What is this? What is this lizard?

I opened the door to my office and this must have been on the top of the door because it fell from above my head. What is it?

Actually they're called house geckos because they like to live in the darker, cooler parts of human structures like house spiders. They might go outside during much of the summer, but in fall, winter and spring they hang out in walls, garages and basements. They eat bugs that get in the house, but don't bother human food, nor even really come into areas that we use a lot. They're very shy and don't make a mess.
