Day 34: spider hunting

I woke up this morning and immediately tried to locate the nasty spider that was on my ceiling yesterday. I must have been a hunter in a previous life. Or maybe I just suffer from arachnophobia... (like Garfield, the fat orange cat). Anyway, at first I didn't see anymore. So I was happy. Then I thought: if don't see it, that means it's somewhere else. So I double checked the ceiling once again (with my glasses, that helps when you have the eyesight of a mole), and I found it, hanging just above the bathroom door. Damned, damned, damned!
I had to find a way to eliminate this ugly beast. The vacuum cleaner was my first option: however it was too short and its succion power was very limited. So I decided to throw my slipper at the ceiling (I'm staying on the top floor, so I don't think anyone heard something): after a dozen attemps, I was able to touch it. Bingo! It fell on the carpet and I crushed it with my other slipper. Yeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss!
After this heroic act, I went to walk in Downtown San Diego, in the Gaslamp Quarter.
I mostly did errands the whole day.
Tonight, I've been to the movie theater AMC in Fashion Valley to see this new movie "Fighting". I've seen the trailer a lot of time on TV. The film is shot in New-York City. It's very cool to see the movie if you like NYC, but it gets violent sometimes: it's the story of a tough guy, who fights in the undergroud street fighting circuit. The main actors are Channing Tatum, Terrence Howard and Zulay Henao.
