This seems complicated, albeit effective.

Be that as it may, it is certainly not cute.

Mousesnaps made the mousetrap cuter.  Now scientists are trying to make the rodents cuter.

According to a post on Trendhunter.com, scientists at Emory University have created glowing rodents by implanting the jellyfish fluorescent protein gene into prairie voles.

Mousesnaps won’t deny it: we know we’re crazy.

A few months ago, I unfortunately fell out of the habit of updating this blog.  But with the end of the year in sight, I think it’s worth it to try and pick back up.

And what better way to celebrate my return than by posting an old-fashioned mousetrap that rivals Mousesnaps for being the most interesting thing to kill a mouse.

That is pretty cool, no?

Here we go.

Aw, Mousesnaps.  All dressed up with someplace to go.

After returning home from my second capoeira class (which didn’t go all that bad, thank you) I got a very disturbing email from a coworker about someone who is making snap traps in boxes.  Well how cutesy cute.  What’s even more alarming -  they were on TrendHunter.com, which isn’t such a big deal except that the last time I checked, I was the reigning mousetrap PR princess.

So I responded as any reasonable person in need of a shower at midnight would – I wrote my own post on TrendHunter.com about Mousesnaps and our adorable hand-painted mousetraps.  And then I posted that article on Facebook and Twitter.  And now I’m writing a blog post about it. 

Or in other words, I really lost my shit about it.

For example, I also wrote to my coworker and said, “First of all, THANK YOU FOR THE TIP.”  And then I proceeded to point out that anyone can submit a trend to the site and plastered Mousesnaps all over the place just to prove it.  For my grand finale, I called the other girl names and then debated myself about whether or not her traps would actually work.  Based entirely on a low-resolution image available online – I have decided that they will NOT. 

As you’re reading this, you may think that I sound like a real lunatic.  And don’t worry, I thought the same thing about halfway through!  I even wrote to my co-worker “As I’m rereading this message (God forbid there’s a typo, that would be embarrassing!), I’m realizing that I should have followed the “First of all” up with “I’m a real nut job and that’ll be the last time anyone underestimates the amount of time I have on my crazy hands.”

But I’m not sure anyone underestimated that in the first place.  Afterall, I’ve spent the better part of the year painting mousetraps, reading business textbooks, learning how to swim, PLAYING DODGEBALL, and dabbling in online dating.

Something tells me people have been thinking I’ve been obviously bored since January.
