Reasons My Roommate Needs a Serious Boyfriend

For one, she wants a good excuse to skip Thanksgiving and/or Christmas with her family this year.

Two.

What's going on here?

Why is there the lid to an IKEA 365+ pan duct-taped to our kitchen wall? (Besides that it actually looks kind of cool.)

Oh, right. It's Michigan, it's mid-January, there are huge beetle-things in our apartment. Why not. (That's a wooden kitchen match next to its delicately-patterned body.)

Anyway. The point is, taping kitchen instruments to the wall isn't the normal way to deal with unwelcome creatures, and that's why Emma needs a live-in boyfriend.

(At least in the Krankenhaus it was summer and all the bugs made sense.)
