In the Battle Between You and the World, Bet On the World

Wow, so many people blogging while they're supposed to be working... so i will too!

I have a new pet. He (or she) doesn't have a name yet. It's about a centimeter long, has 8 legs, and is yellow and black. It has been hanging around my desk for over a week, sometimes resting on my keyboard, sometimes jumping onto the wall and crawling around. It's quite talented, being able to jump a good 6 inches, and its fangs look rather sharp. I'm not exactly sure what to do with him yet. I don't want to put him down, he appears rather healthy and well, and so the ethics of that may be questionable. And I can't really take him outside and release him into the wild without looking partly psychotic to my fellow coworkers. So for now he is my pet, and I like him a lot. I think I shall name him Alfred, since Mr. Molina's characters have had multiple bad experiences dealing with large arachnids.

I shall name him Alfred, and he shall be mine. And he shall be my Alfred.
