Alone in the Dark mit Uberreiniger
Jan. 23rd, 2004 01:31 amToday could've been better (could've been worse, but that's not why I write in this journal.) We were without power all of last night and most of today because it turns out our house is all wired wrong and is a fire hazard. Our landlord, of course, doesn't want to jump on this immediately, wanting _his_ electrician to verify what the electrician today told us. This escalated to my dad leaving him a voice mail calling him a fuck, so now we've got a pissed off doesn't-want-to-do-anything landlord instead of just a regular doesn't-want-to-do-anything landlord. *rolls eyes* I'm going to inventory all my property for renter's insurance this weekend, which I should've done a long time ago anyway. I've got four electric guitars in that house. If anything happens to them there will be blood and suffering. In the meantime, we just have to run as few electrical items simultaneously as possible since operating too much blows the breaker. If our landlord decides he doesn't want to provide us with a safe place to live we may have to break the lease. Guess it's a good thing 90% of my stuff (the 90% I don't use every day,) is still in boxes...
Was accosted by a homeless person sitting in the drive thru at Wendy's tonight on the way to work. I felt bad for her and was going to drive back around and give her a dollar, but half the restaurant's staff came swarming out to herd her off the property, which she was refusing to leave. It was sad. I should've done something, but with three minutes to get to work, (the Wendy's is a few blocks north of where I work,) there wasn't a whole lot I could do and I couldn't wait for their argument to end. I hope she's okay. Maybe some feel it's their fault they're homeless and they should get jobs, blah, blah, blah. But that's not the point. The point is, what's a dollar to me? I can part with it! I do it all the time for no greater purpose than myself. I should've just _given_ it to her when she asked instead of hesitating and having to _decide_ to do it. And by then it was too late.
On a happier note, had a long and pleasant chat with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nolens_volens. And a brief pleasant chat with batchix who is getting to see Celldweller this weekend sans me. I wanted to, but a trip to St. Louis just isn't in the cards for me right now. It's all good, though. I eagerly await her details and will live vicariously through others. I am also now a member of the mighty and hale pirate ship ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thesaltyhooker If ye think ye be pirate enough, then fire your grappling pistol and swing aboard. Berths are going fast!
And I finally got to play my video game I was complaining about. Here's hoping I can keep doing it without burning the house down.
