Luck Be A Cricket Tonight!

I have A Cricket in My Apartment!

Probably, I should Step On It. Or Smash it with A Heavy Book. But, I don’t like to Kill Bugs. Well, I mean, I will Eradicate A Family Of Roaches if I see one Anywhere Near My Vicinity. And when I was A Kid, I used to like to cover up Ant Holes with the toe of my shoe and watch The Parade Of Ants scramble to find their Suddenly Missing Home. But, I won’t Kill A Spider. Because Spiders eat Other Bugs! And I can’t Murder A Cricket. Because A Cricket is supposed to mean Good Luck! Sure, Said Luck-Delivering Cricket is supposed to be found On One’s Hearth. But, I don’t have A Hearth. I merely have A Dangerous Looking Wall Heater Thing. My Cricket was spotted near The Dangerous Looking Wall Heater Thing! I figured it thought it was My Hearth. And I took that as A Sign.

And so, The Cricket has been Hopping Around My Apartment freely for The Past Week. I picked My Coat off A Chair in my living room and it hopped away, under my sofa on Monday Morning. It was by My Television on Tuesday Night. Thursday, I eyed it On My Window Sill. It seems Harmless and I kind of like having it around!

Of course, The Thought did just occur to me that Maybe These Were All Different Crickets and I have some sort of Weird Cricket Apartment Infestation Thing going down in my digs.

But, No Fret! After all, A Cricket Infestation would just mean Lots And Lots of Good Luck is Coming My Way!

And that now would be A Great Time to book A Trip To Vegas!

Anything that rubs its legs together and makes beautiful music has gotta be good luck.

That's why I'll take you to Sin City soon.

I think there may be some weird cricket infestation in LA now? I have had several cricket sightings in my apartment (NEVER had trouble with them before), and you're the 3rd person this week that has mentioned seeing them around their homes. Weird.
