Don't ask me why I didn't attempt some sort of shower Wednesday night when the hot water was back on... I had a phone call. A long one. Turns out my mom told my niece I was going to fly her here for her birthday. Moms... just not good at keeping a secret. I suppose that was her way of making sure that my niece was out of her hair just long enough to move away.
By the way, my mom is my nieces mom. And not in a sick disturbing way... in a "my brother ain't quite mom enough even though he may be taking more sausage than he'd ever admit to" kind of way, but I'll leave that up to your imagination.
Anyway, wasn't I talking about my lack of a bath or something? Yes I was.
I called my neighbor from work after I had emailed her about some dumb "Prison Break" not so breaking news: Fox at last has given Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles a premiere date: Monday, Jan. 14, 2008, at 8 pm/ET. To make room for the big-screen spin-off, Prison Break will serve up a fall-finale cliff-hanger on Dec. 17, then return four months later on April 14. At that point, just as 24 will, the babes-behind-bars drama will air all original episodes into June. — Ben Katner
Do we have hot water yet?
Answer: yap. This is kinda stupid from a marketing standpoint. I realize they put the new show IN PLACE of a successful one in order to lure the successful show's viewers in, but in effect they LOSE viewers of the successful show who never know when or even remember WHEN the popular show is coming back. Also, considering how many lead-ins and lead-outs tank when sandwiched between a popular show, the reasoning behind this baffles me. Case in point? Chuck and Journeyman, both sandwiched between heroes, have not had stellar ratings. I think Journeyman might have even been canceled ... that's the rumor anyway.
After numerous unanswered calls to my neighbor... I'll just refer to her as 407. I'm sure she wouldn't approve of me calling her "the 32 year-old virgin", even though she is. and I can't call her a lesbian because her lack of grooming proves otherwise. Anyway... this is the first email I sent to her regarding the heatless water situation and regarding her revised blog (not her fluffy bush):
Looks fuller... some of your headings are lowercase and others are title case... get some consistency... speaking of consistency... a nice hot fucking shower in the AM would be nice. The dude that lives in 112 turned the water heater off. Michele couldn't get it back on. I think he blew out the pilot light on it too. Bastard. Doesn't he realize that doing that affects 48 people. I had to bathe using a washcloth and the microwave and a few baby-wipes.
407: okay dude, that was TOO damn funny.....
302: You should have seen Michele this morning. She answered the door in one of her button up shirts... no pants... just the shirt. She said she had been up until 4am, and I could tell that she was telling the truth by the looks of her chin. Must have taken hours to pick her face silly like that. Plus it looked like she had eaten some blackberry jam or something. Her lips were stained in the places where they touch, it was cakey and dry... she went downstairs without putting on pants... went to inspect then came back with an update. Told me about 112 and attached the note he wrote onto her door. I guess that was to let people in the building know that she didn't turn the water off.
Has it been fixed yet? I have to do laundry and pack tonight. I think I may take 2 showers when I get home if everything is working.
