equal night
September 23, 2003 - 5:40 pm today is the equinox. the second time in a year where there is exactly 12 hours of day and twelve of night. reminds me of school and fairs and october, possibly falls greatest month. now i don't feel as foolish wearing my fall jacket. but then up here it's been quite cooler the last week. waking up in the morning to no heat sucks the big one as well. i asked my landlord two weeks ago to turn the heat on. he always finds an excuse for delaying everything about fixing my apt. "well, i have to light the furnace , blah, fucking, blah" well fucking light the friggin' thing! it's not going to do it by itself.(although i'm sure one of the many critters down in the basement would gladly do it.) same with the water. in which i STILL have no "hot" water or pressure. or why i haven't gotten a new fridge. or why the evestroughs leak. and of course the bug situation, which they are still roaming around. until i kill them. so, on and on it goes. he's a classic slumlord, doesn't even live in the same area code. now that's a problem, any landlord that doesn't even live in the same town, you can forget trying to have anything done. how can you? my last landlord, we'll call him joe(cuz that's what his name was) lived about ten minutes away, walking. so i didn't have a problem with him coming over to fix something, although the apt. was very low maitenence. but hey, i'm out on friday. and anything he wants me to do i'll just hum and haw about it until i leave. if he gets real nasty i'm going to tell him to go fuck himself. he doesnt give a shit about anything except the rent. i promise i won't bitch about my apt. anymore. it's the first day of fall! i start talking about autumn and it turns into a full blown rant about slumlords. so tonight my friend terry is taking me out for a birthday dinner. oh, no my birthday isn't today, it's the 30th of october. so i've been waiting about 328 days, but i'm not counting. details to follow. |
