'Soul Purpose'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
They have no idea what they're in for. And that fills my heart with sadistic glee.
Ditto. What a crappy situtation, Allyson.
About the light fixture thing -- I have watched water pour out of the light fixture in my bathroom, and it was fine. I mean, the water issue was not fine, but there was no crazy electrical situation added to it. If that helps any.
I didn't read the links, but Allyson, I hope you can start putting your rent check into an escrow fund until the repairs are made. I think this is a pretty standard way of dealing with landlord disputes.
That way, he doesn't get his rent until he makes the repairs.
Timelies all!
Allyson, I'm sorry your landlord's being a slacker jackhole about the plumbing problems. Shred 'em.
This is the response I got:
Allyson, I contacted a plumber this morning and I need to call him the afternoon. His name is Ed (number removed) and he’ll try to make it to your apartment today. You can try him if you want right before lunch and tell him that you spoke to me, Robert, this morning and make an appointment for him to come to your apartment today or ASAP. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

"Allyson, I finally left the plumber a voicemail after I got your email." Whatever.
Still unacceptable. He should've been on the phone to a plumber within 10 minutes of the first time you got hold of him about this, not many days of wall stench and bloating later. You should be cc'ing all the agencies everyone else linked to above with every single communication you have with this weasel.
What JZ said. What a jackhole.
Sorry if this was already posted in another thread. NYT again covers the effect of showrunners going on TwoP: [link]
From the article, of interest to VM fans:
Mr. Thomas conceded that his awareness of the fans' reactions had occasionally influenced the way he wrote "Veronica Mars." Fans hated a second-season character played by Tessa Thompson, he said, leading him to overcompensate in an effort to make the character likable. "I feel like I sold out a little," Mr. Thomas said. "She became a little saintly by the end. If I had to do it over again, I'd leave her a little more complicated."
Allyson, I hope it gets fixed soon. Is there any thought to looking for a new place? I know that would suck, but from your neighbors' said, it looks like this is sop for your landlord.
I am waiting for a/c repair man to show up. The 8am call said my appt. would be btw 12-2, so I'm more than halfway through the waiting, I hope.
