Shriek! I have MOULD!!
Does it GET ANY WORSE? well, at least this stuff is in the basement. I guess Mould on Me would be worse! It likes to eat the paper on the drywall material, which is pretty gross. Not quite as gross as backed up sewage or an Infestation by Centipedes, but Mould definitely is in the running for Most Disgusting Basement Denizen.
Apparently it lurks around in spore form (mould equivalent of a string-bikini) reading smut novels and the Inquirer, waiting for Conditions to be Optimal for setting up luxury condominiums and other mould-inspired high-density dwellings on one's walls. Once the Optimal Conditions develop (read: moisture) it shifts into high gear, the bulldozers start rolling and it's all over: Mould has Established a Destination Resort Colony. The only way to get rid of it is to institute a Complete Extermination: mould-killer, a demolition ball, a containment zone to seal off any escapees, and a SWAT team to ensure the Zone is Clear.
Sigh. Of course, all this costs a lot of money. Which I no longer have, since I just spent it on furniture and flooring materials for the aforesaid basement.
On the bright side, my athsma may actually clear up after this is over - I've been having quite the struggle with it, and was blaming it all on the pregnancy.

Awful, terrible invasion!
Look on the bright side... it will all be cleared up before Junior arrives.
So... I take it that all you want for Christmas is not a hippopotamus, but funding for the Anti-Mould Campaign??
Are you like this in real life, or do you just write really well!? Zou, your posts are neat - serious issues (and mould IS a serious issue) cloaked in a comedic shell of amusement.
