The Life of Karl, the Iguana

It got really cold a couple of days ago, so I remained on my heated rock.  Suddenly, I woke up one morning and I had a new roommate!  He (she- not sure of the gender) didn’t even ask me if he could move in.  It just showed up!  Probably some transient coming in out of the cold.

Here are my complaints about the thing:

1. It has remained sessile since it moved in, just scanning back and forth with its seemingly eyeless face.
2. It makes noise at ALL TIMES OF THE DAY, even when the sun has fallen below the horizon.
3. It’s noises and movements are sporatic, startling me every time it clicks and starts to move.
4. It just freaks me out, just sitting there.  I feel as if it is waiting for me to let my guard down.  Then it might eat my food… or even ME!

Strangely, the temperature has increased since my roommate’s arrival.  Strangely, it has a long tail attached to the wall, just like the really noisy, scary green monster.  At least it hasn’t eaten any of my food… yet.
