woke up to 3/4" of water on 1/4 of my kitchen floor. dont know how to solve that equation. fortunately i tracked down my landlord before he set out to atone for his sins. not sure if god is trying to tell me something but ive started to construct an ark out of flexible straws and duct tape just in case. i might not be able to save myself but at least the mice will survive to reset the evolutionary process.
in other news i was given a ball that rafael nadal used at the us open this year. no provenance or signature to verify the claim though. so, i got that going for me. - dave 9-25-2009 6:21 pm

either you are a fan of mice or tennis or floods, im not sure which. or maybe impromptu ark building. or perhaps vengeful gods. or else you are a fan of windows 7 house parties and in your enthusiasm youve misposted.
i will say that my landlord arrived (i probably should have been more emphatic but the leak only got progressively worse as the morning wore on and it seemed under control earlier) and turned off the water completely so im done swabbing the deck much to my delight. - dave 9-25-2009 7:00 pm [add a comment]
tennis, but not nadal, and you, and ark building but not impromtu - Skinny 9-25-2009 7:14 pm [add a comment]
Who is Rafael Nadal? Oh, you mean Raffa.
So you're saying this is not a good time to come by and borrow a cup of water? - jimlouis 9-25-2009 7:14 pm [add a comment]
i think theres about a cup in the towel on the floor that you could squeeze out.
my landlord confided in me that he wished my downstairs neighbor would move because she complains about things like water damage and not having electricity for days on end. the nerve. - dave 9-25-2009 7:24 pm [add a comment]
No shit. I would never confide in you. - jimlouis 9-25-2009 7:25 pm [add a comment]
unless my landlord is going to defy god and the sabbath he will be sleeping in his office downstairs because he had to shut down the water for the whole building and thats where the access is. or he could entrust his oldest friend who is non religious and a plumber by trade with opening the pipes and locking up afterwards. but somehow this is not a viable option. that theres nothing worth stealing probably never crossed his mind. or like i said he could say fuck it and make it up to god on monday when he fasts for yom kippur. since god let his entire family die in the holocaust (to say nothing of letting his pipes burst), id say he could let this one slide. - dave 9-26-2009 12:27 am [add a comment]
my god, not only is this plumber incompetent but hes completely full of shit. i guess thats in the job description.
*must be prepared to lie with impunity.
wont run through the litany of complaints, but if he ever shows up tonight and he promised me about an hour ago that he would, he might not make it out of the apartment alive. of course ill wait until he finishes before i follow through. ive always wanted to defenestrate someone but then it would be weeks before i got the window fixed. grrr.... - dave 9-26-2009 4:04 am [add a comment]

theyve already punched a big hole in the wall although i dont know why since the pipe was outside the wall and then they disappeared for another 1/2 hr and came back with wd-40.
that bottle of vodka i bought is coming in handy though. - dave 9-26-2009 6:05 am [add a comment]

I am laughing! Sorry Dave. This story is all the more funny because I know that plumber friend of Sam's and also am familiar with the inventory that Sam wants to protect! The whole thing is so hilarious! I do hope it gets worked out soon. If you need a shower come on over. - sarah 9-28-2009 3:55 pm [add a comment]
