my worst fear realized

i just came home from the gym to find a gerbil sized cockroach face-up on my tile floor. there is nothing i fear or despise more on this planet. island roaches are ungodly creatures, easily 2-3 times the size of anything i've had the displeasure of seeing in the states (except of course in hawaii last summer...).

after some words of encouragement (thanks doobie) i was able to sweep the beast out my front door. thankfully it did not wake up. i've spent the last hour tip toeing around my apartment searching for hidden crumbs or anything that might attract future unwanted visitors.

i think it might be a 2 ambien night.
