I remember Michelle Forbes from her Guiding Light days. Waaay back in the day when still watched soaps.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We now apparently have basically no water in the apartment. And our landlord thinks he's going to leave it this way overnight.

What is even happening?
Either that vw, or he has to put you up somewhere with water. A waterless apt. is a Health & Safety issue.

It's got to violate some kind of code. And violation cost lots of money, more money than calling in a plumber.

Yeah, but I'm not sure I can get an inspector in here tonight anyway. And you have to get an inspector to find that out and be able to call a plumber, etc.
I wish I was better at this.
I wish they would call back.

Ok. I feel kind of badly about bitching about the landlord. There was a water main break in Kendall Square, and it's impacting most of the city's water pressure. It just seemed to coincidental that he was working on the *water* when we all of a sudden had *no more water*
But it's not his fault. And the best part of that? It means HE DOESN'T HAVE TO FIX IT, which means it may get fixed right!
