bzzzz CHOMP

i'm back from paris... yay for paris, boo for being back.

but before i expound about the wonders and loveliness-es of my trip and the city of lights, i have a problem:

there's a blasted, maddening, ginormous mosquito that's been chomping at my legs and arms for the past month. honestly, a whole month. i leave for a week, and when i get back, it's STILL here. don't mosquitoes have short lifespans?!?! apparently not.

it's HUGE. and striped. and it bzzzz's in my ear, taunting me to slap at it. so i finally did and managed to swipe some blood (probably my own) from the damn bug. but i don't actually know if it's dead 'cause i can't find its big scary body on the patterned carpet of the office.

i'm so serious, there's a mutant mosquito haunting my cubicle. shudder...help.
