Arachnophobia
I just saw a very big house spider, far bigger than anything I’ve ever seen on this island before. What with daddy long legs and giant house spiders I’ll be glad when things get back to normal on the insect front.

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
So does that mean you’re no longer worried about the lizards, then?
I was actually wondering if the lizards might be interested in the insects.
This is the time of year that big scary house spiders come to call. I had one in my bedroom that was so big it woke me up clumping around the place.
See? Spiders make sense. They’re creepy and some of them are even deadly poisonous. But butterflies and moths? Nope. That’s just sissy-boy.
Spiders I can handle, and remove, no problem at all. But those insidious charlatans masquerading as brightly-coloured cheery harbringers of doom? I am not fooled.
Ms J, let it go!
You kids, I dunno.
Go play in the garden and leave me in peace. Shoo!
I think you probably saw one of these;

And I spotted one a couple of weeks ago; under my bed no less.
That’s the fella!
