Renewing last week's struggle, my newly acquired can of spray certainly got them all running and dying.

SWEET VICTORY AT LAST!
(It is just possible that there were fewer than 10,341 spiders - but only slighlty.)
Spartan Games will release Campaign Book: Hurricane Season, Large Landing Barge and Landing Platforms and Small Landing Barge Set - just after we had been talking at PAGS about the lack of integration between the land and sea versions of the game. Once we get the airborne transports, it will be really intergrated.

Today's Job of the Day was to get rid of all the spider webs on the outside of the house. When I got to the web brush it was covered in webs itself and there was a very large redback sitting on the handle, glaring malevolently at me. I went to get some flyspray but there was none in the house.

You may have won this round spiders but wait until next week when I buy some spray!

It was strange experience, watching this movie. This will probably be the big one for Joss - good box office movie numbers, lots of money for the studio and get him offers to make lots of other movies. The movie was big, dramatic, enormous in scope, wonderful SFX, good acting - and I could care less. There wasn't any moment where I cared about any character, the outcome any battle or, after a while, whether any character even lived or died. In short this wasn't a Joss movie for me.

I left feeling like I had watched a good superhero movie - that just about anyone could have written and directed. It will be sad if this the movie that gets Joss into the Hollywood A-league because he did it by not being Joss. Congratulations to Joss for a big movie - but it just wasn't my kind of movie.

Yes, I do indeed have conjunctivitis so it is eye drops and blurry vision for the next few days. The doctor also took an eye swab (there's another thing I can cross off my "It was never on my bucket list any way and, now that I have done it once, it's certainly not going to get added to that list" list) because we are "in the midst of an epidemic of viral conjunctivitis" (his exact words). If it does turn out to be viral, there will be some new eye drops and tablets to take. YAY!

ETA: having used the drops twice today, the eye does feel slightly less irritated so maybe it is just bacterial?

Woke this morning with my right eye on fire (metaphorically) and got told all day that my eye looked like crap. It got worse as the day wore on so I think it's off to the doctor for me tomorrow.
