It's 6 am here. Another cycle of sleep killed before it's expiration date.
By the sound of a cricket.
Now, I have a big wardrobe in my dorm-room; or rather two wardrobes put next to each other. They are nailed to the wall individually. Previously, when my L.parahybana escaped, I had to release one from the wall by drawing out the 5"-or-so screw. This took maybe 3 hours all in all, spread over a day, because without chopping the bloody wardrobe to bits, it's impossible stand in a natural position and do it, and besides, the threads of the screw wore out after ~1". See the screw is very firmly fixed in the wall, and I don't have a screwdriver to fit it exactly..one is a little bit too big, one too small.
So anyway, yesterday (or the day before, or the week before; time has almost lost its meaning) this cricket started playing in the middle of the night from behind one of the wardrobes(this I concluded after half an hour search in the middle of the night when I wanted nothing as much as to buy a flamethrower, or possibly, a small tactical nuclear weapon). Of course, (of course), it wasn't behind the loose one.
Now, I don't know what to do. I've already caused enough damage on this room to give me a hefty bill. My 'trap' (a piece of apple and some wrapped up paper at the 'entrance' to behind the wardrobe; the small gap between wardrobe and wall on either side of it at its base) didn't work. I might be able to pour liquid behind it..can't think of much else. Would water mixed with alcohol..I don't know, horribly incapacitate it? It feels like I will die before it dies, so pray come up with some grand ideas.
