news from the frontline

To my supporters at home,

I am at war. At this moment, I am engaged in an epic battle of miniscule proportions. The armies attack on all fronts. The body count is high, but my will shall not be bent. I shall not surrender, not until every last ant is dead.

I may or may not have left a few items of food out at one time, but what is certain is that I was for a short while completely over run. The kitchen, the living room, the computer room. They were just about everywhere except my bed (a point I was quite thankful for). I might even be convinced that these were elite special forces ninja ants. One day last week, I had one of my now mildly famous bowls of sugar rice. I set the bowl down on my trunk coffee table, which was quite free of ants at the time. I was then gone for all of 2 minutes to check my email. When I came back, the bowl was simply full of ants: ants who where soon to learn that they couldn’t swim. The tide seems to have turned now though. Thankfully I have only killed about 10 ants today, so things are looking up.
