DAMN.

I've been out of my house for about 4 - 5 days. I just stepped in, and I noticed a cup with flowers I placed on my night table. I peered in and noticed a little thin thread-like thing sticking out, so I looked a little closer. As I gave the cup a nudge, a cockroach popped out and ran down the side of my night table, disappearing behind it.

CRAP. I have a cockroach. ARGH. I hate cockroaches, and until now, my place seemed free of them. Online, solutions seems to be to mix borax with powdered sugar or cocoa powder. Hmm... but since I'm not much into making my own poison (plus the fact that I don't know where to get borax), I'm going to head down to a store to buy some poison.

CRUD.
