It took me a little while to figure out what I was seeing last night, but I witnessed a cockroach molting. At first I thought it was a very long white and brown bug, then I thought it was an albino cockroach and a normal cockroach humping (hey, if that's what you're into...), then as the fresh cockroach got a little distance from the shell of its former self, I finally figured it out. It's somewhat less inspiring than watching a butterfly emerge from its cocoon, as far as metaphors for transformation go. But the new fella sure looks fresh, doesn't he? I evicted him.http://picasaweb.google.com/laurelsuter/2007_11_26BugEncounter

here is a related story.
omg. that's the grossest thing i've ever seen! it was all crunched up in there too. was he wet when he came out? did you touch him? sorry i couldn't respond sooner, i was a travelin' about. but i like how seeing this cockroach incident reminded you of seeing (or not being able to unsee) the glockenspiel. which one do you think is worse?
Actually, I think we took his warning such to heart that I don't think I've seen the glockenspiel go off, ever, and I've been to Munich 2 times. With enough planning, it can be avoided. But maybe I did see it, and I can't remember, so is that the equivalent of unseeing it?
OMG! A few months ago I found what I thought was a dead tarantula in my sock drawer, only to later find out it was the exo-skeleton. He wasn't dead, he'd just grown bigger and was still aroudn.
Kiki just said "wow" four times in looking at the photo.
