Yeah, I knew a woman (in fact, the craziest of them all during The Reign of Terror) who told me that when she had her convertible she'd leave the windows down so no one would cut her lid to get into her car and steal her cassette tapes. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Stupid. My lid needs replaced anyway. And I can't guarantee Smasho Fucko Jr ain't gonna ram into me the second I leave today anyway. (It's been way too long without a beer. Whatcha got brewin' over there, foot?)

Dad and his "tidying away".
Happened before and will happen again. Going to Borough Market tomorrow with Mum (famous London foodie market but also her mother's old stomping ground.) Wanted to take photos - natch. No. I have the camera. I have the plug. But where is the cable? Dad got quite aggressive when I asked. Now I know he has Alzheimers, And I know he forgets things. But I stood up to him without being rude or accusatory. Mum and I know that he is the only one who squirrels away leads and plugs. We also know that there are only two of each that we need. He had leads for everything he owns - playstation, camera, videocamera, phone, scanner etc etc etc. So yeah. We'll go to Borough market with Mum's camera tomorrow. But I'm pissed off that mine (gift from Dani, really getting to know it now) is out of commission just because Dad says "I don't know - it wasn't labelled." Grrrrrr.

Sorry Jim, those douchebags really piss me off. When I was young and evil I had razor blades fastened all around my stereo in the topless CJ. Never lost anything but a pair of sunglasses to a ah... sanity challenged ex.
Sorry Sundae, old-timers disease is the suck.

Somewhere I previously posted my frustration about calling out a repairman
to fix an oven-control, only to find out I didn't know how to work the controls. That "education" cost me $65 for the 5 minutes of his "teaching time" Well, yesterday my tenant informed me that the washer was not working. I called the same repairman, and it truely was broken so for $135 he got it working again by replacing the belt, and he went on his way. BUT, an hour later, the tenant calls to say the drier is not working, and sure enough, the belt on the drier is shredded. Now what are the odds of the belts on two different machines breaking on the same day ? Appliance abuse ? Malicious ? Regardless, I'm ticked because the repair guy could have fixed both on just one (minimum $65/trip + parts + labor) visit. |

My friend called me last night at 7 and asked for a ride to the airport. the flight left at 8:10 a.m., so that meant I had to get up at 5:30 a.m. to go pick the son of a b**** up. I knocked on his door for half an hour before I gave up, and went back home.
I was home before I would have been had I taken him to the airport, god damnit I wish I'd been able to sleep through
