Sure enough – you have a big hole dug under your house to fix leaky pipes and what happens? It rains for two days straight. I now seem to have an under-the-house pond.

Well, the big dig starts tomorrow. They are going to start tunneling under the house to get to my leaking pipes. This should be interesting.

Yep, for some reason, I’ve created a website for yet another reality tv show winner.’

There’s a great theater near where I live. It’s called Alamo Drafthouse and you can order dinner and beer and stuff while you watch your movie. It’s a 4-plex and they have a rather large sign near the roadway upon which they display the titles of the movies they are showing. The sign is divided into 4 sectors, but since they sometimes show more than one movie per theater, they have to combine titles in the sectors. This can sometimes create what appears to be a single movie title…and often sounds much more interesting than the actual movies they are showing. Today, this effect was furthered by a missing letter: “Harry Otter Bond.” Sounds like some sort of odd porn movie to me…’

The leak detectors found two leaks under my house – none where the original plumber thought there was a leak. They also found a “foreign object” in a pipe under my kitchen floor. They think it’s an old cable or something. I have no idea what this means…

Such sad news…Joe Strummer has passed away. The day I listened to London Calling, I wanted to throw away every other record I owned – it was that good. For awhile, I didn’t think the tag “the only band that matters” was hype at all. In November Joe and Mick Jones and performed together for the first time since the band’s bitter break-up. They were to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2003. There was hope of a reunion for the show. Too bad that can’t happen now. So long, Joe.

So, the insurance adjustor came this morning. It looks like my foundation is shifting. Weee – this is going to be fun.

You know it’s been a long and stressful day when the following occurs:

You get home from work and say hello to your next door neighbor who is from Germany. You, for some reason, have a degree in German, but you’ve forgotten most of it over the years. After talking to your neighbor, however, you find yourself playing that old favorite game of making up German words by adding a “ge” to the start and an “en” to the end of English words. You head to the bedroom to get out of work clothes and as you take off your bra, you think “boobgefallen.”

That”s it…I hope this new project at work finishes up soon and is successful.

This is amusing… in a sad way.
