Jungle Update

I am living in the jungle...Three nights ago I killed two enormous and hairy spiders that truly had mandibles -- I swear 2 cm long and was half the size of the book I'm reading (Shantaram)Bam! Dead by the hand of Jessica. Meanwhile, Peter was in the other room squealing with his hands up in the air. There's a frog that lives in the bathroom that does not move forward, but only backwards. Geckos of course. Squirck-Squirck-Squirck, a surprisngly loud and different sound than you would expect from an amphibian...ALl the imaginigs of bird calls (I think even the Wind-Up-Bird Murakami talks about)
