generalized paranoia parlor) (on account of the Critter is coming) when I see a small brown shape scurrying among the scrap ply. It struck me as somehow vaguely familiar. Dysphoric Jungian chords are plucked in my brainstem. I take a closer look, and what do I behold...but a cockroach. Not one of our ubiquitous earwigs. First one I've seen in my eight years in this far-western clime. It's a sign that the gates of Recession are a'creakin open. Anyway, I undogged the aerosol equiv of a rolled-up Circuit City flier and let the pest have it. I'm still pretty unsettled though; it was nearly full-sized, and where there's one, there's a ton of'em. I'm rigging for siege. And this after I had to pitch a pound of pasta because of the dozen-or-so moth larvae looking like demon-animated mousepoops wriggling in the bottom of the box. Even paranoids have enemies.
