the Dalaverse

Had a dream last night that I was visiting somebody's suite and he kept a cobra as a pet, in a laundry hamper. Therefore, waking up to this was somewhat unpleasant.

I hate snakes. Hate them. Everybody gets one irrational phobia, and that's mine. At the same time, I'm more likely to watch a nature program on snakes than on any other animal, and I always go into the reptile house at the zoo. It's like I have to keep an eye on them to make sure they're not sneaking up on me.

A snake helped provide one of the only non-heartbreaking moments ever on "Animal Cops." They had captured this big snake, probably a python, and kept it in a cat carrier, and there was a kitten in the van as well, and it kept creeping over to bat its paw at the thing. The officer, watching the kitten, said, "Curiosity did what?" It was awesome. I laughed forever.

Ugh. Snakes. I am so glad that of the campus-approved pets, Michelle chose a rat and not a snake, because I would never be able to sleep or use the toilet if I knew there was one somewhere in the suite. Of course, I guess somebody else's snake could get into the plumbing and end up here -- as far as I know, the pipes are all connected...
