and i'm not talking the cartoon chef kind.

oh good lord.  i just went to get my laundry, which requires passing through the other part of the basement, and i saw not one, but two rats.  just hanging out.  the problem is, this part of the basement runs right up to my front door and all along the walls of my apt.  now i am freaked these s.o.b.s will try to get in.  terrified, actually.  i've got towels shoved under every door.  if they're gonna come and get me, they have a lot of heavy lifting to do.  the end.  i'm scared.  if i never post another blog again, you know what's happened...
