A cricket has moved into my bedroom...and while I normally enjoy the sounds of nature, this dude is SO loud I can barely think. The question is: Which would I rather have? Him or the YELLING walla outside of my house? Hmmm.

*Right. Well, it is now time for me to go to bed and has been a few hours since I wrote this first part of the post in regard to the visiting cricket in my bedroom. I decided I would rather have the walla as at least after his yelling down the street he goes away. There was about a 20 second time period tonight when the cricket ceased to make, what do we call it chirping, noises...other wise he/she has been going solid for the last 4 hours or so. And I tell you, those 20 seconds of non-chirpage were almost unbelievable to me...I knew it wouldn't last however, and it didn't...it now seems even louder...I even kind of have a head ache...I guess this will be night 4 of wearing ear plugs to bed. I wish I could get a hold of this blasted creature and oh so lovingly move it OUTSIDE where it belongs! Or annihilate it, that would work too...
