the ants launched a surprise attack while i was away. but the foolish ants merely attacked my desk and bedroom, and missed the kitchen entirely. i think my vacuum-cleaner and bug-spray counter-attack has beaten them back, but we'll see.

i know i'm a bit late to the party, but i read fast food nation on my plane-ride back home. it's not hard to understand why the book would push some people over the edge into vegetarianism. (but i think the biggest impact of the book on me was to expand my distaste for the agricultural industry. hooked on government subsidies, and crooked as a barrel of snakes.)
