Would've blog this a long time ago....

So yea, like the title suggested, I would've blogged like two days ago if facebook didn't screw up on me. They wouldn't let me upload my pictures, which I need for this blog because~~ instead of posting pictures here, I'm just gonna link you over to my facebook! The link should be appearing right about..... NOW!!!

Anyways~ If you already looked at the album, this blog is indeed about the mouse that I've captured. Here's the story...

I was playing my Star Ocean: The second evolution, great game by the way, when I hear those sounds that mice make when they are walking on concrete. And because I've encountered so many mice already, I knew right away what it was. I looked around the room, and there it was, running into my closet!

Last time when it ran into my closet, it just disappeared... I still don't really know what happened to it. Anyways, I sealed my closet up once again. This time, however, I was a bit more cunning, and I added that cardboard piece (refer to first picture of my album). I then cut a small hole in the tape right where the cardboard is. The hole was not big enough, however, for the mouse to simply get out; it still need to tear the tape open and such. Anyways, I was just waiting for the moment the mouse comes out of the closet so I can use the container that I've used to cover the mouse. So finally, 'the mouse came out of the closet' (WHA?!) and BOOM~. I caught it =D. You know, because mouse don't really eat tapes, so I was wondering what it did to the tape that he teared up. I opened my closet... and there it was -- in the corner, a ball of torn up tape....

The moment I covered the mouse, it literally JUMPED many times inside the container. Kind of looked like it was bouncing in the container. Anyways, I have a video of the moment I caught the mouse, so I will be posting that on Youtube sooner or later...

This whole process took 4 hours by the way... 4am~8am. I was so happy that I caught the mouse, so right after I showered, I told my sister, my mom, and anyone else I could find online.

I did not kill the mouse. Bye!

Boss Battle - Mouse?

Can you see how uneven both sides are?

Yup! That's my setup to make sure that the mouse won't be able to run around in my room. Though far away it looked like saran wraps, but they're tape -- layered tape...?

Kristie taped this side

My side.

Tape to keep it in place

Well anyways, Kristie came over to help me catch the mouse, and after setting that up and blocking the door with towels(should've used tape), we started taking items out of the closet one by one. Laundry, Suitcases, Empty Boxes... but no mouse. We looked for holes in the closet and such, but found none. It just disappeared. We did however found evidence that a mouse must've lived there. This tissue paper was badly bitten by mouse, and there was a mouse poo stuck on there. Basically, in response to the title of the blog, the boss has escaped.

Bite marks all over the tissue paper.

Super Mario Bros. Wii & Mouse.

So I said last time that the mouse went into my closet. I know I said that I'm might 'keep it as pet', but it out this morning, so I got annoyed. I taped my closet shut, and now it can't get out.

I have to open it tomorrow when I do laundry... and then I'm going to have a fun battle with the mouse =__=... I don't know what I am going to when I catch it though... If I let it go, it's just gonna come back or something. Arg. WHY MY CLOSET D:

*hates complicated crap*

By the way, I'm currently at Atsushi's house blogging about mice, and mario, which I just played for the first time.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii (on the Wii. DUH) is well, how should I say this.... Fun, and funny. It's fun because the levels are none like I've seen before AND it's multiplayer!!! I get to use TOAD!! It's funny because you get to do a lot of things when you get to play multiplayer; kill each other and stuff. Really fun and worth it. I'm gonna buy it when I finally get out of residence and away from the mouse.

I think I'm gonna name the mouse... Meese.

Just wondering....

You know... since I'm kind of too lazy to get rid of the mouse in my closet, maybe I can just have it as a pet...

I wonder if I feed it enough it'll star to like me... then maybe I can use it to scare away the annoying people in my residence. It's not like the mouse is causing me a lot of trouble; at least less than the people in my residence.....

Just throwing the idea out there... I should try it someday.

WTF WTF WTF WTF ARG!!! D:

=___= guess what I saw today....

Yup! ANOTHER MOUSE. This is getting really stupid and annoying. I like mice and all, but I don't want to see them every day. This one came from the door, and I can't really tap my door shut because well... I still need to use it... I know it's not from my closet because there's when it tries to escape it went out the door instead of going into my closet.

Does my room smell that nice that mice think that there are food in my room? What do I need to do to make it not smell nice anymore... I'll um.... poo... on the floor... maybe that'll scare them away... Do they eat poo?!?

This mouse is a different one than before. How do I know? Last time when the mouse tried to escape through the door, it got stuck.... The mouse had to squeeze its way out, but this time... the mouse just went right through without any trouble. Though it might be because the mouse went on a diet and all, who knows. Either way, I'm kind of sick and tired of seeing mice in my room. =__=

Update: I saw it came back into my room and into the closet....... I need to clean out my closet and set a trap. I want to set a trap for the mouse, but the trap won't kill the mouse... any suggestions?

I guess mouse aren't that shy.

Wow, it's been 2 weeks total, and my encounter with a mouse has already increased to 4. Today I found out why the mouse keep coming to my room even though there are no food. Turns out the hole on my heater is what it uses to go in and out of the building. I video taped it -- you can watch it here

Of course, I had to fix the problem, so I put cardboard over it. But... mouse eat cardboard/paper/tape... a lot of things, so I can't really block the hole permanently. Hope it'll at least last until I get out of my residence.

Quick Update - Third encounter with a mouse.

Woah, three encounters with mice in just a week... This residence is getting worse and worse.

It happened around 10 minutes ago, a saw a flash of shadow(oxymoron?!) going towards behind my desk -- bad move from the mouse. I can now see exactly where it is going, so I watched it very carefully hoping that the mouse will run back to its hole... so that I know where the hole is(if any).

So like last time, when the mouse noticed that I'm watching it, it ran towards the direction of my door/closet. First it ran towards the closet, and I thought... oh crap there really is a mouse living in my closet, but 5 seconds after that... I saw it came out of the closet and ran out the door.

I can now safely say that the mouse hole is not in my room!! because if it were in my room/closet, the mouse wouldn't have came out. =]

Quick Update - Rats...!?!??!?!!??!?!??!

Um... yea, this morning... right before I was about to head to class... I saw a live rat/mouse. I tried catching it, but it ran away. I think it's in my closet, so I'll go find it when I get back.

Wish me luck??
