Ok it's getting old.

This demon is pissing me off. Haven't showered since.. er, the other day and will only be able to get myself basically clean before setting off to work tonight, which will set off a whole new mess in the bath, leaving it all fucked up, or me with a whole lot more work to get it halfway manageable for when the plumber/exorcist comes this evening. I know it shouldn't matter, it's his job to wade through gunk, but still... don't want to let it go too bad.


It's always fucking something, if the water isn't running at all then we're locked out of the toilet or.. um, other stuff that happened at the other flat. It's getting old, tired, I can do without any dramas of this sort for a while. I mean how are people supposed to live like this? Well?

Living with Gunkiness.

So, the demon is still in the pipes, still waiting for the plumber/exorcist to come by..


it seemed tolerable to wait a little yesterday, and we didn't really want our Sunday... the first semi-sunny Sunday for at least.. er, a week but they have been scarce lately.. disrupted.. and we thought we'd manage with a quick rinse off shower for a few days.. and the toilet wasn't so bad at the time.

Well, now it seems worse, for various reasons, and the dishes are piling up in the sink because.. oh yeah.. the kitchen sink is part of this whole trilogy or triumvirate or whatever, and quickly rinsing off the few dishes we desperately need to do anything is enough to send gunk and mess gurgling out of bath drain. Oh and the toilet is totally not flushing again but you didn't want to know that. And there's other reasons, won't go into detail about everything though.

So, today I'm fully gunky. Don't need to go to work, and would have liked to go out and do some more shopping for the home and stuff but getting at least clean enough for just outside is too much trouble right now, so here I sit, in my own filth, feeling gunky. Just so you know.

In other news we did score some cool stuff, some furniture left by the dumpster which sorta coincided with stuff that if not necessarily what we most needed, is stuff we can use, so that's cool.

Oh and about the weather..

Yeah I know. I might as well just call it the "what the weather is like here now and a long winded rant about how it affects me" blog. But about the weather.

Yesterday we got more of the new pretty snow that I seem to like so much. It actually snowed kind of heavy, and it was Sunday so I went for a walk in the park, and it was all magical and stuff.

Today it decided to screw that.. we're going straight to gunkville. It was brown and mucky by the morning. I had stuff to do around town so being me I chose to do it all on foot. Fucking huge puddles everywhere.. parts of the street sectioned off because of people shoving snow off roofs, huge piles of brown snow all over the place. I had to peel my socks off when I got home. I'm sure you really wanted to know that.

Apart from that it's been a lovely day. All that Blue Monday stuff is cobblers I say.

Ok it's getting old.

This snow is getting out of hand. It's not still snowing, hasn't for a week now but it's still around, it's brown and gunky and slippery and it's impossible to walk outside. Well not impossible just a pain in the ass... especially if one lands on one's.. not that one has yet *crosses all crossables*

I wouldn't mind if it snowed a bit again making it prettier and letting me do more "shoots" in places I haven't done this year, but I'd rather it just rain heavily one night, then get sunny and nice and 2 to 5 degrees for a few days and then snow prettily again. Why can't the weather happen just exactly the way that is the exact balance of convenient and desirable for us? Well for me? Why?

Yes.. I have NOTHING ELSE TO WRITE GIVE ME A BREAK!

Yes I am almost certain that no one is reading. Let me dream a little.

I feel gunky

Not terribly gunky, but in time I will feel more so. It is for what I can accurately call the usual reason. No hot water. Yeah, it seems to happen every year or *insert number of months just under a year* or at least once every place I live. I've been in the current place for oh.. at least 6 weeks so I suppose it's time I had a bit of an issue with the old water heater.

Oh I love that I keep getting to have these little adventures that strengthen my character. I really do. And of course.. a good grumble is about the best topic for a post I can come up with these days.. and everything's been so perfect late...

actually it hasn't but going on about money problems, personal problems, being stuck going nowhere, being ignored by the film/acting world and deleting a whole bunch of fantastic kitties off my memory card can only be done so many times. Or not at all.

Anyway I have to call some guy that the management group that work for the owners of my building gave me to get him to come over and sort it out, so I'll talk to him, explain the whole situation who I am and all that.. and he'll ask a bunch of questions I can't answer, then I'll probably have to call the owners, they won't answer or they won't know what I'm talking about so I'll have to call the real estate people who'll probably call them and maybe then they'll call me to tell me to call the fixit guy again, and when I finally get through he'll probably ask me a bunch of questions again, and then I'll explain it all again and he'll call the owners, then they'll call me back and tell me to call him. I'll call him again and he'll tell me he'll call me back about when he can come and fix it. He won't call back so I'll call again tomorrow and he'll say he'll figure out his schedule and call back, maybe he'll call back or maybe I'll have to call again but finally he'll make an appointment for a few days after that particular conversation, excluding the weekend of course and maybe I'll be able to have a shower about a week and a half from now.

Or something like that.
