In addition to the bugs, we have a mouse in the house. There might be more than one, but it could just be one who gets around since that's all I've seen at any one time.
I didn't have a problem seeing it scurry around the baseboards of the dining room, but I wasn't thrilled when it sauntered into my room. I really don't want a mouse crawling on me in the middle of the night or eating my stuff. But I saw him come in and managed to corner him by the door. He got scared and hid behind something, but not very well since his tail stuck out. I felt sort of bad: I didn't want him in the room, but I also didn't want to terrify him since he was very cute. Eventually he ran out of the room, and I plugged the gap under the door with a towel so all was well on my end. Perhaps not so much for my roommate, though, whose room he ended up running around all night. She was not amused.
Meanwhile, I decided to name him. I named him Sonny Bono, because I can't very well name him Mickey, now, can I? </IP law joke>
IP law joke explained: Mickey Mouse was about to fall into the public domain were it not for a bill to extend the terms of US Copyright protection passed by Congress. The bill was named for Sonny Bono. Maybe this really isn't such a joke: the whole thing really isn't very funny at all.
