Lizard vs gecko

Liz'ard

1. Any of numerous reptiles of the suborder Sauria or Lacertilia, characteristically having a scaly elongated body, movable eyelids, four legs, and a tapering tail.
2. Leather made from the skin of one of these reptiles

Gecko

1. Any of various usually small tropical and subtropical lizards of the family Gekkonidae, having toes padded with setae containing numerous suction cups that enable them to climb on vertical surfaces

Apparently there are differences between Gecko and Lizard. Surely I knew that, I know that I did, but in a moment of panic I said Lizard, whereas perhaps it was Gecko I meant. So why am I bringing up the horrible reptiles? (I'm not one for bugs, reptiles and various rodents)

Well, I needed to do laundry this evening, yes, it's laundry day. I am seriously considering buying a shirt that declares that it is Laundry Day, but I digress. So the laundry, the lizards (sorry Gecko) together equals disaster. I open my washing machine and what do I see? A FREAKING LIZARD (sorry) GECKO!!! Seriously shitting myself here, alone, in my house. What if it comes in? How am I going to get rid of it? I am being such a girl at the moment, but I'm not sure I care at the moment. I have to get someone else to come and get it out, there is NO WAY I am dealing with it.

Updates on what happens tomorrow.

What the hell happened to Kenny Rogers?

Ok, I will admit it, even in Taiwan I've been watching American Idol. I can't vote so I figure it is okay. So this week was country week, and the guest person was Kenny Rogers. What the fuck!! He looks completely different and a little freaky. People have been saying it's the plastic surgery they think he's had. I don't doubt it, there is something up with his eyes...that and the fact that he has a duded up hairstyle. Definately not the scruffy country dude I remember. Either I'm getting really old or he is, I don't know but he sure looks different and not totally in the good way.
