AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh - return of the bugs!

This morning, I picked up a CD from a friend who is late riser so last night I told her to put the CD in her letterbox and I would grab it from there rather than wake her up. I looked in her letter box and there's a dark plastic bag with there with my name on it so I grabbed it. I'm about 5 minutes down the road when I looked down at the bag and it's moving! I don't know why, but I decided to have slightly closer look so I opened the top of the bag and out come cockroaches - maybe half a dozen or more, who knows how many? Now I'm driving with the bag slightly open and I can see there's more roaches - lots more of them - still in the bag.

About this point, one of them finally figures that there's some fresh meat in the car - me - and runs up my trouser leg!

I'm still not sure if I've got all the scurrying little bastards out of my car yet - I think I may be walking home tonight!

Is this new or am I just slow?

I just found Fanlib.com which has fanfic aplenty BUT (and here's what interests me) appears to have the blessing of "..... HarperCollins, Penguin Books, Showtime Networks, Simon & Schuster and Starz Entertainment" according to SCI FI Wire at any rate. Partnerships at last rather than rivalry?

I have read a bit of the fanfic there - nothing's caught my eye yet but you never know .....
