Sos we all need to go to the following website and vote for our friend and local man of the beats Coolzey!

www.coolzey.com

I can’t figure out how to vote for him on this urb website, but if you do, please let me know and when he gets back to us to tell us how to do it because we are obviously incompetant coolzey voters I will let you all know.  Either way its el neato to see him on there so get to the checking of the out…

You know those movies, kind of romantic comedy, kind of coming of age~ only the age is 30 and you are not so much set in the fields of battle in ancient Greece, but more an office building in the midwest?

I was on hold with a branch offce of a major firm for awhile earlier and I got through their whole series of spiels that you hear while you are on hold these days instead of just music like it used to be.  I heard that they have special accomodations for women who want to take charge of their own financial future, I heard of the best deals and bells and whistles, and I was rudely reminded of my own mortality but dont worry i can give some people some money so that some other people have som eof my money later if i walk out in front of a car are something. 

Anywhoo while spacing off and listening to all of this rhetoric it felt like i was watching it in a movie, i mean is this my reality?  listening to recordings of actors telling people what to do , think, etc….  yes, well i guess it is.  Now i just want the gratuitous climax of when the something really good happens to me just before the end when i approach middle age with the love of my life and never worry again about the electric bill.

In case anyone was worried- I won some used python and suede tony lama boots last night.  they aren’t super duper cool turquise but hey its a good start in the healing process.  PLUS they were a lot cheaper and therefore I can justify another el cheapo boot purchase.

I know this is a very exciting update for everyone, try to keep your composure.

So, i got my super duper most coolest ever turquoise iquana skin cowboy boots in the mail today, and alas *hand back on forehead* they are too big.  Me thinks too big for even a gellin insole to fix.  I feel helpless and so alone….

I guess the only cure for this will be more ebay boot shopping….

So, for all of the avid readers of this just irresistably uneventful blog you may remember an ongoing issue I have had with  the car radio.  First of all, no I still do not have it.  I have tried more than one car radio, i have tried wiring other speakers directly to said car radios.  I Have tried pos battery radios that say am/fm but are really fm unless i suppose you are standing atop an am transmitter.  All of that said it should go without mention that not only is my heart heavy and my soul a bit empty due to the lack of NPR in my daily routine, but I am getting stupider by the day and well I am trying to move forward in that department rather than back.  Anywhoo, SO’s I got this FANTASTIC idea to get a little hand crank radio, and so I did (hey no batteries to throw in the garbage, no cords to complain about not working in the car lighter, speakers built right in etc…).  I tell you what, that little hunk of junk sure does work but it is one of the most exhausting things i Have ever tried to do whilst driving.  For any of you who have heard of this already I’ll spare the details of the challenges of mastering driving and radio cranking multitasking, but lets say it has an acquired taste.  Plus, how in the world one little radio could give your arms such a burn is beyond me.  Maybe I should get a hand crank tv and I could actually lose a couple pounds.  Anywhoo, my arm is especially sore today and I wanted to share.

I also had Redwood Steak house for supper last night and it was DELISH.  THANKS GRAMPS!!!

So here is a copy of the email I sent to my boss earlier today:

XXXX,
It has come to my attention what is causing the putrid smell in the women’s restroom.  The drain(s?) in the floor have backed up and need cleaned out (please lots of bleach).  That smell will not go away on its own, and is a different breed than the normal inconvenience of a bathroom with no air circulation on a floor with this many people using it that we have all resigned to dealing with on a regular basis.
As I hope this is going to be passed on I would like to again bring up the broken faucet (closest to the door), i cannot imagine how much water has been wasted in the last weeks.

THANKS, PLEASE HELP.

-OK, so since my boss is great she did not hesitate to pass this on, and I assure you it is awful, I am obviously not the only one with a complaint.  So’s you know what the landlord says?  That the smell is CAUSED by the humidity.  Right.  I  bet my friends in the plumbing business wish they could get away with telling customers ”just deal with it, its the humidity and should dissapate on its own”, when they call in with a drain problem that is causing a rancid smell.  Enhanced by heat and humidity? possibly, telling us to deal with it and not even spending the dough it would take to send one guy over with a gallon of bleach- REDICULOUS!  I just got back from vacation where i sit on a plywood box with a hole on the top if I need a private place to dump, and I like that smell better.  At least its fresh, ya know?  I’ll take fresh kybo type smell then rotton backed up sewer drain smell any day of the week.

REVOLT fellow bathroom users, we dont have to take this kind of abuse!  They are only telling us that because they think we are that stupid that we will just take these stupid excuses as gospel.  REFUSE to be an ignorant citifolk.  EDUCATE onself on the ways of plumbing 101. 

Or maybe just go puke in front of someone important’s office.  maybe then they’ll listen.
