look whos mr literary?

but thats about right. it was the slowest leak (like one drip every 30 seconds when it was leaking which was only occasionally for the last 4 or 5 days) but the beams were soaked through and all the 100 years of garbage weighing down upon the patched up sheetrock gave way.

now i have to deal with mr crankypants landlord who will try to blame me and he is not 100% wrong because i tried to figure out where the leak was coming from with my neighbor before i told him which we couldnt. if i had said there is a very, very slow leak i doubt he would have hurried to fix it but now he can imagine he would have. it wasnt until last night that i realized the ceiling was toast and that went a lot faster than i was expecting. it was such a slow drip!!

so my neighbor and i decided the best tact was to lie and say i didnt see any leak until after the ceiling collapsed. its pretty close to the truth. it was already drooping from the last leak a few months back which was far more significant.

or maybe ill just crib from an american classic.

My old man is a television repairman - he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.
