So, it's about midnight, I'm hanging out sitting on the living room floor, when I suddenly see, rushing from my bedroom toward the bathroom, a scutigera coleptrata! Man of action that I am, I immediately leapt into action - and smooshed it with a nearby towel. Of course, I didn't know what it was at the time, except a REALLY UGLY bug with lots of legs. So I spent half an hour on Google trying to figure out what the hell the hideous now-dead thing was. Why yes, it was your basic "house centipede", which is something I hope I NEVER, ever, have to encounter again... After reading the article I linked to, though, I doubt this will be the case. Apparently, if they enjoy hanging out in your home, you're probably stuck with them for good. Oh lovely, they like to hang out on walls and celilings. I've got some extra heebies and jeebies now, if anyone needs a spare.

As usual, being that I live in Salem, I blame the witches.
