Ode to Life in the Big City

read as if this was a poem, and not just my crazy writing style)
i have a mouse
who lives in my house
he is gray and wee
i wish he would flee
we met late last night
he gave me a fright
as he scurried 'cross my floor
i screamed out in horror
life in the city
not too damn pretty
SJP never had the problem i see
her rent-controlled apt. on color TV

ok, that's the extent of my rhyming
and now the update
i have a humane trap in my apt
so hopefully my little friend likes chips ahoy
b/c that's my bait
i also bought something on the internet
that sounds out high pitched frequencies
and vibrations in the wall
we shall see
(hopefully no more mice)

so i'm in full august swing
RAs come in 2 days
opening in 13 days
hence, the crying spells
this is the first time i've ever had a building with summer residents
and i'll tell you
it's for the birds

but let's share good news
erica and i are going to see beck and polyphonic spree in october
at keyspan park in brooklyn
same place we saw phish
i can't wait to see how the spree translate
to a minor league ballpark
i've got my JM ticket for later that month
and maybe i'll try to get a U2 ticket
then there's MD in TOWSON(!) and NYC
for which lizzie musar needs to venture up here
i don't have any shows on the immediate horizon
but that'll change

this weekend i am going to finish unpacking
there will be no bubblewrap within 1000 feet of my person
and i will catch up on my netflix
wild and crazy times!
